Not all optimizations are more energy consuming. For an analogy, does a using a car consume more energy than a bicycle? Yes. But a using a bicycle does not consume more energy than a man running on feet.
I would not discount NLP tasks just yet. In practice, they are still used to solve problems like spellcheck, autocomplete and even words and text rewrites.
The state of the art models these days would not be able to be bundled with browsers. These are typically neural models [0] and require specialized hardware to run, and also have high memory requirements.
The models in browsers are light-weight to be able to run on most devices. Might be similar to those used in smartphone keyboards like GBoard [1].
Comparing the spellcheck quality of Firefox to Google (search, not Chrome) might not be completely fair. The browser most likely uses a client-side spelling model with tight memory & performance constraints. The suggestions from Google come from high quality models hosted on their servers.
Not sure about TV shows but for films (especially Netflix originals), that's partly due to the recent trend of films getting shot for TV viewing experience. These films tend to have fewer "wide" shots and more "character" shots compared to the earlier theatre release only films.
Sidenote: The style guide (recently?) removed the ban on non-const references [0]. They are now allowed for non-optional output parameters. Though returning value is generally preferred over output parameters.
The argument for tabs really goes that time is spent much more on reading code than authoring, so it should be optimized and customizable (tab width) for the reader.
> Convert comments to code. Write a comment describing the logic you want, and let GitHub Copilot assemble the code for you.
I don't know if Copilot does it already but I would love if there was a tool that does exactly the opposite — convert code to comments and documentation.
This makes me curious that suppose value of bitcoin since then had dropped to say less than $1 for some reasons, would he still be fined the same amount?
Have you tried switching to the ads model on Android (like suggested by your app's Android feedback/reviews)? I am curious if that would increase your revenue from Android users and somewhat lower piracy?

I am not sure how is this (lack of) feature mentioned as an advantage over youtube. Afaict there's certainly a video tab on the yt channel that displays videos sorted with time uploaded (and probably is modifiable). I understand that the point must be that people may want to not see the recommended videos, but don't most such visitors directly visit the yt channel. At least I use it like that.
