Shifts in how sex and gender identity are defined may alter human rights protections: Canadians deserve to know how and why
Transparent public discussions are needed around how ‘sex,’ ‘gender identity’ and ‘gender expression’ are being defined and given effect in education, law, public policy and beyond.

Catholic radio stations push back on new race and gender reporting rules 
In February, FCC commissioners reinstated a requirement that radio stations must annually file a document that lists the race and gender of their employees.

GBEC: Geometry-Based Hand-Eye Calibration
Hand-eye calibration is the problem of solving the transformation from the end-effector of a robot to the sensor attached to it. Commonly employed techniques, such as AXXB or AXZB formulations, rely on regression methods that require collecting pose data from different robot configurations, which can produce low accuracy and repeatability. However, the derived transformation should solely depend on the geometry of the end-effector and the sensor attachment. We propose Geometry-Based End-Effecto…

LGBTQ+ media broke details about Nex Benedict's gender identity. Mainstream media reacted slowly - Poynter
‘It’s shocking because this is a kid in Oklahoma, which is right at the center of this incredible debate about the humanity of LGBTQ people’

"Bei keiner der für 2024 angekündigten deutschen Open-Data-Day-Veranstaltungen findet sich das Thema Gender Data Gap.
„Die Auswirkungen geschlechtsspezifischer Datenlücken werden völlig unterschätzt“, so die Präsidentin des djb, Ursula Matthiessen-Kreuder. „Es besteht ein dringender Bedarf an nach Geschlechtern aufgeschlüsselten Daten.“"

Convex Geometry of Building Sets
Building sets were introduced in the study of wonderful compactifications of hyperplane arrangement complements and were later generalized to meet-semilattices. Convex geometries, the duals of antimatroids, offer a robust combinatorial abstraction of convexity. Supersolvable convex geometries and antimatroids make appearances in the study of poset closure operators, Coxeter groups, and matroid activities. We prove that the building sets on a meet-semilattice form a supersolvable convex geometry.

Fractional decoding of algebraic geometry codes over extension fields
In this paper, we study algebraic geometry codes from curves over $\mathbb{F}_{q^\ell}$ through their virtual projections which are algebraic geometric codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$. We use the virtual projections to provide fractional decoding algorithms for the codes over $\mathbb{F}_{q^\ell}$. Fractional decoding seeks to perform error correction using a smaller fraction of $\mathbb{F}_q$-symbols than a typical decoding algorithm. In one instance, the bound on the number of correctable errors di…

FlockGPT: Guiding UAV Flocking with Linguistic Orchestration
This article presents the world's first rapid drone flocking control using natural language through generative AI. The described approach enables the intuitive orchestration of a flock of any size to achieve the desired geometry. The key feature of the method is the development of a new interface based on Large Language Models to communicate with the user and to generate the target geometry descriptions. Users can interactively modify or provide comments during the construction of the flock geo…
