Quadlets might make me finally stop using docker-compose
Summary: Quadlets, introduced in Podman v4.4, offer a simpler way for systemd to manage containers. They use an easy-to-read ini-style file that can be edited, unlike the unwieldy systemd unit files generated by Podman in the past. Quadlets can replace docker-compose, removing external dependencies and integrating with CoreOS. They also offer automatic container updates from upstream registries and enable container dependencies.

Inside the Matrix: Visualizing Matrix Multiplication, Attention and Beyond
Summary: PyTorch introduces mm, a 3D visualization tool for matrix multiplications (matmuls) and their compositions, enabling better understanding of ML models. The tool is interactive, runs in browsers or notebook iframes, and keeps its state in the URL for easy sharing. It helps build intuition for complex matmuls, attention heads, and other compound expressions. The visualization approach is based on the premise that matrix multiplication is fundamentally a three-dimensional operation, making it easier to understand relationships between argument shapes, result shapes, and shared dimensions.
