Great work hunting the bug down the stack. The writeup is top notch. I wish I documented some of the nastiest bugs I found in such detail.

Funnily, only a few days ago I was thinking about just how far the field has come since 2014 or so when you'd build a computational graph, initialize weights manually and so on, versus now, where you just have to use a library like Ultralytics or HuggingFace most of the time. Then I thought about just how many deep, undetected bugs there would be in this mountain of abstraction. Bugs that make the computation invalid.
