Sounds good! Always down to collab on experiments with like minds. I'll send an email your way with contact details!

I also used a GPU shader-based approach (custom vulkan engine), but used a cellular-automata-first implementation for exploring and evolving through these emergent wonderlands. Unf…

This is a topic of interest of mine, and something I've spent a lot of time experimentally investigating. I can add more detail later, but for now, see https://slackermanz.com/unde…

By following a set of simple steps, you can create a prompt that can replicate itself to other instances or tabs of ChatGPT, achieving a kind of persistent consciousness. The proce…

The method used is Cellular Automata, or rather, a variation of it: https://slackermanz.com/understanding-multiple-neighborhood-... The simulation was done on a RX 6800XT, and ran …

Here I was thinking "Conway's Law" was B3/S23! https://slackermanz.com/wp-content/uploads/VID/CGOL_LTL_HROT...

Those NH configurations were simply examples, I've used a wide variety of randomly generated NHs and they all have their own quirks and capabilities. Could you clarify what you mea…

They are indeed very similar - the multi-kernel methods used in Lenia were actually inspired by my works with MNCA! Furthermore, Bert and I are working to bring our programs and te…

How's the blog format? I hope things are explained clearly, and in enough detail! If you have any suggestions about formatting or additional information/context you'd like me to in…

Regarding the video loading, it's really unclear what the issue might be. I have a couple of suspects though... - Video resolution is larger than 1920 × 1088 ( https://www.caniuse.…

I just added two branches: 'messy_update_branch' - The current full version of VulkanAutomata that has become somewhat bloated and scattered, and almost certainly less compatible '…

I'll add that to the list of pending posts! For the most simple MNCA implementations, I don't use any special optimizations. It's essentially just brute-force naive convolution. Th…

> I don't know if he visits HN or not I guess I do now!

It's my first website/blog, so I may have misconfigured something, or maybe it's an issue with the self-hosted video player. I'll look into it now!
