Free Resonator Plugin Polyphonic by @polarity
#PolarityRES has grown far beyond the first version introduced in May. This video demonstrates the new features in the free resonator plugin: polyphonic and MPE MIDI modes, per-node controls and modulation, subharmonic snapping, user presets, and new Generate, Mutate, and Learn Var tools for creating resonator banks.
The plugin remains completely free and is available for Windows, macOS and #Linux. VST3, CLAP, and Standalone builds are supported on all three platforms, with AU additionally available on macOS. No account, email capture, telemetry, or iLok is required.

Carl F #Krafft posited: #Venturi forces account for 1806× #mass-difference in #proton & #electron but #polarity looks minor compared to #equatorial #flux. The point is, I'm working #conceptually but Krafft used a #sliderule. WHERE'S YOUR #COMPUTER‽ #electrogravitics Full #PDF t.me/gonzojourney...

@pseudonym If Resistance is Compassion, that means:
Voltage is how much you care, want, or believe—before action happens.
Amperage is what you actually do, moment to moment.
So, according to Ohm’s Law:

Call: “Valence Asymmetries”
Isidora Stojanovic, Lorenza D’Angelo, Morgan Moyer, and Michelle Stankovic organizing a conference on “Valence Asymmetries,” which will take place at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra from March 19 to 20, 2026.
Abstracts for presentations can be submitted until September 10. The call reads:
The Valence Asymmetries ERC team is happy to announce that it will be organizing the first VALENCE ASYMMETRIES conference on March 19th–20th 2026 at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain. The event is funded by Isidora Stojanovic’s ERC Advanced Grant “Valence Asymmetries: the positive, the negative, the good and the bad in language, mind and morality” (GA n° 101142133).
This interdisciplinary event will discuss themes which are central to the Valence Asymmetries project, including the role of valence asymmetries in perception, emotion, morality, language, and communication. Discussion will draw upon insights from philosophy, psychology, and linguistics.
There will be invited talks by Hans Alves, Frederique de Vignemont, Saif Mohammad, and Pascale Willemsen. There is also room for 4–6 additional talks, to be selected from open submissions. Each selected talk will be assigned a 50 min slot, including discussion.
We especially encourage submissions on the relation between value, valence, and polarity; theoretical and empirical accounts of valence asymmetries in language, including in negative strengthening, scalar inferences, and irony; the asymmetry between virtue and vice, and between praise and blame, in normative and applied ethics; as well as other discussions of valence asymmetries in linguistics, cognitive science, moral psychology, and cognate areas.
If you are interested in presenting your work at this venue, please submit a 2-page abstract to [email protected] by Sep 30th, with the subject line “valence asymmetries submission.”

Poli Sci professor does study that confirms his thesis: "He argues that declining access to local news forces voters, who are not otherwise familiar with the specifics of their local governments’ agendas or legislators, to default to national partisan lines when casting regional ballots". #journalism #polarity #partisanship https://www.cjr.org/business_of_news/they-gave-local-news-away-for-free-virtually-nobody-wanted-it.php

Today the Moon 🌖 is in practical Virgo ♍, forming an opposition to...
spiritual Neptune in Pisces! 🌊
This opposition can illuminate the polarity between a fantasy, illusion, or delusion 🌫️
and the real-world matters that are tangible and hands-on. 🏡
Hint: If you want to manifest your soul's truth in the material world,
you need BOTH! 💖

