    Borland/Turbo C++ flavor menus for Vim 8.2▲9

    There are many keymaps defined in my .vimrc. Getting tired from checking .vimrc time to time when I forget some, based on latest +popup feature (vim 8.2), I created this vim-quickui plugin to introduce some basic ui components to enrich vim's interactive experience: - Well designed and carefully colored Borland/Turbo C++ flavor ui system combined with vim's productivity. - Can be accessed by keyboard only while mouse is also supported. - Navigate with the usual Vim keys like h/j/k/l, confirm with ENTER/SPACE and cancel with ESC/Ctrl+[. - Tip for each entry can…

    Helix apply -f deploy YAML GenAI with RAG and APIs on local open models [video]▲8

    Demo starts at 50m into the video. This was a bit terrifying to record because 2am the previous night everything was totally broken after a major refactor (so that we could add external LLM support as well as local GPUs). But pressure can be a useful force :-D We start with a stack deployed on my laptop without a GPU, pointing to together.ai so we can run open source LLMs easily without having to have access to a GPU.
