Biomedical open source software: Crucial packages and hidden heroes

The American Medical Association directly responds to New York Times coverage mischaracterizing their posiiton on gender affirming care for trans young people. cloud.e.ama-assn.org/newsletter?u...
In recent days, AMA communications to the New York Times have requested a correction on their part to reflect the actual language the AMA used in response to their inquiry. Additionally, a letter to the editor has been submitted requesting a public correction—this was neither a policy change nor was it an endorsement of a position taken by another medical society. In addition, during Congressional testimony in mid-March, I had the opportunity to set the record straight stating to the Subcommittee on Health of the House Energy and Commerce Committee that there has been no change in AMA policy with respect to access to and provision of gender-affirming care. This will appear in the Congressional Record.

Our most depressing result ... We find, paradoxically, that there is a significant *negative* relationship between frequency of code contribution and an individual’s h-index That is, for an individual scientist the more they contribute to software development the smaller their h-index

'Code Contribution and Credit in Science' - new paper led by @evamaxfield.bsky.social w/ @isaacslaughter.bsky.social 1. We build a model that matches scientists (authors) with their GitHub accounts 2. We apply our model to ~140K paper-software repository pairs direct.mit.edu/qss/article/...

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned
A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing. I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink. But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Does anyone want to go down a rabbit hole with me? My girlfriend put on Spotify's "Cozy Christmas Jazz" playlist the other night and we are now trying to figure out if one of the songs/artists featured in this playlist is AI generated?? The band is "Smooth Heisters"...
Screenshot of Spotify mobile app with "Smooth Heisters" band page pulled up.
