Which online product gives away 6 months of a $100 per month subscription?
Jetbrains gives away for free infinity years of a $180+ per year subscription (its more expensive in the first year or for orgs)[1] for open source authors, students, and more. Sure, the per-month price tag is not as high but after year 4 you saved much more. [1] https://www.jetbrains.com/store/?section=students&billing=ye...
Though it doesn't cost them anything of note to provide this other than maybe some lost sales to devs who would have bought it.

#103Same as Anthropic's similar offer, they're only giving 6 months free. This really just feels like a way to get OSS maintainers hooked so they buy subscriptions after the free period is over. If they were really serious about supporting OSS, they'd offer it for free perpetually (well, with periodic checks to ensure the maintainers are still affiliated with the project). Anything less just makes it look like a marketin…
The bulk of open source development is (still?) on Github.
It's not like the Linux kernel isn't real. It's just that the kind of people who write Linux kernel patches and get them accepted are, in the eyes of an average open source developer, somewhere between "majestic magical creatures" and "madmen".

#107What are AI companies doing to respect open source licenses and copyright?
I'm sure they train their models on open source software, so how do I know that LLM generated code doesn't reproduce substantial chunks of, for example, GPL licensed code? If indeed there are GPL violations, what are AI companies doing to police themselves?
I wonder if open source licenses will start to include "not to be used for LLM training" clauses.

As if the LLM trainers would care. They've ignored every single license and copyright policy out there because "fair transformative use". It's undergoing litigation in various jurisdictions, and the chaotic side of me really wants to see what happens if a UK or California decide that training an LLM on pirated copyrighted material is not fair use, and the rights holders have to be compensated.

After using JetBrains IDEs for years I can hardly really get into anything that isn't vertically integrated. Language servers are THE WORST -- I love Zed but only use it for things that don't require language integration at all.
It's like how after using Apple hardware for years I couldn't put up with most Windows laptops -- either they were HiDPI ultrabooks with no performance or they were sloppy gamer machines with no class.
Learning JetBrains gets you hooked.
Re: Codex for open source
#110FYI this program is ~3 months old, and Anthropic has a similar Claude for Open Source program (see https://claude.com/contact-sales/claude-for-oss ).
I applied for my oss project Filestash which satisfy all their criterias but never heard back despite the project having millions of users, more than 14000 stars on github and representing more work than a single person can cope with
Same here, 15k stars, 150M downloads and never heard back.
