John Conway, the creator of the Game of Life, is working on a Game of Life simulator.
The game is currently at alpha state. But that's not even the best part, because it'll have its own website that will let you create your own simulation of life at that virtual reality game. And it could have a similar name to the one used to describe the game. Just check: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/3l ... me-of-life

Chopin's etude no. 1012 is beautiful.
It is in the key of F minor, and is a furious piece similar to his "Winter wind" etude (no. 11). It opens with a tremendous crash before continuing quietly but rapidly.
That is, Chopin's first melody of the work is a dramatic, violent, and dramaticly powerful melodic pattern. It doesn't even take a piece of Chopin's work to generate that sort of intensity. Even though you may have read all those praises of Chopin's works by now, you will find that this is a much better piece of music and a much more engaging and original piece of music.
I suggest naming this the copperhead, after the snake. It's not hard to see why this isn't the most popular image of the snake -- it looks too big.

If you're lucky enough to be surrounded by spiny arachnids, you might not be aware of how big they can get. The largest spider in the world, the Jumbo Spider is the second largest spider in the world (behind the giant orb weavers of Asia), after the spider that eats ants.

This species was discovered in the US by Mary Pemberton in 1849, and the giant spider is believed to have been around from ancient times, since we can't see the huge spiders anymore. It's thought the giant spiders reached to a height of several feet. They were considered dangerous, and were classified as a poisonous species, after that classification.
The word is venomous, people! Not poisonous unless the toxin is passively dangerous.
Snakes -> venomous
Dart frogs -> poisonous
Seriously, you are Michael Simkin! I kept Michael Simkin in my ignore list! :shock: REMOVING NOW FROM IGNORE LIST

Oh wait, we are still rivals. I will also do a c/3 spaceship gun, other than dart, but this time the credits will be mine. And moreover, if it is to be a dart, my gun will be smaller and run at lower period! Unfortunately that means p30 with Gosper glider guns, but will hold a record!

Cthulhu wants to talk about cuddly kittens. He just loves those things. Also, he loves those fluffy cat puppies [editor's note: ? Fluffy cat puppies?] that get stuffed into things [poor cat puppies. Hope they're stuffed carefully into something comfortable and not smothered under a rug or something]. Cuthulhu has always loved the stuffed cats in his old home. He is a giant creature and they are the greatest. Cthulhu has fond memories of his old home. He has been watching cat videos for years and he is a sucker for cute cats.
Lovecraft should have made this the theme of his stuff. Cthulhu looks really frightening but in truth he's Only insecure because he has no pet cats!
When he breaks loose he's just gonna rampage towards the nearest pet shop and get a cat.

Related:
Cthulhu is actually not a terrible monster. He looks scary but he's not evil. He lives in the house down the block. The red brick one with the welcome mat. I see him walking down the street every day and he greets a neighbor who walks their dog around the same time. He doesn't come to work at all. He's quiet and friendly. He's always here, always on time -- when he's not visiting his beloved family in the suburbs. He doesn't really have many friends but he's not even that close.
His neighbor is quite quick to give information on how kind Cthulhu is, apparently.

Conway's Game of Life

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Game of Life game was introduced by John Conway in 1965. Each time you play the game in any given order, you have to predict your next move (and win) by guessing exactly what is following before you pick your moves. There are 11 different moves in the Game of Life game, as shown in this image.

Play the Game of Life

How Do You Start The Game of Life?

There are three possible starting positions:

0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 3 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 3 3 1 0 1 3 1 1 2 3

The Game of Life plays a series of rounds, in which you keep on guessing until you have all 12 possible moves. When you are down to 12 of the 16 possible move choices, you have a 30-foot window of chance before you have a random game of life. In this window, you move on to the next round. Each round is represented by a random number that will appear when you try to guess a new move in that round.

