Given the monthly tradition of someone running into issues with pytorch not working cross platform, or rendering their GHA cache unusable by downloading 15GB of torch releases just to use one, I thought this may be of interest: https://github.com/pytorch/builder/pull/1457 If my understanding is right, this change landing might be the missing piece (along with them backporting hashes to s3) to solving the various weird issues that come with pytorch and only pytorch. Might be worth trying the "obvious" solutions again afterwards and seeing if this allows them to work

Speaking of which - maybe something something pytorch would make a good Recipe™️ on the blog. I've never used it, so I'm not the person to say anything about it - but as indicated, I've watched it come up time and time again

It's closer to that tradition than you might realise: that's authored by @bitter-ability-32190, potentially specifically in response to issues Pants/PEX have with managing the unusual pytorch lib!

As you can see, Meta isnt the most responsive 😔
I honestly think almost weekly of exposing an alternative pytorch index that provides this functionality, and then redirects to the real index for actual downloads

@bitter-ability-32190 Thanks so much for that PR. It's potentially the difference between us being able to use Pants
