Does anyone know of any Cellular Automaton books or articles for the absolute beginner, assuming they only know Trigonometry? I've built a http://ozramos.com/blog/first-try-terrajs but they're completely naive.

I have a week off before school starts and would love to spend it learning this stuff. Here are the sources I know about:
  1. A New Kind of Science
  2. http://uncomp.uwe.ac.uk/genaro/Cellular_Automata_Repository/Books.html, but it doesn't really help me with choosing one
  3. The Life Wiki
  4. Reddit
There's a lot of sources out there, but for someone with absolutely no training, it's a little intimidating!

Thanks I've added it to my list. I think I'm just going to start with A New Kind of Science and branch out from there. Thanks again!

Blender just recently dropped a new version, 4.5(with 5.0 on the horizon), and within it was a new feature for which I immediately thought of a use for. The new feature was a .csv importer for Geometry nodes. Geometry nodes are a method of modelling that uses a node tree to create 3D models which offers more flexibility than straight modeling does. The .csv importer node allows you to bring in a .csv file and use the data in it to control aspects of your model. So for example, if you...

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