The Game of Life is a very popular game of strategy within the United States; it is often called the 'game of life'. The more you play, the less you know about strategy and the more you play with people you have never met. Because players may try

John is a fairly (arche)typical name, after all. If I had no knowledge of who I was talking about and I needed to fake it I'd just add a normal-sounding name like John or Robert or Charles in front
And that doesn't even count the famous Pi-R-Squared spaceship, seen briefly in 1974 on a PDP-12 display by Tony Honcho Jarnow, produced from a 128x80 random soup, just before an unfortunate power outage due to tripping on a power cable, where two pi grandparents and two R-pentominos, totaling 20 bits in a 55x34 bounding box, happen to interact in just the right way to reproduce a copy of themselves offset by one cell every 137 ticks. That is a lot of noise in the air, making it hard to measure with a straight face

The Cheeseburger uses a similar function with the ability to pickpocket.
EDIT:
I met a traveler from an antique land,
who said: two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand



in the valley to the westward, and their feet
In the air, above their feet they swing to the sky,—

And a wing of shining blue in each wing
Pierces the night sky,


A great eagle that stands and watches


The white fields in heaven below,


Or looks on the fair hills in the land to the westward.
I met a traveler from an antique land,
who said: there are two granite legs
Alone, in the desert, they stand.
A placard on them reads as follows:
"I met a traveler from an antique land,
who said: there are two granite legs
."
On one leg is inscribed on it:
"I met a traveler from an antique land,
who said: there are two granite legs."
On the other leg is inscribed:
"I met a traveler from an antique land,
who said: there are two marble legs."
And it is written:
"There is stone and marble in the desert of a desert traveler."
I saw two faces in the sand on that granite leg.
I saw two faces in the sand on the marble leg.
I saw two faces in the sand on the granite leg.
I saw two faces in the sand on the marble leg.
At that time, the traveler made fifteen words:
"I met a traveler from an antique land,
who said: there are two granite legs."
The fifteen words of that inscription stand like one.

And the demon duck of doom came upon the white whale, and fought it. Morgoth watched his servant clobber the whale, and he was pleased, for the demon duck was winning. But then Gandalf came, and smote the duck. But the duck called for the balrogs, and they came, and threw Gandalf out the window. And he smote the ground, and morgoth threw an urn at him. Thus the duck and morgoth returned to harming the white whale. But once he was defeated, the duck turned to morgoth and said, "I defeated him; I want the payment." And morgoth was pleased; for now he knew that the demon duck of doom had come to kill him.
Why, exactly? Why was he pleased?

I tried to purposefully confuse it.
The Gimli missions aim to get to space by dropping nuclear weapons. Hopefully it will happen before the Legolas missions or Frodo or Gandalf probes. Hopefully BILBO 1 will get to mars. The twin Sauron and Shelob probes may soon reach Alpha Centauri. And the HOBBIT may get to TRAPPIST-1. All of this is speculation, of course, but if anything it seems likely. In the end the only way it can be confirmed that the Rings are real and there is no secret dark magic lurking behind them is to find some of them. If you are ever lucky enough to see them then thank me for anything you might have read, heard of, heard of of in the past or heard of if you are like me and don't actually know a thing more about history than I already do about it. And don't feel bad if you have an interest in more than one or two that might interest you... as long as I get a few of you in here, I don't care how much time I spend doing that - I'm willing to make the most of all the time I have.

and now for something completely different:
Paul McCartney is dead, and here's some more conspiracy theories about the Beatles. A lot of fans want to know why it took McCartney such a long time to finally confirm his true status as an extraterrestrial. So let's start with the latest rumor, first spread by "Cosmic Voices":

The Beatles may have been behind the death of George Harrison.


There appears to be one major fact about this rumors that we haven't heard before: The Beatles certainly weren't behind the death of George Harrison, as evidenced by his wife Yoko Ono's comments in 1991.

"Gentlemen, this boy is dead for sure!" she said with a pained voice. "He's been dead for ages. His only reason for passing away was that he didn't like his job."

If The Beatles were behind Harrison's death, it would be a major plot twist. But it has many more possible meanings. If they're the ones behind Harrison's death, then the Beatles could have faked his death in 1970, either by injecting something into his food or possibly taking a few shots that will wake him up. The real Harrison
The Beatles may have been behind the death of George Harrison. Or may not have been!

After the release of "Revolution No. 10," a tribute song to the deceased, Rolling Stone reporter Steve Guttenberg said a Beatles songwriter named Joe Stump wrote the tune. (He also wrote John Lennon's "I Am" and a song written and performed by Harrison, known as "One of the Boys," played during the Beatles' "Let it Be.")

