Output the Arecibo Message

Question

The Arecibo message is a 1974 interstellar radio message carrying basic information about humanity and Earth sent to globular star cluster M13 in the hope that extraterrestrial intelligence might receive and decipher it... The message consisted of 1,679 binary digits, approximately 210 bytes...

The number 1,679 was chosen because it is a semiprime (the product of two prime numbers), to be arranged rectangularly as 73 rows by 23 columns. The alternative arrangement, 23 rows by 73 columns, produces an unintelligible set of characters (as do all other X/Y formats).

This is the message with color added to highlight its separate parts. The actual binary transmission carried no color information.

Your task is to output the Arecibo Message in the exact 23x73 arrangement shown in the image. Any of these output formats is acceptable:

• Text, using one character for ones and another for zeros (using the usual rules for row separation)
• A 2D array of two distinct values
• A 23x73 image with two distinct colors
• Aan uninterrupted stream of 1679 items of two distinct values (i.e. any of the above formats, but flat.)
• A 1679-bit integer. Indicate bit and byte order (endianness) in your solution.

For your convenience, here is a copy-pastable version (also an example output in text format):

If your language, for some reason, has a builtin for the Arecibo Message, you may not use that builtin.

Good Luck!

UPDATE: I accepted the 05AB1E answer since it was the first one to be shorter than the original message. Don't let that dissuade you from new solutions.

UPDATE 2019-09-09: Accepted answer moved to a new 05AB1E answer, as it obsoletes the previous 05AB1E answer. Same point goes as previous update; new solutions still welcome.

I played around with Huffman coding, but the improvements in data size were outweighed by the extra code. As such, this is simply a base-250 encoded version of the desired output. Output consists of an integer that when decoded as bijective base 2 will yield the 1D list of 1s and 2s. Thanks @Emigna for pointing out the change in rules.

Try it online - with further decoding to demonstrate output!

If a more conventional binary encoding is preferred, here is one that encodes an integer representation of the inverted binary message. The most significant bit of the integer represents the beginning of the message.

My idea was to first generate a simple solution consisting of setting up an ASCII 0 followed only by +-. instructions to produce the output. Repeating sections can then be shortened using loops.

Choosing the optimal set of non-overlapping sections for looping basically comes down to solving a maximum-weight independent set problem. Currently, I just use a greedy algorithm which takes the section that can be optimized the most and then removes all conflicting sections. This is then repeated until no sections are left.

Using a more sophisticated algorithm one can surely achieve better results.

Answer 5

Piet, 1763 codels

Outputs a stream of 0s and 1s (no line breaks).

Codel size 1:

Codel size 4, for easier viewing:

Explanation

• First, push a sentinel value of -1 onto the stack.
• Then push the Arecibo message, in reverse order (because it's a stack), using run-length encoding.
• Finally, alternate between two loops, one printing zeroes and the other printing ones.
  • The loop counter is the current stack value, decremented until it hits zero, at which point it is discarded and we switch to the other loop.
  • Between the zeroes-loop and the ones-loop, check for the sentinel value, exiting if it is found.

Notes

The program follows a spiral path, clockwise from top left into the centre. The scattered black blocks that roughly follow the diagonals are the flow control. Here's the trace from NPiet.

I've been working on this since the day this challenge went up, but it took a little bit of time to get the message "written" into the picture! I wrote the final loops and the sentinel value first, and then built up the message from the centre outwards. (Since Piet always starts execution from the top left, I expected to have to shuffle and rotate the image around to avoid excess whitespace, but it fit perfectly!)

Fun fact: Run-length encoding in Piet doesn't (by itself) save any space. It takes n codels of one colour to push the value n onto the stack, or n codels of different colours to push that many 1s onto the stack. So it's the same number of codels either way. But the bigger numbers that RLE gives you mean you can use arithmetic tricks (e.g. instead of pushing 9, you can push 3, duplicate, and multiply) to reduce the number of codels, and funny-shaped blocks to fill in available whitespace.

I wasn't sure about how to count score for Piet entries. I found some that seem to count all codels, and others that explicitly only count those actively used. I just counted them all; ignoring white codels (even those that the program never moves through) seems akin to ignoring whitespace in a more typical programming language.

Oh, and I've just now (two hours after posting) realised that I wasted the last bit of time working on this. I wanted to trim off the almost-completely-white last row and column, so I shuffled things around... including the black flow-control blocks. But the edges of the image work the same as black! If I'd just remembered that, I wouldn't have needed to spend so much time puzzling over the intricacies of DPs and CCs...

Most of the code is a base-255 integer constant N, the rest is an Asymmetric Numeral System decoder, using hardcoded probabilities of 75% / 25% (the actual frequency of 0 is 76.35%, which is so close to 75% that it would only save 1.2 bits in the payload, while the nice and round 75% lets us save several bytes in the decoder).

Zsh (+coreutils), 320 577 bytes

It runs on my Mac, but try it online doesn't work because TIO doesn't have basenc :(
It's a one-line program, I've added newlines here for readability. Data compressed to z85 encoding (similar to Ascii85).

basenc -d --z85<<<'0&M8}p.B@#L#QZE00001Fb*2U02+?qq#={[000069asT6g8.)4ZwEwH00
0Mg1onA4aoh}/0Q{6?7?7Abap8T<N!#M/0000:ZZ{J%0d$no1{.{L01Yzs5hjUju{Cb/00eC!f:[

 -w0|cut -c-1679

Encoding steps
_{. Convert Arecibo message to a digestible format → bitstr.8
. Convert bitstr.8 into binary, using script demo16.sh** → bits.16.again
. Convert binary to z85 → basenc --z85 bits.16.again >bits.85
. Use the z85-encoded string in bits.85 for a much shorter code golf!}

Decoding steps -- i.e. what the main script does
_{. basenc -d --z85<<< decodes the z85 string to binary
. |basenc --base2msbf -w0 decodes binary to Ascii 1s and 0s
. |cut -c-1679 trims extra data}

Used custom encoding logic. The string S is 421 characters, could possibly be compressed a bit more. Letters a-w represent repeated 0s. Numbers 1-9 represent repeated 1s. Letters x y z represent 10 100 1000 respectively.

Maybe I should have tried byte-pair encoding or Ascii85 --> Done. ✅

as an Explanation: i concatenated the 73 lines of sample output given to one long line. i encoded them in hexadecimal where the bit order is msbfirst (using this program https://github.com/Marc-Bender/longBinaryStreamToHex/releases/download/addedErrorCode-4/longBinaryStreamToHex.exe) i shortened the Output of that by about 70 hexadecimal Digits by using the letters 'G'-'Z' as a sign to repeat the last Digit for a certain amount of times (Z = 2more times, Y = 3more times …) the rest should be relatively self explainatory for Code-Golfers. abusing the preprocessor to shorten loops, abusing the , Operator and the like.

Output Format is uninterrupted stream of 1679 0/1-values.

This outputs the string as one line. It uses '1' for 0, and '0' for 1 :/

It simply reads the embedded string as base 62, and prints it as base 2.

Outputs as a series of 1679 0s and 1s. You can have it on different lines by adding .comb(23)>> before the say.

Explanation:

:122["...".ords]                     # Convert the string from base 122
                .base(2)             # To base 2
                        ~~S/.//      # Remove the leading 1
                               .say  # And print

I can probably save bytes by using the output as a 1679 bit integer instead, or reversing the bit representation.
