When I clicked, I thought that it was going to smash the turbine blades from the animation to suggest something like "all the performance without the thermals," but nope, they just became laptop fans. And seconds later, it started blowing heat/steam out of them!
That's the most uncanny marketing for an ARM laptop I've ever seen.
When they exist at all. Many apps that provide important notifications (like delivery tracking, drop-off time etc) put them under the same category as marketing stuff. You can't have just the transactional tracking, you have to opt-in for the marketing notifications as well.
The ridesharing apps are the most annoying about this. Yes I want to be notified when my uber driver is almost here to pick me up. No, I don't want a notification about yet another sale.
It baffles me that they do this. I have to disable push notifications from Lyft entirely, so instead they send me ride updates as text messages, which surely must cost them way more money. Why not just introduce a "ride updates only" push notification category and stop this madness?
> It needs to be enforced by the OS or by law. Like how you get transactional emails without getting marketing spam.
What glorious universe do you live in where email is respected enough to have transactions separate from marketing, and that this is not only required by law but also enforced?
There's a pretty healthy regulatory environment around it, though I have noticed a resurgence of opt-out marketing communications on signup forms, which is unwelcome (I don't know if some legal decision changed, but it seemed like for a while this was not allowed, and maybe something has made companies think that it is again).
(I decided to look it up, here's the UK rules: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-and-pr... . It looks like it is allowed to be opt-out if you buy something from them, which I do dislike, but there are rules and the ICO does have teeth)
Not sure about your experience, I’ve almost never encountered a marketing email that didn’t have an unsubscribe link, as is mandated by law in some countries. So I’m not really sure what you’re talking about.
On iOS atleast, Live Activities are separate from Notifications. So I can still monitor food or grocery delivery even though I have turned off their notifications.
Now a few apps have started sending notifications through WhatsApp because they have my phone number. e.g. Amazon
Yeah, but I still see apps that don't implement those features. Mostly React Native/Flutter apps that don't bother implementing native features. On Android it's even more depressing.
I'm not worried about missing food notifications because they send me an email and a text (... and a fax and a hardcopy confirmation letter in the mail.)
I had to disable from Android settings all LinkedIn notifications.
I check it from time to time but I haven't missed anything, nowadays LinkedIn is mostly garbage
Sure, but they didn't spend on training the model. If DeepSeek is providing the model for the same price as third parties, then it's probably still losing money when you account for the training.
Deepseek bypasses CUDA and has a few other optimisation that neither llama.cpp or vLLM support.
Furthermore, V4 pro was designed to run on 4 Huawei Ascend GPUs which are much cheaper than the nvidia setup others use, and deepseek probably also got some free hardware for their collab.
Hence it is entirely possible their inference costs are significantly lower than other providers.
We shouldn't take free open models for granted. They're a byproduct of the current AI craze, but the economics aren't on their side. It's not sustainable. Alibaba already stopped releasing the weights for their best models, for instance.
The Node world was built with asynchronicity in mind. First via callbacks, then Promises, then async/await (Promise-based), so it feels natural now.
But if you take Python (for example), it's a shitshow. You usually have two versions of the same API, split by function name, client, package, or namespace: `foo` and `afoo`, where the a-prefixed one is async and meant to be used inside async function call chains, and the other one is the blocking version for non-async chains (which are still very much in use). It's a pain to develop for, to maintain, to scale, everything.
