techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-10-26 00:11:44

It’s been a long road for the 20-year-old fintech Klarna to make it to an IPO. But on Wednesday, the company successfully landed on the New York Stock Exchange, having raised $1.4 billion, largely for its existing investors, rather than itself. The fintech giant sold shares at $40, above its announced range of $35 to $37, and came out of the gate with a $15 billion valuation. Shares popped, opening at $52, though quickly settling down to around $46 mid-day. Of the 34.3 million shares Klarna so

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-10-26 00:12:11

With Anduril’s help, Australia has done what the U.S. Navy has struggled to accomplish: transition an extra-large undersea drone from white board to under contract in just three years. Anduril announced Tuesday that a fleet of its XL uncrewed undersea vehicle (XLUUV) “Ghost Shark” will begin operations in Australian waters next year under a massive AUS$1.7 billion (US$1.1 billion) contract.

Anti-AGI Protester Now on Day Nine of Hunger Strike in Front of Anthropic Headquarters

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-26 02:23:08

Artificial general intelligence, the prospect of a synthetic entity meeting or exceeding the cognitive power of a human, is a polarizing topic. For some, like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, it's a mission statement — the lodestar guiding the company's $300 billion operations. For others, like activist and organizer Guido Reichstadter, it's an existential threat to be resisted at any cost. Reichstader is now on day nine of a grueling anti-AGI hunger strike in front of the San Francisco headquarters of

Mysterious Object Headed Into Our Star System Is Now Changing Color

As interstellar object 3I/ATLAS approaches its closest point to the Sun next month, the mysterious visitor continues to fascinate astronomers. The object, which is broadly believed to be a comet that came to us from outside the solar system, has already been observed changing shape. Its tail has grown longer, and its coma — a large atmosphere of gas and dust that surrounds its nucleus — has become more pronounced. Those are expected characteristics from a comet ripping by the Sun at ludicrous s

Jeff Kaufman shared some data around contra dance attendance as a function of requirements on wearing surgical masks. He compares this data to survey data, which is a useful way to validate in both directions. I found the plot compelling for a different reason – depending on how we look at it, we can draw wildly different conclusions from it. On the one hand, if we draw boxes around consecutive pairs of dances, it’s fairly obvious that mask-optional dances are more popular. Tickmarks at the top

Reproducibility is a bedrock of scientific progress. However, it’s remarkably difficult to get reproducible results out of large language models. For example, you might observe that asking ChatGPT the same question multiple times provides different results. This by itself is not surprising, since getting a result from a language model involves “sampling”, a process that converts the language model’s output into a probability distribution and probabilistically selects a token.
