you know how it's never the compiler? or BLAS or whatever?

welp. it's either pytorch or the sparse matrix library, nondeterministically shitting itself on Apple Silicon. (currently working on running a Linux ARM test, but Intel macOS works.)

I sometimes add tests to my code base that just check that some dependency is behaving the way I expect. Useful for testing (and documenting) assumptions, flushing out the odd bug or unexpected behavior, protecting against future dependency regressions, etc.

So LensKit is getting a test for PyTorch's sparse matrix-vector multiply routine, I guess. https://github.com/lenskit/lkpy/pull/408

I really want a modern RPG like GTA but I don't want to be locked into being a criminal.

@trochee @danhon @Adam_Cadmon1 @marthawells 2 and Death of the Outsider are great! (I haven't played the first)

If an older game is an option, I highly recommend Beyond Good and Evil — core gameplay mechanic is sneaking into factories to photographically document the Big Conspiracy.
