Why does some HN users seem to prefer GitHub page whenever available at expense of official site? I mean, Huawei is still sanctioned, anything they host third party outside China can disappear at any hour.
I prefer GitHub, because I can see the code and immediately know where to click. Product pages are always full of various marketing shots, videos, etc that just takes more time to parse through.
This is pretty much the reason that if I read about a new product, I generally just go to the Wikipedia page. I just want the no-bullshit version, no "Say hello to blah" video or marketing word salad.

Looks like many of their repos there have been around for a while. Also not sure why we would sanction free stuff from them
Well I'm not a lawyer but are you allowed to provide material support to sanctioned entities?
It’s a commerce department sanction not a treasury department sanction (which would be far more serious).
Did they release any model? Seems good for Strata
What a project name.
Probably intended to reference macaque monkeys.
I forgot my French, but isn't it incredibly rude?
Why?
I think the immature commenters are referring to the pronunciation being similar to "my cock"
Aaa, thanks I didn't think of that.
Congratulations on not being a total degenerate.
It's also a racial slur in certain languages.
No, no, not that.
I'd assume the French know something about naming projects in the vein of Coq.
xD
I do not think that macaques would mind.
Just enough plausible deniability :P
