What's really amazing is that you can run Life patterns using Golly for such absurdly high numbers of cycles to make this possible. The Pi calculator produces its first digit only after running for 1E10 generations, which is a staggering number of cycles. Hashlife is indeed a very cool algorithm.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