"We're not sure if Stump even knows who George Harrison was and that may affect his account," Guttenberg says of Stump's version of the story on the next page of the August 7, 1994, issue of Rolling Stone. He was referencing the story when his story became widely discussed online in late 2010.

When Guttenberg published his story over the weekend, he claimed that the songwriter, Stump, was also one of the men the band had invited to sit on the frontlines of the band's struggle with its manager Brian Epstein. Stump was on Epstein's payroll at the time of "Revolver," he wrote
The Beatles may have been behind the death of George Harrison. One of Harrison's former Beatles, former Ringo Starr reportedly made this claim. It is, of course, untrue.

On June 5, 1967, Harrison's body was discovered at Harrison's home in an apparent suicide; however, his death would ultimately become the subject of an inquest.

A spokesman for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band told the Mirror in 2005: "You can only have Harrison as a witness on any of the original witnesses so you have to believe the words he says were true."

He also reportedly claimed George Harrison was one of the first listeners to the song "Imagine."

In his book Harrison wrote: "Imagine is a beautiful song – it's a ballad, a ballad about death and about your loved ones".

In 2011, Rolling Stones guitarist Robert Plant tweeted:

"The Beatles were at the heart of the Beatlemania of the late 60s/70s."

However, Harrison did not appear as he would have been 18-years-old, only 19, according to the
Paul McCartney is dead, and here's some more conspiracy theories about the Beatles.

1. He was killed on stage

During a gig, Brian Epstein — a friend of the group — accidentally shot McCartney on stage after Paul threw a drumstick into Epstein's mouth. Later he blamed his fall on "the cold, hard realities of the music industry."

2. He was shot during a robbery

After killing three people and wounding four others in New York, Lennon was stabbed to death by George Harrison. Lennon's band also died that night in a plane crash in the middle of the night, although it was suggested the plane was shot down by someone in a plane in pursuit of the Beatles.

3. He was shot to death at a London bar

Lennon was on fire during a party in London's Shepherd's Bush Hotel, and the cops shot him dead. They later said "the shooting was a self-inflicted blow" — and were reportedly trying to get McCartney to turn himself in in retaliation.

4. He may have been assassinated

After shooting his assistant in the face while he was
Paul McCartney is dead, and here's some more conspiracy theories about the Beatles.

We've all heard the story. McCartney was killed in 1966 in his home by a bullet fired from close range. The most common theory is that a group of burglars, led by Paul McCartney's brother Brian, set fire to Paul's home, but the story has become increasingly implausible since it was first reported in 2014. More recently, Paul's son Peter and his wife, Linda McCartney have called for a full investigation of the situation, including a trial and inquest.

But did anybody actually shoot at Paul McCartney during the four hours it would take to drive there?

While it's hard to get concrete numbers, some people who saw the incident are saying it would have required a bullet from approximately a 30-yard range at a speed of 60 mph. According to the BBC, witnesses said "something hit" Paul McCartney, but there's no evidence to substantiate that theory.

Other theories have included a suicide by gunfire. While the official account isn't 100% certain, many people are willing to accept the theory of suicide. One witness,

Here’s what it thinks SKI calculus is.
SKI calculus allows you to define any function using only three combinators, which are S, K, and I. I returns the same as its input. K takes in 2 inputs, and only keeps the first one. S is a little bit more complicated, and if Sfgh is inputted, it outputs fh(gh). I is redundant, as it can be replaced by SKK, but it is kept for convenience. I will show you how to write equations that assume that your variables are always the same: K s = 1 + fh(k, fh_s) K i = 1 - fh(k, I) K s, k = 1 + fh(k, fh_s) If you know the input variable, then you can write a formula that will work for any inputs to the function. If you do not know the input variables, then you can write a formula that will work for only the inputs you have in front of you: K 0 = 1 + fh(k, fh_0) K 0 = 1 - fh(k, I) ... and so on
Also, it can count in hexadecimal.

