Doesn't seem like too big of a surprise -- higher bit counts seem to appear according to a fairly predictable power law. There's a big bias toward even-bit-count still lifes, but a 33-bitter was still by far the most likely odd-bit-count still life to appear next in the b3s23/C1 search results.Scorbie wrote:Huh, Impressive to see that an odd-high-bit-count still life occured (as opposed to what dvgrn expected)!
Yeah, I vote for 'long Aries betwixt two blocks'....or something like Long Aries betwist two blocks?
I'm not sure why the bold italic 'what' followed by an interrobang was necessary; it seems well overdue based on the bell-shaped distribution of still life counts on http://catagolue.appspot.com/statistics. (By the way, if you hadn't already noticed, the columns are now hyperlinked to the relevant census pages.)Freywa wrote:What?!A for awesome wrote:It appears that there is a 33-cell still life that has shown up on Catagolue; here is the soup:

Well if you remember we had discussions on what to name a similar object some days ago. I am convinced my clef notation is better suited for the occasion; it handles a larger family of still lifes and uses no obscure words at all.calcyman wrote:I'm not sure why the bold italic 'what' followed by an interrobang was necessary; it seems well overdue...
Whoops! I remembered wrong. And yeah, I'm also pretty sure that the still life counts are not likely to become continuous again.dvgrn wrote:The only other prediction I recall making was that we'd never again see a continuous range of bit counts from xs4 to xsN, once the relatively common xs40 appeared.
Oh, now I get it!! (gasp) I think Alexey should buy stocks.Freywa wrote:Well if you remember we had discussions on what to name a similar object some days ago.calcyman wrote:I'm not sure why the bold italic 'what' followed by an interrobang was necessary; it seems well overdue...
I'm okay with the clef notation, but note that all the clefs (or aries(plural) or ph... never mind.) are of different sizes, so we can go with short, long and long long aries betwixt two blocks.Freywa wrote:I am convinced my clef notation is better suited for the occasion; it handles a larger family of still lifes and uses no obscure words at all.
Beehive with tails are the 47th most common object in Life. They occur in about one in 40000 16 by 16 soups (and probably have about the same frequency in 4-fold symmetrical 32 by 32 soups). As far as I know, the minimum synthesis for a beehive with tail is four gliders, but that might get reduced to three if it hasn't been already.NoLongerBreathedIn wrote:In an apgsearch run on my laptop, I found a beehive-with-tail. I'm not sure how common this is.
OTOH, I was actually looking at my computer screen when it showed up. (It runs slow, about 175 soups/s, on my laptop.) The haul should be up in a few hours; I'm only at 190K soups out of 5M. Seed Mu2rKpejz5wU, symmetry C4_4.
I hope this'll help in syringe glider-construction.
EDIT (not five minutes later): I just saw a short slow-salvo construction of beehive-with-tail; this still might improve that construction.
