Twitter bot
Re: Twitter bot
It's a valid point. If there were a way to make it more specific, I would do it. There is no way to filter only certain symmetries on the object page, if I get it right. But it is always the last link.

Re: Twitter bot
Twitterbot has gained its 100th follower today. I think we can use this channel to popularize apgsearch.
I think that people would be much more responsive if the twitterbot mentioned people who had submitted the haul that contained a new pattern, and in case their username started with @, Twitter would make a proper link to the person's profile.
@calcyman Would it be hard to add the name of a person, who contributed the first haul, where each pattern was found, to the text census? Like
At least for the patterns that have occurred only once (for asymmetric soups, in symmetric soups up to 8 instances can occur at once). It is also possible that a pattern occurs in several asymmetric soups in a short time, but that's not that likely.

I seem to remember that occurring with one of the 30-bit SLs, xs30_651u0u156zwbd0db.codeholic wrote:At least for the patterns that have occurred only once (for asymmetric soups, in symmetric soups up to 8 instances can occur at once).

Re: Twitter bot
It happened to the eater-eating-eater (or whatever it's called) and the integral variant, too. They each jumped from 1 to around 7 occurences in a very short space of time.Extrementhusiast wrote:I seem to remember that occurring with one of the 30-bit SLs, xs30_651u0u156zwbd0db.codeholic wrote:At least for the patterns that have occurred only once (for asymmetric soups, in symmetric soups up to 8 instances can occur at once).

Re: Twitter bot
Done.
If you don't want to change your name you sign in with in Catagolue, but you want to be mentioned by Twitterbot with your Twitter username, send a pull request for this file or just write me a private message here on the forums.

Re: Twitter bot
Just wondering, why aren't things like this counted as eater2 variants in the census matcher, or tweeted by the twitterbot?
Re: Twitter bot
Because though it is an eater (see RLE), this is not exactly an eater2 and it is not as useful.
P. S. Though you can use it in Syringe.
Code: Select all
x = 12, y = 14, rule = B3/S23

Re: Twitter bot
Things like xs21_g88b94djoz123 are not eater 2 precursors, because of the extra hook sticking out. Perhaps setting up a slight filter would work?

Re: Twitter bot
Sorry to bump, but perhaps this may warrant an update? ZZ-linear patterns and pseudo-oscillators may need to be calmed down a little, with the new barrage of symmetric apgmera instances. Things like this might have been interesting in the past, but as the number of objects increases, the standard for interestingness increases too.
Re: Twitter bot
I've got a different plan. I want to put the Twitter bot on a different account, @conwaylifebot, and retweet only the stuff that is interesting by @conwaylife account. But thanks for voicing your concern.

Re: Twitter bot
Can you mention the users who finds the patterns in symmetric soups too?
Re: Twitter bot
The twitter bot posted "testing API, never mind" three days ago and then fell silent. Did something break?

Re: Twitter bot
I don't understand. For each new soup, it seems you can do an MD5 hash on the part of the soup string that acts as an ID for the haul (which is the first 14 letters if the string starts with m_ or n_, and 12 otherwise), go to the haul's page at catagolue.appspot.com/haul/b3s23/[symmetry]/[MD5], and return the name of the user who submitted the haul. Am I missing something?codeholic wrote:AFAIK, it is not supported by Catagolue yet.
EDIT on December 17: I just realized that the Twitter bot was using a feature of Catagolue previously unknown to me, which is only available for certain symmetries, to attribute the hauls. So, I guess that answers that question.
