Anyone want to do a manual double-check and see if the script is failing to count something properly?

... Interesting that third and fourth place -- both described as "one of the final two periods in the proof that Life is omniperiodic" -- were just one vote apart, even though multiple people weighted them differently or voted for one but not the other.

Thanks! No discrepancies in the top ten, anyway, except that ninth place is showing up as 74 instead of the script's 75. That doesn't change the ordering, but it will be worth triple-checking that to see if the script went wrong or the count went wrong.

EDIT: I checked the rest of the semi-manual asterisk counts. The engineered-diehards count was the only discrepancy (a mistake with the script's input data, now corrected above -- the correct count was 74).

My manual check gives this :

#14 = 88 : Cribbage
#15 = 87 : p41 dependent reflector loop
#13 = 84 : (34,7)c/156 Caterpillar
#24 = 78 : Snark64
#26 = 76 : Stable Storage Spaceship
#09 = 76 : New oscillator discoveries
#21 = 74 : Ultra long-lived Engineered diehards
#23 = 73 : HBK caterpillar
#25 = 67 : G-to-LWSS
#32 = 66 : Galumpher
#17 = 64 : Period-41 glider guns
#33 = 62 : New c/4 diagonal technology
#10 = 59 : New small guns
#02 = 57 : p24 gliderless LWSS gun
#28 = 56 : Odd traffic stop

#20 = 55 : Glider-to-chaos converter
#30 = 54 : c/3 against-the-grain greyships

Looks good -- you agree with confocaloid's count on everything, and the script's count on everything except for #21. The script reported these counts for #21:

Code: Select all

075, #21, 3, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1, 3, 3
It looks like the first "1" was maybe removed in a last-day edit by WhiteHawk. I had fed what I thought was a safe September copy of the votes into the script, but it seems like I must have ended up getting a cached copy of the first page source HTML somehow.

3+2+2+2+3+3+3+2+1+1+2+3+3+2+2+2+3+3+3+1+2+1+2+2+2+3+3+3+3+1+3+3 = 74, and I've been through all 32 posts with a vote for #21 and confirmed that I can see where the script got each one of those numbers from.

Have patched up the above lists with the re-done script count. Looks like we've got a three-way agreement now, and the script still seems to be working well (if it gets the right data).

In fact, it's semi-manual check.

I manually copy and paste all the votes in a file.
I've taken particular care in selecting each message.
In the header of this file I've copied the "num + description of pattern" list.
Then I applied this little counting bash script (it's a gawk script launched in a bash shell) :

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

gawk 'BEGIN{PROCINFO["sorted_in"] = "@val_num_desc"}
{
    if (NR>34) {
        t[$1] += length($2)
    }else{
        n = $1
        sub($1, "")
        N[n] = $0
    }
}
END{
    for (i in t){
        printf("%s = %d   :   %s\n", i, t[i], N[i])
    }
}' "$1"
The file :

Code: Select all

#02 p24 gliderless LWSS gun
#03 (2,1)c/6 knightship tagalong
#04 Charity's p25

It looks like the first "1" was maybe removed in a last-day edit by WhiteHawk.
Yeah. Sorry about that.
Currently working to improve Life's guns and work on updating SKOPs and Isotropic rules most similar to B3/S23 to Life standards. Will get software to begin searches eventually.

This is the voting thread for the 2023 Pattern of the Year competition. Voting will end at the end of August, 2024 anywhere on Earth. This means that you can still vote for the Pattern of the Year as long as it's still August where you live.

Here is the list of entries …
There are no (contra)indications for editing your vote in the allotted time …

Yup, sorry, that wasn't intended as a complaint.

It's just good to make sure that the script is reliable, and be really careful to track down any discrepancies and figure out exactly what caused them, so that we can continue to trust the script. (Or at least trust-but-verify it.)

Just a question: Who voted most similarly to each other, and who voted most differently from each other?

I remember Macbi doing us such a search - it would be lovely to find out.
