Tony Morrison’s Rootedness
That, if an action were to be done as in a community, its regarded as safer
It is a very personal grief and a personal statement done among people you trust. Done within the context of the community, therefore safe.
Public (white-washed) and private image, by necessesity, is separated
it’s just important that it be private. And then, whatever I do that is public can be done seriously.
bool
Last edited: August 8, 2025bool does not belong in pure C.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h> // you need to include this to get bools to work.
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
bool test = true;
if (test)
printf("its true\n")
}

Big idea: treat your sample space as your population, and sample from it to obtain an estimate of the properties of the sample distribution.
\begin{equation} D \approx \hat{D} \end{equation}
so, to calculate the distribution of any given statistic via a sample:
- estimate the PMF using sample
my_statistic_dist
= [] (like sample mean, sample variance, etc.)- for i in (N >> 10000)
- take a
subsample
of len(sample) samples from PMFu my_statistic_dist
.append(my_statistic=(=subsample
)) (recall it has to be a sampling statistic (like N-1 for sample variance)
- take a
- how you have a distribution of
my_statistic
We know that taking mean and var re drawn as a statistic of the same random variable, \(N\) times. So, central limit theorem holds. Therefore, these are normal and you can deal with them.

Uses the single-user avoidance POMDP formulation presented in (Bouton, Cosgun, and Kochenderfer 2017) to extend to multiple road users
Novelty
Uses Single-User Model of Road Navigation to extend general POMDP formulation into multi-pedestrian/multi road user casesroad user cases

Previous Work
Imagine worst-case scenario always: set upper bound and always imagine it; could cause gridlock if situation never resolves.
Notable Methods
Uses QMDP and SARSOP to perform optimization
