btw copy pasted your idea in to supergrok, and learnt about Niri! Great use case, thanks!

Why: bipedal maybe not, but non-flying can usually carry more.

Well humanoid / non-flying robotic weapons are already being used, and have been for a while. e.g. Zelenskyy https://x.com/KaterynaLis/status/2043827043863863404?s=20 talking about their successful use recently.

I get 10g symmetric in Austin for $150/m. I had Cox before, and it was $180ish for 1g down and ~50mb up. Things are improving!

9 Mothers YC P26 | Robotics / Software Engineering | Austin, ONSITE | $150-400k + equity + benefits | 9mothers.com

I'm Russ, one of the founders of 9 Mothers. We're making AI weapon systems out of Austin, TX. Our first product is for stopping group 1 suicide drones. We started in 2025 - still a small team under 20 people. We're hiring for a lot of roles, but mostly in software and robotics.

Cool! Are you interested in defense? If so, we're based in Austin, TX and in the current YC batch.

Are you interested in more robotics / defense?

Ditto. Though, I fixed my M1. I have an M4 max for work; the nano screen is a win. The perf is better, but it's really marginal unless actually doing stuff with the GPU, then it's super slow compared to a decent GPU anyway (i.e. h100, gb etc)

One of our engineers built a web-app crawler from scratch (why? enable users to quickly build a QA test plan). Jiri researched existing crawlers first and found nothing: he wrote about why build from scratch, plus technical challenges he ran into.

Gitea. Gitlab (ish?).

Is that true? There is obviously some creative work in connector design - optimizing for looks, robustness to damage, dirt, easy of use, reliability technically, etc.

Unfortunately this actually is believable. SMH.

We love them both...

Some customers (e.g. DoD, gov) basically exclusively use it, so you'd have to if you ever interacted with them. This is a win.

I get consistently ~1.3-1.6gbps on fast.com with similar setup (10g fiber, UDM Pro, E7, etc). I think where I live there are very few / zero folks on 6ghz...so, win.

Hitting a pet / animal should be treated the same as hitting a child? No.

It's different as a) they did offer it for free and b) have to maintain it for the closed version.

However, this is also a classic move, so shouldn't be unexpected behavior these days...
