Klarna’s IPO pops, raising $1.4B, with Sequoia as the biggest winner

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-10-01 15:11:44

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

Requiem for an Exit

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-05 13:08:20

Between 1994 and 2004, Frode Oldereid and Thomas Kvam created a series of robotic installations exploring the intersections between technology, ideology, and collective memory. These robots evoked the aesthetics of political mass movements, echoing the fractured language of 20th-century totalitarianisms and its countercultures. Two decades later, the artists revisit these themes in Requiem for an Exit. At the center of the installation stands a towering robotic figure, four meters tall—a skelet

What Is the Fourier Transform?

news.ycombinator.com Shalma Wegsman 2025-10-10 03:11:09

As we listen to a piece of music, our ears perform a calculation. The high-pitched flutter of the flute, the middle tones of the violin, and the low hum of the double bass fill the air with pressure waves of many different frequencies. When the combined sound wave descends through the ear canal and into the spiral-shaped cochlea, hairs of different lengths resonate to the different pitches, separating the messy signal into buckets of elemental sounds.

If you were trying to learn how to get other people to do what you want, you might use some of the techniques found in a book like Influence: The Power of Persuasion. Now, a pre-print study out of the University of Pennsylvania suggests that those same psychological persuasion techniques can frequently "convince" some LLMs to do things that go against their system prompts.

The repercussions of missing an Ampersand in C++ & Rust Copying vs Passing by reference TL;DR There’s a funny typo that causes someone to copy data instead of “referencing” in C++. Rust is nice because it provides defaults that protect you from some of these “dumb” mistakes. In this example, I’ll go over how the “move by default” can prevent us from introducing this subtle behavior.
