@ykilcher It was disrespectful to the creator of the repo. "It's just a joke" is not a universal excuse for toxic behavior. Especially not in this context -- not sure if you're aware, but we've been facing a coordinated harassment/insults campaign going on since 2017. Do better.

This paper by Hyvรคrinen (2005) is relatively underappreciated. This is where, for the first time, we learned that scores can estimated only from the samples of data distribution. This remarkable result underlies all of modern Diffusion Models.

@francoisfleuret @PyTorch that's easy. first case is simple integer indexing so there is no need for a copy. second case is very general, where a user can request indexes that are far apart -- b[th.tensor([0, 78])] -- due to that it's not possible to return a contiguous "view". so pytorch returns a copy
