Show HN: CQ2 – the work communication tool for writing-first teams
Hi! I'm Anand, founder of CQ2.

CQ2 is the work communication tool built for writing-first teams.

Discussions using existing written communication tools often turn into a tangle of sub-discussions around quotes, making it hard to follow. There's no clear view of all the comments in a specific sub-discussion and how the sub-discussion is related to its parent, forcing constant scrolling and hopping between comments to gather context for a meaningful response. On top of all that, it's tough to tell if any key points were overlooked. Meetings are hit-or-miss. When it comes to complex and lengthy discussions, they often go nowhere. Instead of thoughtful responses, you often get knee-jerk reactions. Many meetings benefit from taking a break to analyse deeper or reflect further, but there is never enough time.

Writing-first culture is the future. That's why I'm building CQ2.

CQ2's unique sliding panes design with quote-level threads helps you hyper-focus on one thing at a time. No more tangling of sub-discussions around quotes — create focused threads in organized panes around any specific quote, as well as any specific comment. No more losing context — have a clear view of all the comments and parent threads of a thread, at all times. No more copy-pasting quotes — just select the text and create a new thread at a click of a button. Easily identify parts of the discussion which were overlooked. Organise your communication chaos with posts & chat. And, CQ2 is open source!

CQ2 is currently in early access. If our passion for thoughtful and coherent communication resonates with you, we would love to learn about your team, your frustrations with existing communication tools, and better understand how CQ2 can help.

Really? Where did you hear that? Conventional wisdom is based on a post by an MS employee years ago that described the performance issues as architectural.

MS does have something called "dev drive" in Win11. Dev Drive is what ReFS turned into and is an entirely different filesystem that isn't NTFS, which is better optimized for UNIX-style access patterns. The idea is that core Windows remains slow, but developers (the only people who care about file IO performance apparently) can format another partition and store their source/builds there.
I had a close family friend (many decades older than me) lose his young daughter to CF back in the 60s or 70s. He and his family helped run the CF walk each year in their area and I'm sure made some major donations to research regarding it.

Hearing about any kind of advancement is huge. I can't even begin to understand what you've gone through, but am so happy to hear there is a new medicine to help with such a cruel disease and that it's made a world of difference to you. Sometimes it feels like medical science is still in the dark ages and I get saddened that we haven't got flying cars or Dr. Beverly Crusher can't wave some device over me and fix all the ailments I now have. Other days I hear about these kinds of advancements and it makes me smile!
Ask HN: What's holding you back monetising side projects?
I’ve noticed a few valuable projects that fail to charge users, which tends to lead to their demise.

A joke exists in the aerospace world of "what keeps aeroplanes in the air? money" which feels generally analogous to software projects' long-term survival & prosperity.

Is there a rationale for leaving money on the table?

GP mentioned that the current slate of transformer based AIs are not transformative in the same way the Internet was. Rather it's more of a triumph of data engineering practices.

OP disagrees with GP. OP's main thesis is that AI enables a lot new applications. OP claims that GP is simply looking at it as if it were training data.

I stated that current AI techniques ARE indeed just reflections of the data used in training. I agree with GP that the current "AI"s are simply not transformative in the same way the Internet was.

If you change the training data for the current generation of AI, you get different behaviours. The training data forms a manifold - which you can think of as a landscape with features forming valleys and hills. What the current generation of AI does is that it tries to find a shape that fits the landscape - think of it like taking a very large sheet of cloth to cover a landscape. The stiffer the cloth, the less well the cloth fits to the landscape. The "stiffness" of the cloth is the amount of parameters that a neural network has. Modern deep nets are highly overparameterized - imagine a very soft pliable cloth - of course it fits to a landscape well.

So if you have a different training data - the neural network will fit to this different landscape as well. Hence the response will be different.

It's unfortunate that the training data is the entire internet for a few reasons:

1. Only the rich can train a vaguely competent AI. You're at the whims of those well-resourced enough.
2. There's no "alternate" training dataset anymore. (Though a clever thing people at OpenAI are doing are Mixture of Experts models, where you train multiple NNs using different subsets of the full training set, so you get multiple competencies)

This is a pretty common criticism (and I agree with it). To me it felt like the successful test was the obvious dramatic climax of the movie, but then you had another hour of a bunch of guys sitting in a room arguing about security clearance. It could have been shorter, or if they wanted to keep the length they could have explored Oppenheimer's early life in more detail.

