BB(6):
- Andrew Ducharme and @mxdys both found a family of 10 halting TMs independently, all halting in around $10^{69}$ steps.
- @mxdys decided yet another machine's fate from the 50 Random Holdouts released in August, making 7/50 machined solved as of this month.
BB(7): Andrew Ducharme has continued reducing the number of holdouts, from 59,727,905 to 45,980,438 (23.02% reduction)

John Tromp announced on Discord that a 350-bit $BB\lambda (n)$ function now reaches the limit of BMS, an improvement from the previous 404 bits.
