Depends when you took it. The endosymbiotic origin theory has links being worked out well into the 2000s. https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/the-origin-of-mito...

I'd be shocked if this isn't done already? It was a plot device in the Ben Affleck bank robbery movie where they foiled the police DNA swabs with hair clippings from the barber shop.

You may lose some potential audience with this kind of comment, saying AI content is the future is a non-sequitur to an idea about offsetting the very real time-wasting quality issues that it yields for the near future. The printing press a

DDT in very particular situations has also been a net positive. It's really the widespread indiscriminate use of it in nature areas and dumping it by the ton into municipal sewers that caused the terrible ecological outcomes. Similarly

I agree with all of that and my point still stands. Older people, for which frailty and maintenance of lean muscle mass are real concerns, tend to get suboptimal protein, and they aren't supplementing with whey en masse. Bodybuilders a

Sure it is totally possible, but for most people it will take concerted effort. Most aging people at a relatively healthy weight don't get an optional proportion of protein in their diet, reducing the number of meals makes it only more

This is great. I've seen many discussions of efficiency in R in stats and biology circles over the years but I think this is the first time I've seen something as simple as copy-on-write and treating dataframe columns as individua

I loved reading this. One bug -the pattern that p11 links to is missing two live cells on the bottom still life, thus doesn't oscillate. The image of it in the pdf appears to be he correct pattern though. https://conwaylife.

The p19 in the paper is 31x21, but let it be 19x19. That's 361 cells, so 4.7x10^108 'soups' to search. The paper details the evolution of search methods. Brute force-ish methods were responsible for discovery of some lower pe

No, because increasing the width or height of this loop by one cell increases the period by one. https://conwaylife.com/?rle=36b2o$35bobo$29b2o4bo$27bo2bo2b2...

You don't want a clunky TM, in GOL terms just a 'signal conduit' with a reasonably short delay on the reflectors so the periodicity can be reduced.

So if you know how to construct the missing oscillator, great, you can simulate it in GoL run on your GoL-TM (just slower than if you do it on hardware). That doesn't help discovering the unknown oscillator. As an aside, years into the

In other words, Turing completeness is enough to simulate GoL within GoL, but says nothing about the existence of the p41 oscillator

Yeah unfortunately the conjunctions just aren't commutative in the game of strongy-weaky.
