When I visited China some years ago "3N" was also popular. Same logo font and color, but at least they tried to avoid blatantly infringing the genuine brand.
I said "tried" because in fact 3M filed lawsuit in China against Huawei (which manufactured the 3N products). Surprisingly, the Chinese court found them guilty of infringement and even awarded damages to 3M.
Totally understood and not under debate. I could have been more clear.
"3N" is blatant infringement, or at least would be understood as such in the US. China simply doesn't enforce trademark infringement in the same way. I am not opining on whether China should.
Re: specific tools staying outlawed even after this win:
What about offering a tool for some legit purpose, but it just happens to be the right tool that can be used to repair the protected item?
There's two Futurism articles on the front page right now. They're both submitted by the same person (a green name), both of them are rewritings of other articles, both of them are ragebait articles against AI (the other article headline failed to mention California; this headline failed to mention Salesforce), both of them are upvoted very highly.
Of course I'm biased, but I think this is pretty awful. It's just people here upvoting poorly-titled ragebait.
(The other one was about the California X Hollywood bill.)
Yeah i'm fairly fed up with typically thoughtless or low-info anti-AI rhetoric. I'm disabled and in our community AI solves big problems at large scale and it's doing so vastly more efficiently than 5 years ago
I understand the anxiety people possess, for the record. Just wish things weren't so reactionary and emotional. Wish people took more time to educate themselves but I also don't know what it's like being non-technical reading about AI
Absolutely my experience as well... Plus your vendor options are reduced since the location has to be somewhere within driving distance for you, or your "caretaker" so that you can replace that flatlined drive with a new one without significant downtime.
This was a really good story and reminded me of my younger days in the '80s when my cassette deck and Walkman were in constant use. Thanks for sharing...
and yet at this point pretty much expected. So obnoxious and odious - the reality is for any C/C++/rust or similar compilation you need a minimum of 1gb per compilation core for compilation alone, before you consider the rest of the OS :-/
You're saying people shouldn't be able to buy 8GB RAM Macs, which is crazy. I had to check how much memory my laptop has, and it's 8GB and I've never noticed.
I guess you're just complaining about what you get for the lowest price.
Seriously.... My 16gb MacBook pro M1 work machine runs out of memory constantly. I had a MacBook air 8gb and it was useless, it would freeze constantly and have crackly audio.
I found that 24GB ram is really the minimum that is usable on M-series when doing any type of basic work.
Likely an output of so many electron based apps which are memory hungry, but if the memory is supposedly "really fast" then I would expect better performance. Never had the issue with Intel.
But with a nice bit or memory, the performance is really nice.
I'm on 16GB which seems plenty - running many JetBrain's IDE's at the same time, browsers, VM's etc. I know people with the 8GB version and they are fine too. Could be that your machine is faulty somehow and that it's not the RAM but something else.
You are only person in thread that says this. I still have one laptop is a M1 air 16gb. Still fastest computer I have ever owned outside of my MBP, I really only mbp for AI training everything else runs great on air still
> 24GB ram is really the minimum that is usable on M-series when doing any type of basic work
M1 Air with 16 GB RAM. I have RubyMine (JetBrains IDE), an application server running Rails, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, Slack, Safari and Apple Music running, and DxO PhotoLab 7 loaded on the non-work desktop space and clicking through some photos I took yesterday. Memory pressure green, laptop chilling at 30 °C.
I'm using Unity (uber wasteful) and Rider (Java) and an M1 air with 8GB is fine, no slowdown whatsoever* (compared to my desktop with 32GB on Windows). RAM is not the bottleneck in *NIX OSes, unless you do something that specifically requires a lot of RAM (eg machine learning)
*compiling is slower, but the desktop has a much faster CPU
I’ve got a 8GB Mac mini, 16GB iMac and a 64GB MBP, all on Apple Silicon.
In 99% of the cases I can’t tell a difference in responsiveness or use and my main use is app development in Xcode and high resolution photo and video editing.
Even when actively monitoring things I mainly see a difference in memory compression, not so much in swap.
As for Intel, before Apple Silicon I had the most tricked out Intel MBP and I’d rather chop my left arm off and be stuck in a bunker for a year with just the 8GB Mac mini than have to use that the Intel MBP is had. Unless perhaps the bunker has no heating, in which case I might have to reconsider.
I don’t agree at all with the arguments here. Terraform is so widely adopted that it has become a basic, almost built-in component of every cloud ecosystem. Hashicorp would have been better off by treating it as a Trojan horse into enterprises and focusing on its other assets. I expect there will be a newcomer that will take advantage of this mishap and we’ll be talking about their solution next year (unless OpenTF manages to win people over).
> Science belongs to everyone, regardless of culture or religion
You might want to reassess where you stand if you truly believe that. All I see is the decline of the scientific organizations (including universities where people are granted PhDs based on their political connections), the explicit desire to separate girls from boys in schools, spending many times more on ministry of religion vs ministry of education, and pro-government scientists making ridiculous claims like “cellphone use at the time of Noah”[0].
You're unfortunately mixing up religion with politics. The current government is not the representative of Islam, on the contrary, they are far from it.
