intellicode VS Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux

random question. Did you get inspired for the meme from the intellicode dotnet support for vscode issue on github? :p at https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/intellicode/issues/81

Two years ago, an issue was opened in Microsoft's IntelliSense GitHub repository[0] titled "Licensing issues". It receives a response from a Microsoft employee. Eventually, the argument is made that this is a derivative work, as it is derived from thousands (?) of open-source projects. From what I understand, this seems to be true.

However, here's the fun part: Microsoft is training its AI dataset on these open-source projects. Would the terms of the license still apply here?

Further, would you say the law hasn't caught up with this use of open-source projects yet?

I am also curious about the legality of GitHub Copilot, since they seem to do largely the same thing from an AI standpoint.

> And yet most people keep trusting them with their code on Github.

Honestly, from what I've seen many people don't see the issue with this. "The code is public anyway, so what difference does it make?"

I'm starting to see the downsides of that viewpoint now, though[0]. If GitHub, and by extension Microsoft, technically 'own' the code (licensing, etc.) then they have free reign over it, leading to things like Copilot and Intellicode.

People only seem to have heard about GitHub Copilot. But Microsoft has a similar solution (that is not as... invasive) that was first released in preview in 2018. It's called IntelliCode, available for multiple languages both for Visual Studio Code[1] and regular Visual Studio[2] (but not enabled by default last time I checked -- which was a while ago, granted).

JetBrains has their own experimental thing that is not enabled per default.

And there's also Codota and Tabnine.

Copilot is actually fairly late to the party here.

Microsoft released Visual Studio IntelliCode (based on GPT-2) in 2018. It does not support PHP though.

i found a script someone made (here) but it just isnt working, when i use bottle i get an error that it failed to login, and when i use the script wget just times out. i manually downloaded the script, but the script has wget in it anyway. i tried adding -4 to wget, which didnt help.

Which OS? If Linux and wine, You are out of luck for now. See: https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/issues/319

A couple of us on github believe the issue is related to bcrypt.dll

Also Fusion360? https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux

You are able to run it using Wine, you could try looking https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=36468 here for the test results and bugs and https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux here for instructions on getting it running.