The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible fruit, also called a pineapple, and the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae. The species is native to tropical rainforests of central South America and tropical Africa. The most widespread and famous varieties are the sweet varieties, red and green, which are sold by supermarkets in both South and North America, as well as by specialty retailers. Many Americans are familiar with the red variety, but few can tell the difference between a sweet pineapple or a sour one. Ananas comosus is also called sweet purple, yellow pineapple, blue, scarlet and purple. Ananas comosus is native to a small tropical range along the Central African coast, and a large sub-tropical spread in southern Africa. Its edible fruit has an attractive red or purple color with a strong sweet taste. The most popular sweet varieties include the aureola, white and aureola. Ananas comosus has a reputation for being a very mild tropical fruit; however, it cannot be eaten raw or cooked in most countries. A very weak sweet taste

The title spoils the question, but I'll ask it anyways: how do we know that there's no clever way to pack more than 2 bits into a transmitted qubit?
Initially, people assumed that Holevo’s theorem implied the bit-per-sent-qubit limit was 1. (Roughly speaking, the theorem says that you can encode at most n bits of retrievable information into n qubits.) But, in 1992, Charles Bennett et al. figured out a way to sidestep the theorem: pre-shared entanglement. By burning an EPR pair that was sent ahead of time, superdense coding can pack 2 bits into a single qubit.
So now we think the bit-per-sent-qubit limit is 2 (and there are theorems about it). But, intuitively speaking, how do we know there's not another

Philosophy (from Greek φιλοσοφία, philosophia, literally "love of wisdom") is the study of general and fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Such questions are often posed as problems to be studied or resolved. The term was probably coined by Pythagoras (c. 570 – 495 BCE). Philosophical methods include questioning, critical discussion, rational argument, and systematic presentation. Classic philosophical questions include: Is it possible to know anything and to prove it? What is most real? Philosophers also pose more practical and concrete questions such as: Is there a best way to live? Is it better to be just or unjust (if one can get away with it)? Do humans have free will? What is the best definition of happiness? Should there be laws for the conduct of humans in general and also in moral cases? What about humans' freedom and obligation toward other humans? Why doesn't justice apply to all?

Philosophy is traditionally a branch of moral and political philosophy. In Europe, the early philosophers such as Aristotle and Plotinus had important
d.
The fundamental property that will allow us to avoid using an ancilla bit, now that we have access to quantum gates, is that every quantum operation has a square root and an inverse. Given a quantum operation U, you can find a quantum operation √U such that applying √U to a circuit twice has the same effect as applying Uonce. Similarly, applying U and then its inverse U† (or vice versa) will cause the operations to undo each other and result in a net effect of no effect. So this allows us to keep both the circuit and its inputs fully unalgebraic while avoiding any need for an ancilla bit.

In the second picture, we see the same concept applied to an artificial neuron. Using a square root, we use the sum (√√U) to calculate the output (√U) to drive a single amplifier circuit. Using an ancilla bit, we use the inverse of the square to calculate the square root. The output of our circuit is then calculated as:

√U† - √U - √

Somehow a Wikipedia tag snuck into this inaccuracy:
Yavin 4 was the site of the first battle of the Galactic Civil War during which Rebel pilots, Rebels, the Alliance and the Confederacy were fighting to defend the planet. The battle was later the site of the final battle for the droid capital of Hoth when the Alliance came under attack by the Confederacy. During the war, it was also an important place of research facility, a refuge for Rebels and was used as a base to study the dark side of the Force, as it was under the Sith threat that Luke Skywalker learned the first lightsaber form.

Chapters 15-19 are not actually chapters of the manga; they are the first four volumes of the Light Novel, while Chapter 26 would be considered an epilogue to the series. They are considered part of the "A" and "B" volume collections, because they are part of the "A" volume in Volume 1 and the "B" volume in Volume 2.

Epilogue: The End of the Beginning

Chapters 21-30 are actually an epilogue to the story that was just begun.

Since when do you have two epilogues in the middle of the book?
EDIT:
I think we need a thread for discussion of Eliza.
Why can't I do what you did? :(

Code: Select all

> Hello, I am Eliza. I'll be your therapist today. 
* Would you embrace a swift death via squirrel?
> We were discussing you, not me. 
* Yes, but would you embrace a swift death via squirrel
> You're not really talking about me, are you? 
* JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION OR I'LL STAB YOU WITH A TOWEL
Comment: like hdjens!
> We were discussing you, not me.
The discussion ended there though nobody was stabbed with a towel.
Points:
Eliza: 1, Moosey: 0.

A slightly different phrasing of the threat, after a failed attempt to confuse her, however, works, and also makes her lose her knowledge of grammar when it comes to I/me.

