SF Supervisor Matt Dorsey was one of 15 BCDC Commissioners who voted to take away weekday access to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge bike path.
Dorsey said cyclists need to learn to compromise more. So much for his bragging about using bikeshare 🚮

Richmond bridge bike lane access to be reduced starting this fall
The change to Thursday afternoons through Sundays, starting in October, lets transportation officials test the impact on traffic congestion.

PRvL: Quantifying the Capabilities and Risks of Large Language Models for PII Redaction
Redacting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from unstructured text is critical for ensuring data privacy in regulated domains. While earlier approaches have relied on rule-based systems and domain-specific Named Entity Recognition (NER) models, these methods fail to generalize across formats and contexts. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a promising alternative, yet the effect of architectural and training choices on redaction performance remains underexplored. LLMs…

Canonical Reductive Decomposition of Extrinsic Homogeneous Submanifolds
Let $\overline{M}=\overline{G}/\overline{H}$ be a homogeneous Riemannian manifold. Given a Lie subgroup $G\subset \overline{G}$ and a reductive decomposition of the homogeneous structure of $\overline{M}$, we analyze a canonical reductive decomposition for the orbits of the action of $G$. These leaves of the $G$-action are extrinsic homogeneous submanifolds and the analysis of the reductive decomposition of them is related with their extrinsic properties. We connect the study with works in the …

A Direct Reduction from Stochastic Parity Games to Simple Stochastic Games
Significant progress has been recently achieved in developing efficient solutions for simple stochastic games (SSGs), focusing on reachability objectives. While reductions from stochastic parity games (SPGs) to SSGs have been presented in the literature through the use of multiple intermediate game models, a direct and simple reduction has been notably absent. This paper introduces a novel and direct polynomial-time reduction from quantitative SPGs to quantitative SSGs. By leveraging a gadget-b…
