APPLE A17 PRO CHIP IS THE STAR OF THE FIRST IPAD MINI UPDATE IN THREE YEARS

Apple quietly announced a new version of the iPad mini via a press release yesterday. The seventh-generation device looks mostly identical to its predecessor, but it features an Apple A17 Pro chip, the same processor used in the iPhone 15 Pro. The new iPad mini is available for preorder now starting at $499 for the base 128GB model. It will be the only iPad mini capable of supporting Apple Intelligence, which will be rolling out within the next few weeks. The device will only work with either the Apple Pencil Pro or the cheaper USB-C Apple Pencil and not the first- or second-generation Apple Pencils.

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T FORGET TO OPTIMIZE THE DATA LAYOUT

The way data is organized in memory (data layout) can impact a program's performance. Choosing the right data layout, such as Array of Structures (AoS) or Structure of Arrays (SoA), can optimize cache line access and leverage vectorized instructions (SIMD) for faster execution. SoA, for example, can be much faster for reading operations, especially when combined with lightweight compression techniques like frame-of-reference encoding.

SPACEX TELLS FCC IT HAS A PLAN TO MAKE STARLINK ABOUT 10 TIMES FASTER

SpaceX has submitted an application to the US Federal Communications Commission seeking approval for changes to Starlink that will enable gigabit-per-second broadband service. The changes include lowering the altitude of satellites to increase the potential maximum number of orbital planes and satellites per plane. SpaceX plans to send 29,988 or less second-generation satellites into orbit - the FCC has so far approved 7,500 Gen2 satellites. To obtain approval for the changes, SpaceX will have to demonstrate that the changes won't negatively affect other spectrum users and satellite operators.

SUSTAINABLE BUILDING EFFORT REACHES NEW HEIGHTS WITH WOODEN SKYSCRAPERS

Mass timber replaces steel beams and concrete with manufactured wood elements that can extend more than half the length of a football field. The process of creating the elements involves gluing smaller pieces of wood together in layers under pressure in large specialized presses. Beams created with this process can be stronger than steel by weight. Mass timber buildings tend to be manufactured like automobiles, with all the separate pieces shipped to a final location for assembly, making the building process more simple.

THE EXCITING RESEARCH THAT MAY CURE PARKINSON'S

GeneCode, a pharmaceutical company, received a €16 million funding option from the European Innovation Council Accelerator last year to support the development of a novel drug designed to combat neurodegeneration in Parkinson's patients. Preliminary evidence suggests that the drug may alleviate symptoms, protect neurons from further damage, and help restore neurons for a healthier, longer life. The drug binds to receptors in the brain and sends chemical signals that stimulate dopamine production, which helps neurons with axons stay active and maintain synaptic connections with other neurons. GeneCode has almost completed animal experiments, but it still needs to certify that the drug can be consistently and safely produced to ensure future quality assurance and perform toxicology studies before the drug can begin clinical trials in humans.

TECH ALLIANCE WANTS TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO EXPORT, IMPORT PASSKEYS

Passkeys are currently confined to companies' software ecosystems, forcing users to create duplicate keys. The FIDO Alliance, an association made up of the top tech companies, has announced an industry effort for a new protocol and format for exchanging passkey data. This would allow users to share and sync the same collection of keys across platforms. The draft specifications for the protocol focus on ways to prevent hackers from abusing the interoperability to steal passkeys.
