There might be some problems with the extra range of the calibrated skulk though

Fix it by funneling the imput sound only on the starter, so it doesn't spread. The delay should be long enough that the sound can't make it back because of the wool blocks between sensors.

I wonder if you could use the difference in delays for other computations

They also have extra range which could help with transmission speeds

​@@PotatoSofiHello there fellow potato :D

Ah, mercury as a storage solution. (literally.) Because everything had to contain mercury back then.

Than air? Sound moves faster in mercury than air. Did you mean something else?

@@Ivan.Wright Seems like a small mistake. Reason for mercury from Wikipedia: `Mercury was used because its acoustic impedance is close to that of the piezoelectric quartz crystals; this minimized the energy loss and the echoes when the signal was transmitted from crystal to medium and back again. The high speed of sound in mercury (1450 m/s) meant that the time needed to wait for a pulse to arrive at the receiving end was less than it would have been with a slower medium, such as air (343.2 m/s)`

@@Positroni I appreciate you providing more clarification. I suppose he meant the wait time was lower rather than speed then. Those kind of mixups suck, they're easy to make but they can cause the biggest problems, like reversing positive and negative on a circuit 💥😭

​@@caspermadlener4191Did you try copying them or something? Slightly confused on what you're trying to say here.

@@nikkiofthevalley Oh, they showed up like squares, but it is fixed now.

At the same time... What he's done here can be made with maybe 4 logic gates and some repeaters. It would also be 5x smaller and probably somewhere around 5x to 10x faster.

I'm still working on a lot of projects. But they're mostly for school so it's gonna be harder to translate some of them into Minecraft content.

The triangles are actually a common pattern in most elementary cellular automata. They even come up in cellular automata that simulate integer multiplication (i.e. you can think of the first line of the triangle as a long row of zeros that takes a few multiplications to fill in)

the triangles are mostly just what happens when a line of cells gets smaller over time, but sierpinski triangles do show up in some cellular automata, such as rule 60!

what no it doesnt. it doesnt even go in the right direction

@@brickie9816 I mean, it did remind me of the Matrix as well, sure it might not be an exact replica. I can see the similarity CraftyMasterman is getting at.

Looks more like a Sierpiński triangle.

Hi Crafty!

the wires are sound tho, it doesn't really travel in a line, just in a 20 block radius around the sculk sensor

​@@witha1can't you use wool to "funnel" the sound to another skulk sensor?

They were avoided for 2 reasons: 1) because they pick up sound from further away, the wires would have had to be built farther apart or with more insulation and 2) the wires were actually designed to be slow on purpose since this allows more compact data storage.

rule 110 is a cellular automaton, kind of like a 1d version of Conway's Game of Life, if you're familiar with that (and if you're not, I'd definitely recommend looking it up!). computation in rule 110 is a bit convoluted, but basically it's possible to create "gliders", which are patterns that move sideways as the simulation progresses, and the interactions between different gliders can be used to do more complicated things. specifically, they can be used to simulate a kind of computational system called a tag system, where you have a sequence of gliders representing a queue of bits, and a repeating sequence of gliders that act as a program doing simple operations on the queue. tag systems have been shown to be capable of implementing universal turing machines, so theoretically rule 110 can do any computation (though it would be very impractical to actually use it for that)

you can get any sequence of 1s and 0s and transform it using some specific rules into another sequence. and its been proven that if you have a computer capable of doing rule 110, it is theoretically capable of any other computation

I noticed this as well, it might be fun to look into. There's something going on there for sure.

I think there's a small modification you can make to rule 110 to make it actually the sierpinski triangle.

rule 110 doesn't really have a fractal structure, but there are other cellular automata, such as rule 60, that do basically make sierpinski triangles!

That's a great point. Some cellular automata use more than 2 colors. So it might be possible to make a similar computer that uses different sound frequencies with the calibrated sculk sensor to represent different colors

The "triangles-of-triangles" pattern actually pops up in a lot of cellular automata. Sierpinski's triangle is just the most iconic example. It's just one member of a big triangle-of-triangles family and this pattern is one of its relatives

Nice. I didn't see that setup when working on this. Good catch.

I deleted it years ago... then decided to come back to KZfaq. Not great planning on my part

It's called "carpet mod"

One day hopefully 😅

I'm not sure. It's gonna be 1/video per month from here on. So permaculture will be on the list but it will probably just be one permaculture episode a year.

No they wish they could implement it, but for a lot of them, it's just too slow and the potential of it activating from a false signal is too great. Redstone systems can break from a single signal activating when it shouldn't, and so the sensor doesn't work.
