mysterious software bugs I encounter, like, daily

  • if I add/destroy enough video tags (i.e. in periodic output display from a long-running jupyter notebook) Safari will eventually stop rendering all video tags across all pages until I reboot the browser
  • if I interleave autocast and no_grad scopes in the wrong way (I think - autocast with no_grad inside followed by not-no-grad stuff?) pytorch will silently disable grad for the entire autocast scope
  • if I edit colab notebooks (specific ones? on a specific connection? idk), I intermittently get "this notebook has been modified" conflict-resolution dialogs despite being the only editor of the notebook
  • if I don't manually disable the collaborative extension on jupyterlab, it will intermittently teleport my cursor focus back to the first cell in the notebook

need to eventually find repro instructions and chase all of these down to fix