Modern air combat is one giant theorycraft - if the US was 100% certain in what you wrote - the supremacy of beyond visual range (BVR) combat and stealth - they'd have skipped making the F35 and went straight for the B-21 bomber, never mind procuring non-stealth F15EX and keeping the F18s in service.

And another fact is that BVR and stealth are somewhat incompatible - you need powerful sensors to shoot far, and said sensors are immensely detectable.
That's a choice, but not everyone has kids, and kids don't stay home forever (at least, not in all cultures).
Imagine not having a clue what you are talking about.

I am a dev in EU. What you are calling "malicious compliance cookie popup" is what every single lawyer is advising every single company with a regular website to implement. Even if they have no ads and do no tracking. Just to be safe from from a badly written law. To avoid being "fined into the ground".

Even official EU websites have that "malicious compliance cookie popup". Try using the web from inside the EU. EVERY site has that, ads or not, tracking or not.

And, BTW, ads are still there. Tracking still there. Just with cookie popups on top now. The very definition of a bad law: it solved none of the problems it was supposed to fix while adding new ones.
What you're describing is correct for the top-end FPGA products (they're in every 5G base station, and almost every data centre has thousands of them rerouting information), but the low-end ($10 or less) 2k LE FPGAs are in a hell of a lot of products now too. They're fantastic for anything where you need a lot of logic that executes immediately/concurrently (vs sequentially as would with a microcontroller) in a tiny package. Think medical devices, robotics, comms devices, instrumentation, or power controllers.

I'm pretty sure there's an FPGA in most consumer devices now, but as you say they're there for some sort of glue logic - but that's a killer niche unto itself. Schematics can shift and change throughout a design cycle, and you only need to rewrite some HDL rather than go hunting for a different ASIC that's fit for purpose. It's a growing field again as their cost has come right down. They're in the Apple Vision headset, the Steam Deck, modern TVs, and a host of small form factor consumer computing products.

> C is allergic to fat pointers for reasons I don't understand

I do understand not making "some_type *" a fat pointer, since that makes it difficult to interface with another language's fat pointers.

On a library/API level lots of libraries use fat pointers of various incompatible kinds. The best thing C could IMHO do is add a fat pointer variant to the ISO C standard library functions, plus syntactic sugar. Unfortunately this chafes against "conservative" inertia :(

The former seems more like an exploration without initial

Sam went through the garage startup stage in 2005-2007, and again in 2015-2017 with OpenAI. He was good at it -- I saw both firsthand. At OpenAI he was scrounging GPUs when that's what we needed most, and wangled a prototype DGX-1 long before you could buy one. More importantly, he convinced people to leave multi-million dollar salaries at Google & DeepMind for a tiny startup no one had heard of. Now OpenAI needs to build a trillion dollars of infrastructure and lobby governments for favorable regulation, so he's doing whatever that involves. It wouldn't make sense for him to be running Ethernet cables today.

YC's public content focuses on early-stage startups. Should it have more on late-stage startups? Maybe, but it doesn't seem as impactful. The reason to produce public content is that it can scale to reach more people than the partners can talk to one-on-one. There are fewer late-stage startups, so the scaling problem hasn't hit yet. YC follows its own advice of doing things in ways that don't scale until scaling becomes necessary.

> The beauty of Scheme is that the full language only needs 5 keywords and 8 syntactic forms.

Is there a learning resource that covers exactly this for those wanting to write software in lisp in 2024?

As "first principle thinkers" in some ways all hackers crave for that "fundamental building blocks approach", a bit like wanting to know how we go from transistors to full computers and every step along the way. Most of us have made peace with accepting the many abstractions because we're slinging highly abstracted mostly python, and javascript code at startups.

So learning Lisp seems like a nice digestible point to start from along the continuum if indeed there's some eloquent way to learn:
>only needs 5 keywords and 8 syntactic forms.

and then be off to the races, so to speak.
The bird's smart enough not to talk. Otherwise it'd be in even deeper trouble, they are a rarity these days.

