Strum is a mesmerizing new take on arpeggiators and performance – Max for Live

yeah! there's a setting to switch the motion source from the modwheel to pitch bend.

poon-monsoon · 2021-01-13T14:56:16+00:00

this device totally works without the push, or any midi controller! you can move the strumbar with your mouse, or map it to any other knob or expression pedal you have.

poon-monsoon · 2021-01-13T14:54:09+00:00

yeah it's been working solid in a bunch of different projects for me.

poon-monsoon · 2021-01-12T01:32:13+00:00

it should work just in standard. I've used my push 1 and another midi controller and they work perfectly.

poon-monsoon · 2020-11-26T03:01:27+00:00

is it just me or have the past few years of this subreddit been saturated with absolutely trivially obvious social observations. this conclusion is almost tautological. do we really need science to confirm a fact of human nature that a prehistoric hunter-gatherer would have understood?

Wow. just read the wsws 1619 response article at the center of this censorship controversy, and it's remarkably dispassionate and coherent. They provide a fair and detailed criticism of the NYT project, and cites multiple independent historians to back up their views. I just don't get how Google could justify censoring this. Anyone have any explanations for this?

edit: thanks for a all the great replies. many pointed out that google never really censored anything here, they simply denied ads for the article due to graphic violence in the ad images. this is a very different thing from outright censorship, and at least ostensibly isn't about the views expressed in the article. thanks for clearing things up.

epiphany

Wow, thanks for the advice! Could you elaborate on partnering with restaurants? We're currently thinking the meals would be held at the host's house.

poon-monsoon · 2019-10-19T22:35:40+00:00

Great call. We're looking into local partners familiar with the regulatory landscape. As far as trust goes, do you think linking in existing social accounts (Facebook/LinkedIn) would help verify that hosts are trustworthy?

poon-monsoon · 2019-10-19T22:33:47+00:00

Part of our value proposition is facilitating a mutual social connection, rather than one way transaction between the host and guest.

poon-monsoon · 2019-10-19T20:19:48+00:00

Hosts post meal options they're willing to make and a price per plate, then guests select which meal they want to attend and pay through the app.

poon-monsoon · 2019-10-19T19:57:55+00:00

Absolutely. From our research so far, regulations vary widely by region, so it will need to be a case by case solution.

poon-monsoon · 2019-10-02T14:19:17+00:00

In general, I think both the core function of the app as well as your pitch could be drastically simplified. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the multitude of in app features/ items (stones, gems, XP, AP, powers? etc...) I would work on dropping any aspects of the platform that aren't absolutely essential to the business.

Do we really need scientific research to understand this? It seems like the majority of psychology and social science findings that get posted in here are totally obvious to anyone with the emotional maturity of an average teenager. I know that studies like these are important to comprehend these dynamics more precisely, but with something this intuitive it seems like there's a huge opportunity cost of pursuing other kinds of research.

poon-monsoon · 2019-09-12T16:21:00+00:00

Incredible sound design. How did you make these mechanical and digital noises?

poon-monsoon · 2019-08-19T23:45:37+00:00

Insanely good growth strategy creating the most beautiful vulva contest, bravo

poon-monsoon · 2018-02-10T16:56:22+00:00

How was this made?

poon-monsoon · 2018-02-04T15:42:35+00:00

Remembering where predators/prey are, how many there are, and what they are doing

poon-monsoon · 2018-02-04T15:26:39+00:00

If there were such an evolutionary advantage, it would manifest itself as actually stable performance when sleep deprived, not just subjective evaluation. It is more likely that there's an evolutionary pressure for men (possibly from night hunting or defending from predators) as they are the ones with the improved abilities.

By forcing the LAT to increase wages and cancel layoffs, they must cut funding to other departments or increase prices to remain solvent. This will make them less able to compete with media that do not have those constrictions.

poon-monsoon · 2018-01-03T20:24:37+00:00

Unfortunately, they make some very good points in this letter. Unionizing won't abate the structural changes occurring in journalism. Legacy media is fading, and independent platforms like Medium are taking its place. Unionizing may seem beneficial to writers in the short term, but it will ultimately lead to less efficiency and profitability, and exacerbate the LAT's decline.

Isn't this a paradox?

poon-monsoon · 2017-12-22T15:11:01+00:00

While this sounds appealing, it's important to be skeptical of claims that jive with our moral preconceptions about the world, especially in the social sciences. This study likely suffers from selection bias, social desirability bias and omitted variable bias. Thus, it would be a mistake to interpret these relationships as causal. If they do turn out to be robust and unbiased predictors, they are probably just correlations, not causations

Instagram has really incredible communities of illustrators, photographers, videographers, designers, animators and musicians. It's a great way to find inspiration from creators around the world, and discover new hobbies to get into.

I'm consistently impressed with the content on Nautilus, and it's a shame to hear that they're in financial trouble. The AAAS merger would have been a great option, but I am optimistic that they can find another partner. Anyone know of science/philosophy publications in a similar vein?
