I love how berd's writing gets messier and messier with each one

If you want to reinvent something new (?) I made, I programmed a 1D asynchronous cellular automaton where each cell was looking into a large spatio-temporal neighborhood, tried to understand the rules followed by the cells, and applying the rule it discovered to itself. Each cell was trying to be coherent with their neighbors, but it did produce very interesting and incoherent results!

@@TodePond CAs are some of my first programming loves, along with Mandelbrot sets ;-) As a teenager, I played with some rules (such as the sandpile algo or thermodynamic ones) and ended up with a master thesis on Lattice Gas Cellular Automata (FHP3 type) to simulate fluid flows. It is good (tm) to have a lot of "culture" about all the types of CAs out there, their working, their behaviours and properties, and your video is a nice overview ! I wish it was longer though ;-)

The first life that you show is just a rotated GoL, and the slider is a glider rotated 45 degrees. In fact, your system should allow a mix of 2 different versions of GoL that don't interact, as each cell won't interact with it's direct neighbors

I think this is a really good way to show how a lot of communities will scrutinize people for making things just because someone else made them too, and how it affects the makers and influences them to give up on creation. Really good video!

Ngl, when I started watching this video, I felt like the commentary was really slow and awkward, but I quickly found it to be really entertaining with the music, visuals, and overall feeling. I don't know if the intention was to tell a story that felt like art, but that's what it felt like. This video feels like a piece of art and I don't know how to explain it properly. I felt like I was taken on a trip through the mind of a programmer just trying to create something and push through the crowd.

After 23 years on this earth and approximately half of them spent on the internet, I didn't think I would ever discover a whole new "type" of video to fall in love with. Of course the animations and the narration are superb, but what really prompted me to write this comment is this feeling of unearthing something completely new. This feels like a weird mix of slam poetry, meditation and nerdy math stuff. Maybe this was a bit more noticeable for me because I already did a lot of automata stuff myself and felt like I already knew a bit about the topic itself, but wow, this was an awesome watch. Inspiring creativity.

With your first one that is basically GoL with a Ferz-Dabbaba neighborhood, I thought of an interesting idea: fairychess GoL. Every piece has a state. That state is defined by a combination of elementary leapers. Since we're using the birth/survival rules of GoL, each piece has exactly three parents. Surviving squares do not change their state. But newborn squares combine the states used by their parents to create them, with finite range states taking precedence over infinite range states.

This is one of the most charming things I've seen in a long time. I love this so much. Instant subscription. The small tweaks you made to each of the systems was delightful, and it was fun seeing how the variations resulted in different yet very similar outputs. Absolutely delightful!~

This is such a unique niche you got here. Something like "somewhat creepy, uneasy mathematics and programming". This bird character you're playing is perfect, and the voice is so machine like and uneasy I love it. Please make more videos like this I've subscribed!!!

Thankfully youtube recommended me this channel. The quality of the content is something unique and I like the approach very much. If I may say, your voice might be a little too "unfiltered" (if thats a good word to describe it) but that doesn't really distract or bug me. Keep it up!

As a cellular automata enjoyer myself, I loved the presentation, it is like a guessing game for cellular automata nerds. It was also real fun that you just change one smart little thing for each of them and explain like it's nothing lol.

I am impressed at how well this held my attention and how much I was laughing at you crossing everything out. Amazing video.

I think that so much has already been done before, but coding something up yourself can be extremely fun. You can also put your own spin on things, such as a slightly different visualization or a few tweaks or generalizations, and I think that can add real value. In any case, I appreciated the stuff you did in this video, and I hope you keep doing more things like it!

I really admire your channel. You have such a unique touch thats very funny and heart warming. It's great to see so much personality in a nerd video like this, with some really good high level explanations as well. This video is my favourite and I really like the commentary on ~being unique~ Edit: I need to edit this because I don't like my intial phrasing. To me, this video showcases not the issue with individuality but the issue with seeing uniqueness as being inherently competitive. Thinking that an idea can only have value when it comes from the first people. But ideas don't originate from single people but are instead a product of multiple people synthesizing together. They are even a product of society at large, as these ideas could only be made given their education. And this education could only have happened given the hard manual labour of the gentle worker, keepnig the academics in their chair! And so while ideas are a product of society at large, so too do they belong to society at large. Patents and the concept of plagiarism only stagnates the creative process of the collective and we are much better off without them. The only difference between you and them is that they came first, they had material wealth to materialize their ideas, and they had an academic background to get outreach. These are not good reasons to stagnate the progress of ideas.
