Documenting my pov while building this. The objective is to help people understand neural networks from absolute scratch. No pytorch. No numpy. Just maths and C.

Should be readable for anyone who knows programming even if you are not familiar with machine learning or neural networks at all.

Moreover, building this from scratch, and in C, does not mean that the code and the APIs will not be user friendly. In fact, we'll create the needed abstractions and show just how easy it is to code and train different neural network architectures with this tiny library.

There is a clear set of instructions (for each pixel: change RGB value to new_value = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B) that you can code in your favorite programming language and create a function that will solve this task. The function will be determinisitic, giving you exact predictable outputs for your input images.

There are other tasks, where it's pretty much impossible to come up with a set of instructions needed to get the output from the input. And therefore, you cannot write the code for them.
