Google releases a study saying a median Gemini text prompt uses 0.26mm of water and makes ~0.03g CO2; critics call it misleading for omitting indirect water use (Justine Calma/The Verge)

Google says a typical AI text prompt only uses 5 drops of water — experts say that’s misleading
Google estimates that a Gemini text prompt uses a minimal amount of water and energy, but experts say the study paints an incomplete picture of AI’s environmental toll.

Singular minimal surfaces with constant curvature
We prove that singular minimal surfaces with constant Gauss curvature are planes, spheres and cylindrical surfaces. We also classify all singular minimal surfaces with a constant principal curvature and singular minimal surfaces with constant mean curvature.

Scalar induced gravitational waves in PV symmetric teleparallel gravity with non-minimally coupled boundary term
The question of whether the parity violation occurs in gravitational interaction has recently attracted much attention. In this paper, we investigate the scalar induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) in symmetric teleparallel gravity incorporating a parity-violating (PV) term and a non-minimally coupled boundary term. The presence of this non-minimally coupled boundary term help to avoid the strong coupling problem inherent in PV symmetric teleparallel gravity, thereby enabling our study of the SI…

Time-optimal Asynchronous Minimal Vertex Covering by Myopic Robots
In a connected graph with an autonomous robot swarm with limited visibility, it is natural to ask whether the robots can be deployed to certain vertices satisfying a given property using only local knowledge. This paper affirmatively answers the question with a set of \emph{myopic} (finite visibility range) luminous robots with the aim of \emph{filling a minimal vertex cover} (MVC) of a given graph $G = (V, E)$. The graph has special vertices, called \emph{doors}, through which robots enter seq…

Modern Minimal Perfect Hashing: A Survey
Given a set $S$ of $n$ keys, a perfect hash function for $S$ maps the keys in $S$ to the first $m \geq n$ integers without collisions. It may return an arbitrary result for any key not in $S$ and is called minimal if $m = n$. The most important parameters are its space consumption, construction time, and query time. Years of research now enable modern perfect hash functions to be extremely fast to query, very space-efficient, and scale to billions of keys. Different approaches give different tr…

Classification of del {P}ezzo surfaces of rank one. III. Height 3
This article is a part of a series aimed at classifying normal del Pezzo surfaces of Picard rank one over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, up to an isomorphism. The key invariant guiding our classification is the height, defined as the minimal number $h$ such that the minimal resolution of singularities admits a $\mathbb{P}^1$-fibration whose fiber meets the exceptional divisor $h$ times. It is expected that every singular del Pezzo surface of rank one is of height $h\…

A Minimalist Controller for Autonomously Self-Aggregating Robotic Swarms: Enabling Compact Formations in Multitasking Scenarios
The deployment of simple emergent behaviors in swarm robotics has been well-rehearsed in the literature. A recent study has shown how self-aggregation is possible in a multitask approach -- where multiple self-aggregation task instances occur concurrently in the same environment. The multitask approach poses new challenges, in special, how the dynamic of each group impacts the performance of others. So far, the multitask self-aggregation of groups of robots suffers from generating a circular fo…

A Note on Helicoidal Singular Minimal Surfaces
Let $α\in\r$ and let $\vec{v}\in\r^3$ be a unit vector. A singular minimal surface $Σ$ in Euclidean space is a surface $Σ$ whose mean curvature $H$ satisfies $H=α\frac{\langle N,\vec{v}\rangle}{\langle p,\vec{v}\rangle}$, where $N$ is the unit normal vector of $Σ$. In this short note we study singular minimal surfaces which are invariant by a one-parameter group of helicoidal motions. We prove that if $Σ$ is a helicoidal singular minimal surface, then the axis of the helicoidal motion is …
