intellicode VS openrazer

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.

So if a very skilled developer reverse engineer a driver for some brands (OpenRazer as an example), I feel better about it especially if it's open source.

Why are you trying to run a setup.exe? For linux there's Open Razer

What a interesting device. As I searching I found mousepad has different device id than mouse itself. this driver may solve your problems. If problem continues could you please share system info with upload-system-info from terminal and sudo lspci -v

Yeah I would take piper over any of that bloated peripheral software anyway, gets the job done. There's also other community projects like OpenRazer. For a keyboard I grabbed a System76 Launch, it's a bit pricey but it's super nice and fully customizable via an appimage.

Wouldn't it be easier to install Openrazer? https://github.com/openrazer/openrazer
