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

I'm Roman, co-founder of 9 Mothers. We're building AI weapon systems in Austin, TX. Our first product is designed to stop group 1 suicide drones. We started in 2025 and are still a small team of fewer than 20 people.

We're hiring for a lot of roles: software, robotics, ee, perception. I'm primarily focused on robotics, so if you have a strong background in robotics, reach out to me directly at (name)@9mothers.com.

All roles are here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/9-mothers

9 Mothers Defense | Robotics Engineers | Austin TX | Full-time | ONSITE

We're a YC company building AI-driven turrets to stop hostile drones - where robotics needs F1-level speed.

We're looking for smart, T-shaped teammates: experts in some part of robotics who are happy to jump in wherever needed.

U.S. persons only.

We're building AI-driven turrets that stop hostile drones - where robotics needs F1-level speed.

We're looking for smart, T-shaped teammates: people who are experts in one area but happy to jump in wherever needed. Our software team is small, so every member makes a real impact.

If you want to write motor control in Rust, optimize camera processing with custom CUDA kernels on Jetson, or rework a transformer-based tracker to handle small objects - you can do that here, and much more.

US persons only

@superfist Lol, nice observation :). And "we love them both" is definitely the right answer. It really comes down to whoever dares to implement it. I love Rust for its huge ecosystem and the ability to write high-level code when needed, and I love Zig for its simplicity and how easily it works with C/C++ libraries. I honestly can't choose just one. This is just an example of a project we have sitting in the backlog.

Haha, they see themselves as ‘good cops,’ deciding what content is acceptable and what isn’t. It’s not even about copyright—it’s about what they think is good for users and what isn’t.

And in the process of playing ‘police’ they end up taking down one of the best videos explaining how Bitcoin works.

I started a mini-SaaS focused on identifying what content/scripts are blocked on websites by AdBlockers, Firefox Tracking Protection, and similar tools.

I initially aimed for an cheap monthly pricing plan and many clients, but that strategy hasn't been successful so far.

However, in the process of finding clients, I found two 'enterprise' customers. I built a custom on-premise version for them and charging $300 per month for each, which technically sums to over $500. Not sure it is what I wanted )

Hi, I love your YouTube channel! I watched a bunch of videos from it last year! Thank you!

BTW "Factorio: Space Age" was release a few days ago. Personally, I'm going to spend whole Sunday playing it :)

Without Gorhill's uBlock Origin, the internet would be a really awful place. Thank you, Raymond!

Working on validating a startup idea I had 12 years ago. It's like Pingdom for ads, periodically checking if your ads are being blocked by AdBlockers.

I always thought the idea was somewhat weak, but not enough to discard entirely. So, along with a friend, I built a prototype over the last two weeks, and now we're trying to validate it: https://scanningfox.com/

I'm enjoying using Elixir for this project. As a long-time Erlang dev, I was initially skeptical about Elixir, but Phoenix.LiveView has changed my opinion.

Funny video, but it would be much better if uBlock worked on Safari )

I only got FFT after following the course `Introduction to Graduate Algorithms`( Georgia Tech) and implementing everything from the lectures in python. It is really good course:

https://edstem.org/us/courses/47529/lessons/80063/slides/440...

You could try `https://github.com/jianfch/stable-ts`, it's an improvement for OpenAI Whisper. It does pretty good job.

MiniZinc is high-level modeling language, before using it I'd suggest taking course https://www.coursera.org/learn/discrete-optimization where you could use/create different solvers.

Only after it makes sense to take https://www.coursera.org/learn/basic-modeling and https://www.coursera.org/learn/advanced-modeling courses.

If you want a quick start read really good tutorial on official website https://www.minizinc.org/doc-2.7.2/en/part_2_tutorial.html and play with examples at online playground https://play.disopt.com/ or locally installing MiniZincIDE.

If you want to train the Donut, check out this notebook on Kaggle. It trains Donut to read plots for a competition. The notebook contains full pipeline for finetuning. https://www.kaggle.com/code/nbroad/donut-train-benetech

Yes, I'm using for language learning. Usually via tool `https://github.com/sigoden/aichat` with different roles that I've created. For example for grammar ChatGPT generates bunch of examples for specific grammar rules, which I memorize.

Belarus from the start of war allowed to move Russia army to Ukraine. And Belarus was helping Russia with transportation, hospitals, evacuations, etc.

Today Belarus Army joins invasion.

Just thank you so much!

Bayraktars are good against Russia. Check out the video. Bayraktar destoys "Бук" - miss advanced Russian anti air-system https://m.censor.net/ua/news/3319858/bayiraktar_znyschyv_buk...

I hate word "conflict" here. It's a war.
