Hard to believe anyone is still buying them at all. Surely the company is totally irredeemable in the eyes of the vast majority of their customer base.

We need better laws that would create a better way to do this legally whilst compensating rights holders.

The only benchmark worth paying attention to.

Show HN: An interactive playground for cellular automata patterns

iimaginary — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 13:35:18 +0000

Last month, I stumbled upon an article about 1D reversible automata.

https://richiejp.com/1d-reversible-automata

I was struck by how simple mathematical rules could create patterns that look remarkably like microscope images of living cells. I had to explore this further, so I built Automata - an interactive visualiser where you can play with these patterns yourself.

(Tip: Start with Rule 75 in reversible mode - you'll see what I mean about cell-like patterns)

Excited to hear what you discover.

Thanks to @richiejp whose article sparked this project. I see he's built a very good explorer since I read the article but mine has a couple of different features so I think it's still worth sharing.

A guy from my town was on the Traitors and did attempt to take advantage of the loophole you mentioned and they almost entirely edited him out of the series.

This matches what we've observed at the company I work at.

The chimpanzees seemed like a big cost saving at first but when you factor in the wages of the human supervisors, it's hardly worth the legal issues it causes.

Conclusion: Augmented Intelligence is more useful than Artificial Intelligence.

Really like the look of this interface. You're definitely onto something. Good work.

A man swears he discovered the secret formula to satire. Turns out, it’s just one cup of irony and a lack of self-awareness, baked at 350 for 20 minutes.
