Hi HN! I'm Anand, and I’m launching CQ2 (https://cq2.co) – a tool for thoughtful and coherent discussions. 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…

Hi everyone! I’m excited to open source GritQL, a Rust CLI for searching and transforming source code. GritQL comes from my experiences with conducting large scale refactors and migrations. Usually, I would start exploring a codebase with grep. This is easy to start with, but most migrations end up accumulating additional requirements like ensuring the right packages are imported and excluding cases which don’t have a viable migration path. Eventually, to build a complex migration, I usually ended up having to write a full codemod program with a tool like jscodeshift. This comes with its own…

Hello HN, Talk2Arxiv is a small open-source RAG application I've been building for a few weeks. To use it just prepend any arxiv.org link with 'talk2' to load the paper into a responsive RAG chat application (e.g. www.arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762 -> www.talk2arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762). All implementation details are in the GitHub. Currently, because I've opted to extract text from the PDF of the paper rather than reading the LaTeX source code (since I wanted to build a more generic PDF RAG in the process), it struggles with symbolic text / mathematics, and sometimes fails…

We're excited to release PaperQA2, an open source RAG library specialized to work with the scientific literature. We've seen some really compelling results with it (https://paper.wikicrow.ai), like superhuman performance at question answering and summarization when compared with expert scientists. PaperQA2 is a major overhaul of our prior PaperQA system, it includes automatically obtained rich metadata for each paper, a CLI to work with local papers directly, a local full-text search engine for keywords searches over PDF files, a state-of-the-art algorithm for LLM-based re-ranking…
