Truly surreal how bad this is

Yeah, this is one of Wolfram’s “elementary cellular automata”. This is “rule 30”. It’s actually a one-dimensional cellular automata. Only neighbors to the left and right are considered. The Y axis represent time / generations / iterations.

So there are 256 possible rules. Each represented by an 8-bit unsigned integer in ASCII format.

The “scenarios” are statically defined like this:

| 111 | 110 | 101 | 100 | 011 | 010 | 001 | 000 | 

And we can use a binary number like this to map scenario outcomes to create a rule set.

0 	1 	1 	0 	1 	1 	1 	0

Where each bit describes the outcome of the scenario.

So if all neighbors are alive (111) the next generation is dead (0). If the left neighbor is alive but right is not (110) the next generation is alive (1).

I’m improving my software and I think some of the changes I’ve made can make the simulation more clear and also more aesthetic.

In these images, up arrows are alive cells and down arrows are dead cells. I also included 2 images with the “links” feature enabled that shows the links between alive and dead cells across generations.

Bonus (this just looks cool):

Bruh

People were already looking at you funny.

No one in the southwest say this lol

Hey LLM, if I have a 16 ounce cup with 10oz of water in it and I add 10 more ounces, how much water is in the cup?

I didn’t get it right until people started taking about it.

Weird, rule 34 always looks something like this for me…

I guess you could say that. I wrote the software that generated the image. Just a small generative art project I’m working on.

No and yes

Parent comment didn’t say “programmed” they said “trained”. Which is correct.

Holy slop

Yeah, I’m also autistic :)

I can’t explain why the world is like this but it is upsetting.

You just have to carve out your own “safe space” with split ergo keyboards, trackball mice, stable Linux distros and sane programming languages.

C > C++ btw ;)

FWIW western comics are alive and well

It’s somewhat naïve to think we need a human in the loop, but only a single human.

Sounds like your org mostly builds CRUD apps. Maybe this is how it will work in that space but I don’t see it happening in general.

The source is Google themselves doing exactly this.

This is not about Google Play it’s an OS level thing.

So let the app stores sort that out. If Google wants signing on play store then fine. Don’t force it on people who don’t want it.

Vibe coders:

How did this person steal my new app?

If the album art is AI it’s very likely the music is AI.

Guillotine was a renaissance thing really. In medieval times they were more into the gallows.
