Reverse Engineering the (client) Github Copilot: It appears to be sending an enormous prompt, considering the 20 most recent files, from which some snippets are extracted:<p>&gt; By default, the fixed window Jaccard Matcher is used. This class slices up a given file (from which snippets are to be extracted) into sliding windows of a fixed size. It then computes Jaccard similarity between each window and the reference file (the file you’re typing in).<p>Code: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thakkarparth007.github.io&#x2F;copilot-explorer&#x2F;codeviz&#x2F;templates&#x2F;code-viz.html#m3055312&amp;pos=303:29" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thakkarparth007.github.io&#x2F;copilot-explorer&#x2F;codeviz&#x2F;t...</a>
