You'd better ask @Moosey first before you continue rebuking me! Okay, I will tell dvgrn this: I agree that hubi should have removed what he said, because it is a hopelessly useless and false insult. I also agree with dvgrn's statement Your opinion that you're being mistreated is clearly very strong...

I nominate Goldtiger's synthesis of a c/4 diagonal spaceship . It's elegant chaos, and spaceship syntheses are rare. Isn't this more of a tagalong for two gliders? Strictly, I think so, but we usually count G Tagalongs as their own ships, because very few c/4ds interfere with their Gs Either way, i...

Here another famous quote, qouted without the intention to spit onto anyone of the intelligent designers of this forum: don't worry too much about that-- if you had read the responses to the thread about the intelligent design paper, you would have understood that the general consensus on this foru...

I'm happy to help occasionally You won't stop rebuking me until I die, am I right? What I find stupid about this is that dvgrn is helping you and saying that he loves to help you, and you, in response, say, in essence: "You're such a jerk" If this is the level of gratitude you show for him helping ...

ah is getting very messy and very powerful with the addition of a new separator, ,,, basically I index my separator it was based on an idea for extending beyond ,, to ,,, and so forth but then I realized I could do it in a single separator So I'm gonna try to analyze it [[0]] >> gamma_0 in the fgh a...

I hate to drag myself into this nonsense, but: Here another famous quote, qouted without the intention to spit onto anyone of the intelligent designers of this forum: I'm curious what makes you think that we're affiliated with the intelligent design or any other "alternative science" movement. ^ Ap...

It doesn't need Einsteins theory of relativity to imagine yourself riding along with the glider. It would seem rather strange that a concept describing the real world would be able to do anything for you in CGoL I don't [agree with dvgrn]. What he said about how calling us ignorant is unlikely to a...

dvgrn comes to notify people that they are in whirlpool, tries to explain

In five paragraphs...

I write long posts too

So obviously it seems like this search program has obsoleted many others, but I'm curious about how far that obsoleting went. How fast is it and what are it's strong points--is it better at finding lower- or higher-period ships, for instance? For instance, how long does it take to find, say, copperh...

dvgrn comes to rescue, tries to comfort opposing sides of Hubi controversy "Rescue" isn't too likely, I'm afraid. I'd have phrased it more like " tries to notify Hubi and various other people that they all seem to have their heads stuck in an unpleasant whirlpool ". dvgrn comes to notify people tha...

newton's flaming laser sword > other philosophical razors

Mainly because of the name

Wait
I also nominate Scholar

Surprised nobody did that for POTY earlier than this

I agree with dvgrn.

You boast of having more expertise than you show in this tiny window on this forum, while simultaneously being dismissive of the same expertise that may be possessed by others. For instance, there's a nook in this forum where people of my age or so (including yours truly) discuss extremely large nu...

@dvgrn, moderator of the Sandbox simply won't stop bothering me to death, until I stop posting and leave the forum! Good lord, he's simply trying to help you understand what we're saying and why we're saying what we are. Apparently you are simply taking anything you don't agree with and framing it ...

dvgrn comes to rescue, tries to comfort opposing sides of Hubi controversy

A glider's phase 3 is not identical to phase 1 in the way that your illustrations show; it's identical in shape, but reflected across a diagonal line, and the displacement you give is not correct. All of the following downward spiral seems to have been caused by your lack of acknowledgment of this ...

And I am hardly able to do constructive work because you Conway geeks simply do not stop to force me to struggle against your ignorance, while I'm still doing nothing worse than playing im the Sandbox! Maybe you should tell us what you mean by ignorance. Because without a definition it sounds like ...

Would this be the correct rulestring for deadlyenemies?

Code: Select all

non-canonical rulestring alert

1D rep and 2D rep in same rule, two cells each, MCPS = 3

Cool finds! Unfortunately, the rule is strongly explosive, so it's hard to see the replicators from running a soup.

I know that. But maybe similar rules would be more stable

I vote to lock this thread.

Me too. And please remove any posts beyond the one of @dani.

Why? because I was right?

You didn't bragg me at all, @Moosey. Au contraire, my dear, you encouraged me all the time to continue my struggle against the ignorance of most of mathematicians. Thank you very much! Okay, let me rephrase what I said: after analyzing what you said I have concluded that it was a jab at me--specifi...
