are you a platform/embedded developer?
do you need to interact with hardware in a semi-custom manner?
would you like to suffer a lot less doing it?
if so, #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer might be for you. the code below is all you need to build a custom testbench for a DUT you've never seen before. just as easily you can add JTAG/SWD debug, protocol analyzers, etc.…

In New York's Assembly, where Mamdani was first elected, each member represents 130,000 people. California's is half the size for a twice as populous state: each member represents 490,000.
If we made California's Assembly as representative as NY's, SF would have 6 Assemblymembers instead of 2.

GEAR: Gaze-Enabled Human-Robot Collaborative Assembly
Recent progress in robot autonomy and safety has significantly improved human-robot interactions, enabling robots to work alongside humans on various tasks. However, complex assembly tasks still present significant challenges due to inherent task variability and the need for precise operations. This work explores deploying robots in an assistive role for such tasks, where the robot assists by fetching parts while the skilled worker provides high-level guidance and performs the assembly. We intr…

Finite actions and asymptotic charges at null infinity for any spin
We identify boundary terms renormalizing the free on-shell actions for massless fields of arbitrary spin, including electromagnetism and linearized gravity, with boundary conditions allowing for supertranslation-like asymptotic symmetries. Our focus is on null infinity, in any spacetime dimensions. We also comment on the renormalization of the corresponding asymptotic charges.

Asymptotic behavior of geodesics in conformally compact manifolds
We study the asymptotic behavior of geodesics near the boundary of a conformally compact Riemannian manifold $(X,g)$. In the case where the sectional curvature at infinity is constant (the asymptotically hyperbolic case) it is known that non-trapped geodesics extend to the conformal infinity as smoothly immersed curves in $\overline{X}$ and that the conformal infinity can be locally smoothly parametrized by the initial directions of such non-trapped geodesics starting at a given point. We show …

Adaptive tail index estimation: minimal assumptions and non-asymptotic guarantees
A notoriously difficult challenge in extreme value theory is the choice of the number $k\ll n$, where $n$ is the total sample size, of extreme data points to consider for inference of tail quantities. Existing theoretical guarantees for adaptive methods typically require second-order assumptions or von Mises assumptions that are difficult to verify and often come with tuning parameters that are challenging to calibrate. This paper revisits the problem of adaptive selection of $k$ for the Hill…

A Graph Completion Method that Jointly Predicts Geometry and Topology Enables Effective Molecule Assembly
A common starting point for drug design is to find small chemical groups or "fragments" that form interactions with distinct subregions in a protein binding pocket. The subsequent challenge is to assemble these fragments into a molecule that has high affinity to the protein, by adding chemical bonds between atoms in different fragments. This "molecule assembly" task is particularly challenging because, initially, fragment positions are known only approximately. Prior methods for spatial graph c…
