Continue.dev is an extension and it does inline edits just fine in VS Code and IntelliJ.

Is it possible that you the files you expect mapped at not tracked in a git repo?

That would explain the empty output.

I’m on a slightly modified version of 0.52.1 which is getting a bit dated but it works well for me even with not officially supported source, like svelte.

In case this thread helps someone else, some errors with —show-repo-map can be solved by setting environment variable PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8

In the chat, you can[0]:

- View the current repository map using `/map`

- Force a refresh of the repository map using `/map-refresh`

If you want to save the repository map to a file for inspection, you can use [1]

    aider --show-repo-map

For me, this has been perplexity.ai. Give it a query, it expands that into multiple queries (possibly chained depending on results) and synthesizes the results into an answer with citations.

Some other options:

1. Piping into `fzf -m` (use tab to toggle selections and built-in search to filter options).

2. Percol https://github.com/mooz/percol (also has filtering, use ctrl-space to toggle selection).

I wondered how this could reliably distinguish between a scene cut and a cut to commercial without content hashes and/or program schedules being shared through the network, then realized that 20 years ago was already 2003 and of course home internet was common by then.

Apparently one offline technique was checking for black frames inserted by local stations.

I subscribe to this theory as well. Another earlier book about the topic is I Am A Strangle Loop by Douglas Hofstadter[0]

Update: I got an automated email from Goodreads to download this export. It contains a bunch of json files containing user/usage-related data for my account like request logs, newsfeed updates, kindle logins, site settings, etdc.

I assume this data export includes much more than just the book data (which I just discovered you can get immediately as CVS via https://www.goodreads.com/review/import) which might be part of a compliance requirement.

You can request your data here https://www.goodreads.com/user/edit?ref=nav_profile_settings

They will send a confirmation email. After you click the link to confirm, it says "We will provide your information to you as soon as we can. Usually, this should take no more than a month."

EDIT: you can export your book database as CSV (shelves, ratings, reviews, etc) here https://www.goodreads.com/review/import (there's a link towards the top to export...disregard that the URL says "import".

This reminds me of a great short story about the intelligence of parrots, "The Great Silence" by Ted Chiang.
