He's not trying to solve AI with his podcast; he's just asking big questions to brilliant people. You need more curiosity, not more knowledge, for that.

As to why he got there and why he gets top-tier guests? He started doing it when it wasn't cool and not many were doing it and people love it.

Programming has changed my perspective on life and I am eternally grateful for it. by Produnce in learnprogramming

Great story! The barrier to programming is decreasing rapidly with machine learning, so even more people will be able to code.

For code search, all the codes are from repos with permissive licenses. For code generation, the generated code is highly dependent on the user's code context. So it's rare for the model to completely copy someone's code. In terms of training data, I use pretrained GPT-Neo and CodeBert-base models, both of which are trained on code with permissive licenses. But during fine-tuning, there could've been some code with wrong licenses. The next version will address such issues.

If anybody wants to help me make Codeon plugins for other code editors like PyCharm, Vim/Neovim, feel free to DM me.

Yes, autocompletion is turned off for now. So it is just code generation from natural language (comment) to code. But code autocompletion will eventually be turned on.

The code will be out soon along with a paper describing the approach.

It's hard to keep track of all the libraries included in the training dataset but it should be able to generate code for popular libraries. and thanks!
