I needed to run a comparison over a window of a numpy array, and given the sheer size of my data, I needed it to be fast and efficient, which means vectorized operations with minimal python interaction. Copilot figured a solution that is orders of magnitude faster than what I could conjure up in 10 minutes, most of which I'd spent searching for similar solutions in SO.
