APPLE IS BRINGING SIDELOADING AND ALTERNATE APP STORES TO THE IPHONE

Apple has announced plans to change rules for developers releasing iOS software in the EU. Third-party app stores will be allowed on iOS for the first time. The changes will arrive with iOS 17.6 in March. Marketplaces will have to go through Apple's approval process and can be set as the default on devices. Developers can choose to use Apple's payment services or integrate third-party systems. All apps must still be notarized by Apple, and distribution through third-party marketplaces will still be managed by Apple's systems. Developers will only be allowed to distribute a single version of their app across different app stores.

12 MODERN CSS ONE-LINE UPGRADES

12 one-line CSS upgrades that will help reduce technical debt, remove unnecessary lines of JavaScript, and score easy wins for user experience. Examples include pairing `object-fit` with `aspect-ratio` to ensure images are not distorted when you apply a custom aspect ratio and using `width:fit-content` over `display: inline-block` to reduce an element’s width to the content size - this maintains the same effect while leaving the display value available, thereby not changing the position of the element in the layout.

NEW EMBEDDING MODELS AND API UPDATES

OpenAI is launching new models, reducing prices for GPT-3.5 Turbo, and introducing new ways for developers to manage API keys and understand API usage. The new models include two new embedding models, an updated GPT-4 Turbo preview model, an updated GPT-3.5 Turbo model, and an updated text moderation model. The updated GPT-4 Turbo preview model completes tasks like code generation more thoroughly than previous preview models and is intended to reduce cases of 'laziness'. OpenAI plans to launch GPT-4 Turbo with vision in general availability in the coming months.

RESEARCHERS SHOWCASE A SPEEDY NEW APPROACH TO PRINTING METAL

A team at MIT has announced a new method of 3D printing metal that prioritizes printing speeds and scale over resolution. It is capable of printing large aluminum parts at least 10 times faster than comparable metal additive manufacturing processes. The technique utilizes a bed of 100-micron glass beads to create a structure into which molten aluminum is deposited. The beads can stand intense temperatures while allowing heat to quickly dissipate. While the final product doesn't offer near the pinpoint accuracy of some other methods, the technique's quick turnaround makes it a candidate for revolutionizing the way metal printing and metal forming are currently handled.

AIRBORNE INFECTION RISK PLUMMETS IN FACE OF METAL NANOPARTICLE SPRAY

A new sprayable coating applied to standard air filters may help protect against airborne respiratory infections like measles, influenza, SARS, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and COVID-19. It provides a greater than 99% antiviral activity while also completely stopping bacterial growth. The spray doesn't interfere with the effectiveness of filters doing their normal job of removing other particles from the air. There are many other similar technologies in the works, but they will all need more development before they become commercially available.
