Another cool feature of conway's game of life is that it doesn't expand in a disorganized manner, nor does it die out really fast. Rather, it has just the right balance between life and death to make it incredably interesting and chaotic. In fact it is just this chaos which gives it its name, as when John COnway came up with it, he said it was so unpredictable and complicated, only life could match it in those categories.
THis pattern is from something called John Conway's game of life for anyone whom is interested in knowing, (I would suggest doing some research into that, as it is a very interesting "game") What makes it so noteworthy is the fact that, while most unorganized initial pattterns tend to evolve chaotically, sometimes they organize themselves into moving patterns which endlessly traverse the field, (such as the little shapes, which are actually called gliders, that this video mentioned.)
A REPLICATOR?!? A REAL REPLICATOR?!? ARE U SERIOUS?! WOW!!!!!..................... wait, is that a good thing? have these guys seen stargate at all? no, nevermind... i dont think these ones can make themselves out of just anything. or kill people.
After clicking the link in the description and reading it, I've come to the conclusion that this video doesn't explain well enough how significant this discovery is.
NewScientists is stupid. This isn't a self replicating pattern- it's a glider. HighLife has a self replicating simple pattern but it's impossible for it to evolve since the environment of all life games doesn't allow simple small incremental changes to improve. Stupid sensationalist news.
This is really nothing new, except maybe that it uses a glider tape. It just destroys the pattern and recreates it elsewhere... that's a "spaceship", in Game of Life terms, and there are lots of them. Unless I'm missing something, in which case, someone please tell me.
So I've downloaded Golly just to see this for myself and I'm still utterly confused. What exactly is the meaning/purpose of this discovery? What can it be used for?
Sorry for acting spoiled, I'm used to NewScientist videos answering a question like that.
No offense to anyone here, but as an enduser and not a programmer, I have seen CGI in movies that have random movement of individual characters during massive battlescenes which is pretty cool, so a computer program that self replicates sticks doesn't seem all that big a deal. Neither the video nor the article explains why this is a programming breakthrough.
Science is not about fulfilling your visual demandings by Hollywood-shitfest animations so if you can't accept that small steps are those which matter then why don't you just shut the fuck up.
this is marvelous! imagine the possibilities, self repairing/recontruction.
when a way is introduced to stop the replication one simple block of molecule can build you a house, repair your damaged car, basically everything around us.
self replicating nanobots would boost biomedical science up sky high
arent self replicating machines/programs/whatever useless? because if a machines replicates itself then the only thing the machine which got replicated can do is replicating itself again lol but maybe it could do other thing if you can program it
This would have been interesting but it was only confusing. At first I thought it was a physical thing, I had to read the description to see it's a programming construct. That lack of explanation as to where it takes place and why it is important make this a very bad video.
It's a freeware program called 'Golly' which uses the rules of "Conway's LIFE" to self-organize dots. 3 dots around a space means birth, less than 2 or more than 3 means death (suffocation or neglect) and 2 dots means mere survival.
Anyways, a human has set the starting conditions, and this machine has emerged.
If they are going to create and publish a video, it should have some self-contained informational value so that people who see it can at least say that they know what it was about. Of course anyone who wants to learn MORE should follow the link, but the video should stand on its own. They should have started with a zoomed in view of the Game of Life and a couple sentences about the simple patterns that it follows, so the uninitiated can at least appreciate it without having to research it.
(this clip has been cut out of a longer one which is a paid video. which is probably why it's so unclear.)
This is a computer program. The program is a graphical demonstration of a shape, when two of the same program are linked together they communicate without human interference and self-replicate. Which practically means artificial intelligence.
@blue30587 So true. I love how they described gliders as tiny shapes that travel in rows, which is probably the worst description I have ever heard. And, if you don't know this already (you being anyone who reads this, not you personally), gemini is not a replicator so the video is a lie
@melis256 its not the end of the world if they put up a boring video every once in a while, sometimes science doesn't advance as much as fucktards like you want.
n1ce.. does someone know how long it takes to compute the 34 million generations on conventional computers? or is the program so optimized that it is no problem (i.e. lookup tables for already known patterns with some kind of multisampling of the grid to estimate collisions) ?
