pyOpenSciWhat’s getting in the way of maintaining and sharing your research software? 👀At <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SciPy2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SciPy2025</a> pyOpenSci hosted a Birds of a Feather (BoF) to ask that very question, and the community showed up with insight, vulnerability, and solutions.From confusing packaging tools to cultural barriers in academia, we break down the biggest pain points and what we’re doing next.👉 <a href="https://www.pyopensci.org/blog/pyopensci-bof-community-scipy-2025.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.pyopensci.org/blog/pyopensci-bof-community-scipy-2025.html</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenScience</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ResearchSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ResearchSoftware</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/pyOpenSci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pyOpenSci</a>

jonny (good kind)RIP <code>gpu-free-ai</code> , which was taken down from PyPI: <a href="https://pypi.org/project/gpu-free-ai/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://pypi.org/project/gpu-free-ai/</a>In its short life, we explored the possibilities of an all-garbage future, but the present was not ready for a package that explicitly implements the Features that "AI" implements implicitly, such as directly posting any keys in your environment directly to pastebin. Even though these Important Features were opt-in gated behind an environment variable, I suppose it is against the rules to upload Literal Malware to PyPI even if it is performance art.The project remains at <a href="https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat/gpu-free-ai/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat/gpu-free-ai/</a><a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SciPy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SciPy</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SciPy2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SciPy2025</a>

leah wasserIt's really good to see that educators are thinking deeply and CRITICALLY about how students are using generative AI in the classroom and how it impacts actual learning and skill development. While there is a lot of hype around AI being able to solve problems it also presents a real danger that can hinder one of the most important education outcomes : "learning how to learn". <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/scipy2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scipy2025</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/openscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#openscience</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a>
