9 years ago, we wrote a first cheque for two ex-bankers fed up with the state of the archaic technology that they were forced to use.
Today, that company is a unicorn.
Congrats to @9finHQ on closing a $170M Series C, valuing 9fin at $1.3 billion 🎉

Finding myself going back to RSS/Atom feeds a lot more recently. There's a lot more higher quality longform and a lot less slop intended to provoke. Any product that happens to look a bit different today but that has fundamentally the same incentive structures will eventually converge to the same black hole at the center of gravity well.
We should bring back RSS - it's open, pervasive, hackable.
Download a client, e.g. NetNewsWire (or vibe code one)
Cold start: example of getting off the ground, here is a list of 92 RSS feeds of blogs that were most popular on HN in 2025:

Works great and you will lose a lot fewer brain cells.
I don't know, something has to change.

In case you missed it: we just raised $50m in our Series B round 🎉
This will enable us to invest further in our market-leading AI tech, grow our analytics team, and accelerate expansion in the US.

We’re thrilled that Flexa has recognised 9fin as a truly flexible place to work 🏆
But what does ‘flexible working’ mean to us? And how do we ensure that flexibility and trust empower 9finners to do their best work?

I often read Deep RL papers requiring ~ 100 million training steps for an agent to learn a task. Makes you wonder if we should just use GA.

Excited to see PyTorch (a new Deep Learning library) released! Tried it for few days, it is awesome: imperative!, fast, clean and simple. nitter.cf/PyTorch/status/8217821…
