At least two other Croats broke the same record in the last 11 years (Goran Čolak 23:01 in 2014 and Budimir Šobat 24:37 in 2021). There must be some genetic predisposition.

Yep. In Croatia it has a cult following. Similar to obscure Italian comic “Alan Ford”, and Hungarian-Israeli writer Ephraim Kishon.

“Extra charges based on income” - does this mean that if you earn more, you pay more for electricity?

Still gives incorrect code to the following prompt - the description is correct but not the code. I have yet to find one LLM that gives the correct code. This is the prompt:

“Write C code to calculate the sum of matrix elements below the secondary diagonal.“

Pulse oxymeters exist for at least 30 years. What kind of patent does Masimo hold?

You are sharing current data from this week. The annual average carbon intensity for EU27 is 296 gCO2eq/kWh. The annual average for Croatia is 246 gCO2eq/kWh, and as I wrote, it is below EU average.

Electricity production in Croatia is already much “greener” than the EU average: approximately 30% is generated from fossil fuels (10% coal, 20% gas). Remaining is mostly hydro, with significant amount produced from wind and 15-20 % is nuclear.
