The lack of proper indentation (which you noted) in the Python fib() examples was even more apparent. The fact that both AIs you tested failed in the same way is interesting. I've not played with image generation, is this type of fai

I have a fairly large code base that has been developed over a decade that deepwiki has indexed. The results are mixed but how they are mixed gives me some insight into deepwiki's usefulness. The code base has a lot of documentation i

I had tried this with the previous versions of sonnet and gemini pro. Sonnet's context, back then, could not hold the full source I was working on. Reducing the context did allow it produce a graph. Both LLMs produced graphs with en

My understanding is that they claim that for every unique prompt there is a unique final state of the LLM. Isn't that patently false due to the finite state of the LLM and the ability (in principle, at least) to input arbitrarily larg

The issue is to make sense of the incredibly detailed AST to answer various questions about the code base. For example, how to make an information flow graph that shows what functions read and write what variables in a set of C++ classes.

Looks nice. Two things on my wish list: 1. Make graphs from Clang's AST. 2. Invent some style flourish to help follow an edge that becomes part of a bundle of many edges.
