The consent protocol for private-company M&A intelligence. Find off-market deals 3-6 months before the market.
Every week Xenaris reads the companies that matter to your mandate, from thousands of public and under-indexed data points, and keeps score on whether it was right. Every claim cites its source. No card for the first scan. Names and sources open once you are signed in. Registry filings, leadership exits, a hiring freeze nobody announced, a partner who went quiet. The signals are public and legal - just never indexed by the tools you pay for. Each one is cited to its source and scored against what actually happened next. We started Xenaris with a simple idea: a deal team should know a company is ready to sell before the banker calls - and the system that told them should be graded on whether…from xenaris.io

My 4th failed startup (2nd due to user acquisition costs)2012 · condoly.com · ▲11Hello HN, Later today I'll be shutting down the servers and moving on. This is my 5th startup and the 4th failure. The reason is very simple: I understimated the cost of user acquisition. This is the second time this happened. The dozens of users actually love the software and are using it on a daily basis. I'm ruthless when it comes to coding and money. So, if you are building a startup: do not ignore how much money you will have to spend to get a user. If you are not able to find that number, something could be wrong with your model. Maybe someone smarter than me could write something…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
