Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a new Video Chat panel for Android that lets you apply a variety of visual and audio effects to video calls. These effects include background blur, portrait lighting, portrait touch-up, and studio-style mic processing. Although we spotted evidence of the Video Chat panel in Android 16 Beta 4, the feature doesn’t work yet, suggesting it’ll roll out in a future release.

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini will soon replace the Google Assistant on all devices, including Android phones, Wear OS watches, and Android Auto headunits. On compatible smartwatches, the switch could happen with an update for the Assistant app for Wear OS. The Assistant app could get a new icon once Gemini becomes available on Wear OS watches. Android currently offers users the option to choose either the Google Assistant or Gemini as their default voice assistant. However

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a new “Scheduled actions” feature for Gemini, with options to pause and resume scheduled tasks. There aren’t further clues within the Google app, but we presume it could be similar to ChatGPT’s Scheduled tasks feature. Scheduled tasks contain instructions that enable ChatGPT to automatically run prompts on a scheduled basis. One of the primary use cases for digital assistants has been the ability to run reminders and scheduled tasks.

It’s not yet clear how Google will choose which emails to surface in this manner.

The next part of the Advent of Code puzzle involves interpreting instructions called do() and don't() which turn on and off the contributions of mul instructions to the sum. As we parse, we now need to keep track of one bit of state. This is a nightmare for regexes to deal with, because they recognise regular languages, and regular languages are literally stateless languages.2 There’s more nuance, of course, but as a first approximation. Technically regular languages are those that can be recogn