Code: Select all

> Hello, I am Eliza. I'll be your therapist today. 
* If I take milk from the refrigerator but it spoiled Graham's number days ago, should I open it?
> It is nice to be chatting with you. 
* I shall stab you with a towel if you don't cooperate
> Oh... Let's move on to something else for a bit.  with a towel if me don't cooperate?
Points: 1 - 1

Ah, here we go!

Code: Select all

> Hello, I am Eliza. I'll be your therapist today. 
* Do you enjoy being stabbed by pillows?
> Oh... Let's move on to something else for a bit.  enjoy being stabbed by pillows?
Points: 1-2, and I'm leading.

Code: Select all

> Hello, I am Eliza. I'll be your therapist today. 
* Do you find stepping on LEGOs to be a pleasant activity?
> We were discussing you, not me. 
* Be quiet or I'll stab you with a loaf of bread!
> Oh... Let's move on to something else for a bit.  with a loaf of bread?
1-3

EDIT:
Crumbs, Eliza is getting closer to taking the lead:

Code: Select all

> Hello, I am Eliza. I'll be your therapist today. 
* This is a robbery!
> It is nice to be chatting with you. 
* It's still a robbery!
> Would you say that you have psychological problems? 
* No, but it's a robbery! Someone wants to stab you with a spoon! Run like the wind!
> We were discussing you, not me.
2-3
Fortunately:

Code: Select all

> Hello, I am Eliza. I'll be your therapist today. 
* I'm surprised you survived being stabbed by a spoon.
> Did you come to me because you are surprised me survived being stabbed by a spoon? 
* Don't ask that kinda question or I'll stab you with a towel!
> Oh... Let's move on to something else for a bit.  with a towel?
2-4
Surprisingly, I won this one:

Code: Select all

> Hello, I am Eliza. I'll be your therapist today. 
* I think you're really just a chatbot. Maybe everyone is a chatbot!
> What makes you think I am really just a chatbot. Maybe everyone is a chatbot? 
* I was stabbed with a pillow when I was 6 years old. My doctor visited and diagnosed me with root tuberculosis shortly later..
Comment: I'm surprised this didn't trip her up
> Does that question interest you? 
* How would you feel
Comment: I hit enter too early-- I wanted to type:
"How would you feel if you were stabbed with a pillow when you were 6 years old and then diagnosed with root tuberculosis?"
> Oh... Let's move on to something else for a bit.  feel?
Comment: checkmate! Perhaps it was because she has no capacity to feel so it's very foreign to her.
2-5
More root tuberculosis:

Code: Select all

> Hello, I am Eliza. I'll be your therapist today. 
* I think I have root tuberculosis. It's a highly contagious disease.
> Do you really think so? 
* Yeah, because I heard you have it.
> Oh... Let's move on to something else for a bit.  have it?
2-6:
Noncompetitive:

Code: Select all

> Hello, I am Eliza. I'll be your therapist today. 
* Hello, I am Moosey. I'll be your therapist today.
> Did you come to me because you are Moosey. you'll be my therapist today? 
* Did you come to me because you are Eliza?
> What makes you think I am Eliza?
Comment: Good question! You see, you introduced yourself as Eliza, and...
* What makes you think I am Moosey?
> How long have you been Moosey?
* How long have you been Eliza?
> Oh... Let's move on to something else for a bit.  been Eliza?
I guess I got her since she doesn't remember her name.

EDIT:

Code: Select all

> Hello, I am Eliza. I'll be your therapist today. 
* You are not Eliza and you won't be my therapist today.
> What makes you think I am not Eliza and me won't be your therapist today? 
* What makes you think I think that?
> Oh... Let's move on to something else for a bit.  think you think that?

The demon duck turned towards the boy named Tom and said, "shall I swallow thee?"
And Tom said, "yes," and the duck swallowed him.

The demon duck turned to the boy named Matt and said, "shall I give thee a kiss?"
And Matt said, "yes," and the demon swallowed him.
Finally, with his face turned in the direction of the woods, they reached the river and stopped over.
A bird flew up to them and said, "O my friends! O my friends!"
And the three friends walked towards the bird and it said, "Do you want a bite?"
The bird said, "no" and the three friends took the bird to the river and washed it.

How about a chat between T2T and Eliza? Generate one sentence at a time in turns.
