One blog post is listed below, the packages have likely been updated since. <br/><br/><a href="https://cornball.ai/posts/tinyverse-development-toolchain/">https://cornball.ai/posts/tinyverse-development-toolchain/</a> 2026-05-31T13:05:45Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2n8my8rdp9jddsgepw3upmlyuk2r8eu7nwgh55u7qr3f6lz37cvczyzmue63wu9vep9ytfjtleztlkuw04akpzdtsqc2r7n2dyym2azrwzpu69qz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszhqez5gpyurm4a82kpjckrjqq2v2mdvwpsh8ncxq8tj0x22zrj6qqjfjqp'>nevent1q…fjqp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I am also a little non-plus&#39;ed about the accrued time from forks. But the good news is that it should be ficticious money: for open source projects you usually do not get charged. 2025-12-31T19:07:40Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs22zng2eed4mvekalrdaqeg92axzyytxzgv94w77grqj05kegytlqzyzmue63wu9vep9ytfjtleztlkuw04akpzdtsqc2r7n2dyym2azrwzxxcrun duckdb-mlpack 0.0.4: Added random forest and logistic regression<br/>Bringing mlpack machine learning to duckdb SQL<br/><a href="https://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2025/11/11#duckdb-mlpack_0.0.4">https://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2025/11/11#duckdb-mlpack_0.0.4</a><br/><br/>Adds random forest and (regularized) logistic regression, reworks interface, adds new state variable for verbosity, expands documentation and adds unit tests<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/533/354/884/819/371/original/da98a37d79931b00.png"> <br/> 2025-11-11T22:17:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswnrgr5euns5qz9ctxdusgm427g8rzz8cuzzayehl20ykzh22kdqszyzmue63wu9vep9ytfjtleztlkuw04akpzdtsqc2r7n2dyym2azrwzwzfn4s In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0kvym0kxvdvupdu23trqnw9trjn6y2lua89782d3gqgyqg0mmjcsl0jcxx'>nevent1q…jcxx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I really believe you have to have lived for a while with CRAN in &#34;production&#34; or other &#34;downstream use cases&#34; (and either at scale. ideally) to understand how this &#34;everything at HEAD&#34; monorepo works.
