Saronic raises $600M to mass-produce autonomous warships

techcrunch.com Charles Rollet 2025-06-04 12:11:17

Austin-based defense startup Saronic has raised a $600 million Series C to build an autonomous ship factory called “Port Alpha,” it announced yesterday, quadrupling its valuation to $4 billion from its last round. Investor Elad Gil led the round, with General Catalyst joining existing investors Andreessen Horowitz, 8VC, and Caffeinated Capital, among others. That should make Saronic the second, possibly third, most valuable defense tech startup in the U.S. after Anduril’s last round valued it

Rumor mill: The DRAM industry could be in for a major shake-up this year. Sources claim production of mature DRAM solutions may be winding down as the largest memory manufacturers shift their focus almost entirely to high-performance chips. If true, the move could have significant consequences for the market and end customers alike. The "big three" in the DRAM industry are preparing to end production of DDR3 and DDR4 memory solutions this year. Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron are repo

Killer Asteroid Could Be Headed for Some of the World's Most Populous Cities

futurism.com Unknown 2025-06-04 15:25:49

According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a 3.1 percent chance of colliding with our planet on December 22, 2032. That makes it the highest-threat asteroid ever detected, as Euronews reports. As of late January, the probability was sitting at just 1.3 percent, which then rose to 2.1 percent last week before rising yet again. Worse yet, the space agency suggests the asteroid could hit densely populated areas of our planet — if it were to make an impact just un

Broken legs and ankles heal better if you walk on them within weeks

news.ycombinator.com Lydia Denworth 2025-06-04 08:36:06

Twenty years ago my husband, Mark, broke his left ankle and was in a cast and on crutches for nearly two months. Last year he broke the other ankle. But this time, after surgery, his doctor surprised us by instructing Mark to walk on it two weeks later. It turns out the standard advice to stay off a broken leg bone for at least six weeks is based less on scientific evidence and more on cultural caution—physicians like to play it safe. But now studies show that complications are no more likely w

Trump’s Pick for NASA Chief Hints at Expected Shift Toward Mars

gizmodo.com Adam Kovac 2025-06-04 16:25:06

If Jared Isaacman becomes NASA’s administrator, as he’s likely to do, the agency will prioritize Mars over the Moon under the Trump administration, judging by some of his first public comments on the matter. Jared Isaacman has been active on social media since Trump named him as his choice to become the U.S. space agency’s next administrator, which he did in early December. But the astronaut mostly stuck to posting about flying planes, his payments company Shift4, and retweeting images of space

What It Took to Bring Those Viral Star Trek Short Films to Life

In the past few years, there’s been plenty of Star Trek to talk about—new shows starting, older shows coming to their ends, the franchise’s future on screens big and small alike (although not always entirely successfully). But for some Trek diehards, a peculiar string of numbers is all that has been on their lips: 765874. That number—the purported Starfleet serial number of Yeoman J. M. Colt from the original Star Trek pilot episode “The Cage”—is the title that has been given to a series of sho

After raising $1 billion, fintech Varo closes another $29 million, replaces founder CEO

techcrunch.com Mary Ann Azevedo 2025-06-04 16:59:53

Fintech Varo has been hoping to raise a $55 million Series G round but has, so far, closed on $29 million to date, according to a recent SEC filing. Varo declined to comment on this new round but the fintech has raised just over $1 billion in funding since its 2015 inception, according to PitchBook. It wouldn’t be the first time its fundraising didn’t go as hoped for. In 2023, Varo raised a $50 million equity round at a lower valuation ($1.85 billion post-money) than its massive and, it said,

The Humane AI Pin debacle is a reminder that AI alone doesn’t make a compelling product

engadget.com Unknown 2025-06-04 19:01:19

The demise of Humane is perhaps the most predictable tech story of 2025. The company tried to build some buzz around its AI Pin in late 2023, marketing the device as a tiny replacement for smartphones and playing up the fact that Humane’s co-founders were former Apple employees. The problem was that it wasn’t really clear what the AI Pin would do to justify its $700 asking price (plus a $24/month subscription). It didn’t take long for things to spiral out of control.
