I tried
torch.zeros(5,5).normal_(torch.manual_seed(0), 0.0, 1.0)
but I got the error message:

TypeError: normal_ received an invalid combination of arguments - got (torch._C.Generator, float, float), but expected one of:
[…]
* (torch.Generator generator, float mean, float std)
didn’t match because some of the arguments have invalid types: (torch._C.Generator, float, float)

This looks like a very nasty mistake: You accidental have two generator classes incompatible with one another. Can you fix this?
I’m using pytorch 0.3