@MadCatMk254 It's a pattern from something called john conway's game of life, which is a form of cellular automata. (yes I know that probably doesn't help much but at least that gives you a starting point of what it is, since the video completely failed to explain it) Truth be told, that pattern they displayed doesn't replicate, it just moves across space and repeats the same number of cells and the same arrangement of them.
@zx1011 Good point; they should have just shown a still image of the link for 37 seconds because we morons shouldn't expect a meaningful video on youtube.
@zx1011 And you understood this? Just merely from watching the video you knew what was occurring? Well that is in all likelihood because you are a fucking liar and heard about it before you even watched the video. Otherwise only someone very familiar with the information could understand it... Which in any case, wouldn't make the person who doesn't understand it an idiot. But then again I wouldn't expect you to know that.
@zx1011 please dont try to act smart now. theres alot of other interesting stuff on their channel. you couldnt possibly deny that the "Surgical 'tube robot'" is easier to understand than this, just as an example
Yeah, that was a god awful explanation of why anyone should find this interesting.
The wikipedia article would be a good start for anyone who wants to pretend to care- Youtube won't let me post the link but find the Wikipedia page for " Conway's_Game_of_Life "
For a space that is 'populated': Each cell with one or no neighbors dies, as if by loneliness. Each cell with four or more neighbors dies, as if by overpopulation. Each cell with two or three neighbors survives.
For a space that is 'empty' or 'unpopulated' Each cell with three neighbors becomes populated.
Weren't you listening, people? They clearly stated that this is a simulation of a thing that's replicating with signals from rows of dots! How could they be any clearer?
Look, New Scientist deliberately withold information from these videos so that they can charge you for their online content on their website. What they don't seem to realise is that only idiots pay to go on their website. Anyone with half a brain will find the same informaion elsewhere for free.
Actually, i think i might unsub from this channel. It stinks.
The video itself doesn't even say that it's in the Game of Life. "An 'instruction tape,' made of tiny shapes that travel in rows." It's all anthropomorphized to the point of incoherence. I'd gladly watch a longer video that had more details; I'm close to unsubscribing from these short videos, full of fluff, which barely even address the science.
I'm sorry..but that was the lamest explanation of whatever you were trying to explain in the video ever..like seriously..doesn't really mean anything.
Yeah, this looks like conway's life. Bunch of glider guns... it may be self-replicating, but without knowing what started it (chaos or programmer) it's difficult to care about.
I believe that they're trying to show that this self-replicating feature happening unintended in a game simulation is similar to how DNA is an unintended, self-replicating feature stumbled upon within the rules and bounds of the physics and chemistry of our universe.
This video makes no sense. I shouldn't have to follow a link to understand it, because that just makes the video pointless. Why is it replicating? what is it replicating? What IS it? EXPLAIN.
These newscientist vids are feckin head wrecking for feck sake could they not even take ten mins to explain a bit more about the subject, these vids are all the same just annoying teasers
@PaXx thank you! i really did think i was high or something. im just gld i wasnt the only person confused about this. they really need to let the people watching(the average person, like me) know what theyre talking about just like you did. that one sentence you had would have been more than enough in the description box. these videos are a little hit and miss with me cause it is sometimes far above my head logically. i think i just said i was stupid! lol
The real fun starts when u create this in real life... A self replicating nanoid, that transform any matter (on a molecular level) around it, as a replica of itself. Replicating every last atom of planet earth... :(
Why is anyone searching for videos related to "Self-replicator" if they have no clue what significance it has or where/how it exists.

This video was basically a definition of self-replication accompanied by laggy video material of dots forming a line.

@PaXx thank you! i really did think i was high or something. im just gld i wasnt the only person confused about this. they really need to let the people watching(the average person, like me) know what theyre talking about just like you did. that one sentence you had would have been more than enough in the description box. these videos are a little hit and miss with me cause it is sometimes far above my head logically. i think i just said i was stupid! lol

The real fun starts when u create this in real life... A self replicating nanoid, that transform any matter (on a molecular level) around it, as a replica of itself. Replicating every last atom of planet earth... :(
It will happen in the year 2012 LOL!!!!
