I found https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page quite useful for that.

there were only 110 words before it said “There are two parts to this post: annoying things and alarming things. The second part is longer.” But I agree it would be better with a table of content at the top (or on the side)

> Built on 6 papers: Generative Agents (2023), OASIS (2025), TwinMarket (2025), Agent Bazaar (2026), EconSimulacra (2026), SMIF

Could you link the actual papers in your README? Just searching OASIS (2025) on google is mostly about music :) I guess it is https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.11581

The arxiv paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.19220) was already submitted to HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47530052) but it sounds like a nice local model:

> Despite its compact size (30B MoE model with 3B activated parameters), its mathematical and coding reasoning performance approaches that of frontier open models. It is the second open-weight LLM, after DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale-671B-A37B, to achieve Gold Medal-level performance in the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), and the ICPC World Finals.

> Every story is imagined, written, and directed by humans. AI is just our force multiplier; the ingredient technology that empowers our small creative team to deliver serialized worlds at cinematic scale without the constraints of legacy studios.

> Founded by Zack London, Gossip Goblin is backed by investors behind multiple billion-dollar exits. We are proving that creator-led studios can move faster, build deeper mythologies, and own the IP that defines the next era of storytelling.

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)

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).

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?

> Diplomatic immunity is absolute

That sounds… extreme. Wikipedia lists several examples [1] where a diplomat's immunity was waived by their home country since they committed offense unrelated to their function. And the same seems to be true for head states committing war crimes, as it is unrelated to their function [2].

[2]: https://www.diplomacy.edu/blog/are-international-immunities-...

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

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.