In #bioinformatics, and #scientific #computing generally, raw #data is never ever in a usable form.
This is one of the many things #Hollywood persistently gets wrong: the #scientist / #hacker / omni-computer-geek opens up the file, stares at a bunch of #numbers or #symbols, and says, “Ah hah! If I #compile the #HTML to reverse the #polarity on the #IP #gateway, I can #deconvolve the #DNA sequence to #backpropagate the #cellular #metabolism of the #alien #plague! Oh, and make #dinosaurs if you want, but that’s extra.”
Bonus points if the screen projects on said scientist’s face and reflects from the inevitable chunky-framed glasses. Scribbling equations backward on a transparent whiteboard may also be involved.
#Scientists, as I have said many times before and no doubt will need to say many times again, are people. We’re pretty good with numbers, yes, as a rule. But what we’re good at doing with those numbers is not reading and understanding them. It’s using them as the raw materials for product which makes sense to the human brain. Words, pictures, and a MUCH SMALLER number of numbers is our goal. Also continued #funding, which is about the kind of numbers everyone understands.
Before we process the numbers, we need to “#preprocess” them. There are several intermediate steps between the really raw data and the cover story for next week’s issue of Nature. Preprocessing is where we turn the glowing symbols projected onto our faces into something that kinda-sorta makes sense. It’s still not really readable, but people looking at it, who know what they’re looking at, can tell what it represents.
Usually this is in the form of one or more #tables: for a familiar example, think of an #Excel workbook with several large #spreadsheets. (In reality, storing data in Excel is a terrible idea, but I’ll stick with that metaphor.) Nobody’s going to read and digest everything in the workbook. You can look at the headers and a few of the values and at least have an idea where to start. Preprocessing gets you to that point.
For most types of data, preprocessing is fairly standardized. You don’t have to write your own code: someone else has already done that work for you. Just pick a #software #package, run the raw data through it, glance at the output to make sure nothing went horribly wrong. Now you’re ready to write the code only you can write, to discover the Secrets of Life Itself. Now is the time for SCIENCE.
Or Nature. Or The Journal Of Obscure Subfield Ten People In The World Know Exists. Or a tech report. You know, whatever.
Careful readers will have noticed the word “fairly” above. In fact there are multiple #algorithms to choose from, and multiple packages implementing those algorithms, and #documentation written at 3:00 AM by an exhausted #postdoc who really just wanted to check the #cell cultures one last time and grab the remaining half a chicken salad sandwich from the break room fridge and go home and crawl into bed for a few hours’ sleep before dragging ass back in tomorrow. Shower optional.
Other exhausted postdocs and their harassed #principal #investigators, who get somewhat more sleep and a somewhat finer grade of chicken salad but are much more worried about upcoming funding application deadlines, may or may not bother to write down which package they use to preprocess their data. Or what specific parameters they tuned. Or if they even know how they’re supposed to use the damned thing: there’s a really good chance they just ran the data through on the default settings, got something that looked reasonable, and called it a day.
Amazingly, most of the time this doesn’t really matter. Data has a life of its own. The bigger the data set gets, and these days nearly all data are “big data,” the more likely it is that any reasonable method will produce similar results. Good thing too, otherwise science (and Science) would grind to a screeching, shuddering, smoking halt.
Sometimes it matters a lot. Careful scientists check, just in case. I try to be one of those, and when I’m not, my coworkers pick up the slack. Luckily for me, for most of my career I’ve found myself in the company of those who live up to that standard, and I can mostly convince myself I do the same. Another item on Hollywood’s long list of sins: science is not a solo enterprise. In fact it’s deeply social, which is one of several reason why the stereotype of scientists as loners is a load of crap. But I digress.
In case you’re wondering if this has a point, yes it does, and here it is: all the above is why my boss recently sent me a message saying, “Woah yeah ok so maybe you do need to process from raw after all. B/c idk wtf that is.”
Without any irony at all: I love my job.

Over the moon to share
@danzhanghappy
et al’s paper now published in @eLife “Opposite polarity programs regulate asymmetric subsidiary cell divisions in grasses” - we identified a novel, distal #polarity domain formed by the POLAR homolog in #Brachypodium. Together with a proximal polarity domain formed by PAN1, POLAR acts like a compass to define the orientation of the formative #CellDivision that makes stomatal helper cells in #grasses. https://elifesciences.org/articles/79913 -

Doing this should be internationally considered as a #crime against humanity and universally prosecuted (probably with compulsory work on repairing whatever got damaged in the process). Change my mind.
