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.

> our agent runs locally in your browser (not on their server)

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!
