Can you please not do one word replies to posts, especially when said word isn't even spelled properly?

Drawing on PCA grids after I Alt-Z and then use the color picker seems to often put the dot I draw in an incorrect spot. I am not sure what causes this exactly, but it seems to be reproducible. I'm on Chrome.

Personally, I don't feel like a like button is a feature that we really need right now, because it kind of turns the community into a popularity contest when it happens sometimes (depending on the situation and community), though it's also possible it would encourage more people to post interesting ...

Possibly construction and computation-universal generations rule: RLE I like that rule.

Interestingly, dani's set of 4 rakes does stabilize into 9 non-interacting ones after 131,000,000 generations, when the final two gliders bounced off of one of the rake outputs finally get destroyed.

I posted this a bit ago.
There are some ships there.

I see your signature, aforampere Finish a rule with ships with period >= f_e_0(n) (in progress) I am very interested, being a googology person. Are you gonna make ships that use the Goodstein sequence or hydras or something else? Basically using hydras, specifically Primitive Sequence System, if I ...

That 'castles' rule is neat.

The top one seems to stabilize at 6,169,725.

I am now convinced that (7,1)c/8 is right around the corner: x = 10, y = 12, rule = B2aci3aj4cijkrtz5ajkqy6kn78/S2ak3ejkqr4cijqtwz5-aenr6ace7e8 5b2ob2o$4b5o$2o3bo2b2o$2ob2o2bo$2o4b2obo$3ob4o$o6bobo$2b2o5bo$4bobobo$ bo7bo$bobo3b2o$8bo!

Nobody did. The period is estimated based on how the ship works. You can calculate the period because it does the same type of thing over and over (the binary counting).

...evidence for (7,1)c/8's existence. Nice. I'm both happy and sad hearing this. I was hoping the search was over, but now it looks like it may be possible for a ship to exist. Here's a frontend that preserves the first 3 columns through one cycle: x = 4, y = 16, rule = B2-ik3cr4-eijq5-aekq6ak7c8/S...

The maximum speed that zfind supports is c/2. I don't know the algorithm well enough to explain this limitation. That's not quite true. Searching for a 2c/3 in B2ac3ae/S1c2i3i works just fine. It seems that sometimes the search requires higher widths than it should, but these work below, as well as...

Happy birthday, Lewis!

LaundryPizza03 wrote: Might this mean that (7,1)c/8 is impossible?

Maybe. Can you post the exact parameters of the search? I seem to have to specify a lot of extra things for it not to give me weird shrinking stationary lines.

muzik wrote:Should we be trying to minimise the range for the rules that contain these? It seems to make more sense that we'd be looking for a 2c ship in a range-2 rule, rather than a range-5 one.

That's way, way harder to find. I think just having Nc/1 ships for all N now is good for now.

I started high school when I was 13 too. But I turned 14 shortly after I started. I think Moosey was home schooled, so maybe he skipped ahead or something.

Bunches of results for collisions of 2G and 3G with small still lives. I can't add the last one, so I'll add it if I post again.
