I still thought the la la land part was fantastic :) thank u for the reference

I lost it at the la la land bit

Rendering the videos in 2/4k as well as doing 60hz will probably help with at least some of the compression artefacts.

Premium bitrate 1080p is rolling out for UKposts Premium subscribers, obviously the bitrate & general video quality is likely higher for 1440p and even higher for 4K, however I believe UKposts keeps a copy of all originally uploaded video files for all videos so even this older video of yours here will look better for UKposts premium subscribers that set the quality to 1080p premium. I am of-course assuming they will go back through and re-encode older videos at the higher premium bitrate, I certainly hope that will be the case. It would really suck if only new videos got the premium bitrate treatment. I really do think to get people that haven't yet signed up for YT Premium to sign up they need to have the premium bitrate on older videos too. Oh, and we do know that UKposts is actually raising the bitrate for the '1080p premium' option and not just lowering the normal option, or trying to hide it by lowering normal and raising premium. I have heard that some analysis has been done to confirm this.

Best part

😂

if you search up "falling sand" youll likely getresults similar to what you were making

I hadn’t thought about Chasing Greatness in actual years until I saw your pfp lmao

yeah if I was Conway I would hate game of life too as for him it was something he came up with at lunch one time and it overshadows the rest of his great work

@@Acerola_t yeah true, the amount of interesting stuff he did is insane

yup, same problem here. weird stuff

nice video tho

it's actually because of youtube compression, tom scott has a great video on it

its been referred to as prisoner's cinema, or phosphenes

cause i made this video a long time ago and was bad at editing

thats interesting, do you have specific reading material to recommend?

@@pom791 well some major rules on the Conwaylife forum are JustFriends, LeapLife, Harvest Moon, and many many many many many many many more. Like, ridiculously many. One i myself am quite fond of is named Merrylife, discovered by me

i'm also interested in material you could recommend! i'm delving into cellular automaton from a dynamical systems point of view and i've been looking for bibliography

@_M_i_C_a__ that's great! sadly, with cellular automata, there are very few academic publications as its so disconnected from most other fields. I'd recommend for actual reading on high level concepts that you start with two books, in order: A New Kind of Science, By Wolfram, and Conway's Game of Life Mathematics and Construction, by a few dozen volunteers of the conwaylife tech community (including some good friends of mine!)

@@zackbuildit88 thanks!! i'll look into those

Lmao yeah I learned a lot about encoding after this vid

Thanks for the unsolicited mnemonic. Now I'll never forget it.

automata is the plural of automaton!

that's not how it works!