Low-latency (e.g. less than 20 lines) Videoswitchers/mixers. There's a huge amount of data (12Gbps for 4K/UHD) per input, with many inputs and outputs, all with extremely tight timing tolerances. If you loosen the latency restrictions you can do a small numbers of inputs on regular PCs (see OBS Studio), but at some point a PC architecture will not scale easily anymore and it is much more efficient to just use FPGAs that will do the required logic in hardware. It's such a small market that for most devices an ASIC is not a option.

It was good enough in 2015/2016 for me to run a startup that allowed people to program in natural language. We even had paying clients though eventually none could stomach the $2000 per month for incremental/on-line training costs.

The only real difference between then and now is that OpenAI's models are significantly better than my models from 2015, and they have that because well, they can afford to pile on more data. TBH, I never even considered using a large proportion of the whole internet as a training set as even remotely possible due to the sheer mind boggling costs.

Even now, to go through about 10% of The Pile would cost me way too much money.
But does that make you great? I think my point of becoming “great” (idk if that ever happened, but I ticked all your boxes) was when I stopped inventing piles of abstractions and started just writing TFC. /\ type of curve.

The best (imo) programmers I’ve met IRL were pragmatic niche dudes and gals and they loved their job and never expressed developer anxiety. Otoh, our generic kind… honestly not sure if it was worth it.
Yeah, I'm unsure why learning without author consent is judged differently between humans & AI. Some folk are justifying the distinction "because scale", as if that explains anything. Why would scale matter? And what's the threshold for scale that turns freely learning into theft? I'm not being facetious; I genuinely don't see the connection.
Low latency video and correct refresh rate are part of why FPGA emulation is more accurate.

The F35, the B21 and the F15EX have vastly different mission profiles. But with stealth and a wide range of combat roles being a focus for this new fighter concept, it would make most sense to look at the lessons learned from the F35. If they were building a long range bomber, they should look at the B21 and if they wanted an air dominance platform, they should look at the F22 or maybe NGAD. The 15EX only really exists to bridge the gap created by a lack of F22s.

And BVR and stealth are not fundamentally incompatible. That's where sensor fusion with AWACS and wingmen comes into play. This is precisely the area that makes the F35 so powerful compared to older gen aircraft.

No, the argument is that Israeli Jews are acting exactly like Germans
did during the Nazi era. They either don't care or they cheer on the
slaughter of innocent civilians. The destruction of Gaza is more
complete than the destruction of Dresden during WWI or of
Warsaw after the ghetto uprising. Yet more than half of all Jewish
Israelis think their army is using too little force! This and many
other frightening statistics indicate that Jewish Israelis are just as
genocidal as the Germans were or the Hutsi.

The difference is that Jewish Israelis have access to contrarian
views. The Germans and Rwandans had no free press and no internet to
access alternative opinions on. That the Jewish Israelis have, but by
and large still choose fascism and murder is despicable.

> You're taking natural emotional responses

This bullshit makes you complicit. You're not in uniform, perhaps, but
you are here online debate-lording your way to the last word. The
Spanish government did not call for genocide after the 2004 Madrid
attack (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Madrid_train_bombings), nor
did the French government after the 2015 Paris attack
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2015_Paris_attacks). Neither
Spain nor France took revenge on the Islamists by carpet-bombing
civilians.

> Israel is within its rights to wage this war, it has good reasons,
it is persecuting it within the norms for similar wars. It is not
committing genocide and "your country is on trial for genocide" is
bullshit and you know it.

No, I don't know it and neither does the court that decided to accept
the case. No, Israel is not "persecuting it within the norms for
similar wars". It currently has displaced almost all Gazans, destroyed
over 50% of all buildings (that much more than Japan and Germany
during WWII), and is starving children to death. If you can't see how
fucking evil that is, you are a lost cause.

Quick aside, I get what you are saying (that is: multiply the original size by 0.7), but as a non-native speaker of English: isn't "shrink by" the opposite of "shrink to", and wouldn't this wording technically imply shrinking to 30% of the original size?

For me it's buggy when it has to reconnect to something... eg. i work on something, close the laptop (suspend to mem), and the next day open it up, wait for an hour or two doing other stuff (so there's enough time to notice that the tcp session is down), and dbeaver shows a progress bar and gets stuck there, until i restart it, and click a zillion times to get to the proper psql table.

Also, the annoying 'new version,...' popups are annoying.

Otherwise, a great gui.
