intellicode VS rivalcfg

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 assume you'd turn the LEDs off if you were using Windows using Steelseries' own software. If you use Linux you can turn it off with rivalcfg if your model is supported (https://flozz.github.io/rivalcfg/).

In that line, rivalcfg works wonders for steelseries mice (can be used on windows as well), openrazer for Razer peripherals, and piper (Gui frontend for libratbag) for Logitech and some other brand mice.

Would this github repo be any help?

You might want to give rivalcfg a look. It only handles mice but check if your model is supported. If not, you can contribute by providing some info about your mouse and it could be added in a future version.

I'm also using a custom configuration tool I found for steelseries mice in case that matters

Why would these projects exist: https://openrazer.github.io/ https://github.com/flozz/rivalcfg https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl https://openrgb.org/

pkgfile --update sudo pacman -S python-pip git clone https://github.com/flozz/rivalcfg.git cd rivalcfg sudo pacman -S python3 sudo pip install . sudo rivalcfg --update-udev sudo rivalcfg -s 800
