I spend an hour each morning scanning the preprints on arxiv.org, scanning a half dozen or so and selecting perhaps one to save for weekly symposium( I like to have at least one really good paper a week to share).
It's usually easy to tell if a paper is a follow-up or response to another and if that's the case,.I might skim those too. These get supplemented with what pops up here and HN which might extend back a few months (higher signal, less noise).
This is enough to feel like I have my finger on the pulse of one topic within ML.
