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…

Towards Deeper Understanding of Natural User Interactions in Virtual Reality Based Assembly Tasks
We explore natural user interactions using a virtual reality simulation of a robot arm for assembly tasks. Using a Wizard-of-Oz study, participants completed collaborative LEGO and instructive PCB assembly tasks, with the robot responding under experimenter control. We collected voice, hand tracking, and gaze data from users. Statistical analyses revealed that instructive and collaborative scenarios elicit distinct behaviors and adopted strategies, particularly as tasks progress. Users tended t…

On Asymptotic Analysis of the Two-Stage Approach: Towards Data-Driven Parameter Estimation
In this paper, we analyze the asymptotic properties of the Two-Stage (TS) estimator -- a simulation-based parameter estimation method that constructs estimators offline from synthetic data. While TS offers significant computational advantages compared to standard approaches to estimation, its statistical properties have not been previously analyzed in the literature. Under simple assumptions, we establish that the TS estimator is strongly consistent and asymptotically normal, providing the firs…

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 …

Evaluating Randomness Assumption: A Novel Graph Theoretic Approach
Randomness or mutual independence is a fundamental assumption forming the basis of statistical inference across disciplines such as economics, finance, and management. Consequently, validating this assumption is essential for the reliable application of statistical methods. However, verifying randomness remains a challenge, as existing tests in the literature are often restricted to detecting specific types of data dependencies. In this paper, we propose a novel graph-theoretic approach to test…
