That's definitely a nice feature. Did you measure the impact on laptop battery life in a typical scenario (assuming there is such a scenario at this early stage)

The agent running by itself shouldn't impact battery life, it is similar to a lightweight chrome extension and if you think about it, it's an agent browsing the web like human would :)

If you run LLMs locally (using Ollama) and use that in our browser, that would impact battery life for sure.

How does the Late Join Recap feature work? The gif shows a google meet window, but in my experience of joining late, none of the previous audio or chat messages are available (at least in the UI, I never checked the API https://developers.google.com/meet/api/guides/artifacts but I doubt a random participant would have access to it).

You need someone else in your meeting to be using Amurex, since the transcription for someone else is already happening, we reuse that to give you the recap.

looks great!

> It’s a website that shows every movie screening in every cinema across the entire Germany. And when I say EVERY screening, I mean it

UCI East side gallery is missing in Berlin though (https://www.uci-kinowelt.de/kinoprogramm/berlin-mercedes-pla...), which is a shame because I think it's one of the only IMAX screen in the city (https://www.reddit.com/r/berlin/comments/14u755m/biggest_scr...)

doesn't it use a lot of memory since we're only interested in the last value?

You can do the same thing with a generator.

    x = 0
    deque((x := x + 1 for _ in range(10)), maxlen=0)
    print(x)
    >> 10

Using deque to consume generators is an old trick documented in the itertools recipes: https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html#itertools-r...

Oh yes, because Putin is going to waive Putin’s diplomatic immunity!

do you a source for that? That sounds surprising to me https://www.statista.com/statistics/1185559/carbon-footprint...

Sorry, you're right I was thinking of just the fuel consumption, but with radiative forcing planes end up about the same as single passenger cars

I'm curious about this one

> Streaming services must limit the resolution of their streaming offers to Standard Definition (SD).

Assuming the content has already been encoded in both HD and SD, how much of a difference does it make in terms of electric consumption to transmit it in HD vs SD, on say 1/ a desktop at home and 2/ a phone in the street?

The same table says males in UK had a death rate of 0.00106 between 35 and 39 years of age in 2019 (5 times higher than workers in Qatar) so I don't know what's the mistake but it seems to me we can't compare those 2 numbers like that.

Of course not, these death rates are based on numbers reported by embassies. It’s unsurprising that they aren’t very accurate.

But if we were to believe these numbers, the only possible conclusions would reflect very well on Qatar.

Right, the numbers are so far in Qatar's favour that we know they must be wrong. Which makes it even more ridiculous that The Guardian has managed to fabricate a negative article from them.

I'm not a native speaker, but it seems the original (https://theconversation.com/intel-cant-even-grow-profits-dur..., left) is better written than this copy (right):

"Samsung’s main business is memory chips" → "Samsung’s major enterprise is reminiscence chips" :D

Now I want to read a SciFi story featuring reminiscence chips. Preferably edible. Eat them and you get new memories, somebody else's or synthetic. Or maybe you regain access to your own, long-lost memories.

I suspect this link is just blogspam and someone went over the original with a thesaurus.

definitely “The Sultan’s Elephant, or La visite du sultan des Indes sur son éléphant à voyager dans le temps, was first performed in Nantes in 2005, on the centenary of Jules Verne’s death. This production was commissioned by the cities of Nantes and Amiens and received a special grant from the French Ministry of Culture and Communication.” https://www.artichoke.uk.com/project/the-sultans-elephant/ar...
