I just pointed out that this is a very basic code. It's definitely not something I would use in any real life scenario(see other posts itt). And if you want to learn about NN you'd be better off googling something like 'backpropagation example' as this project does is virtually not documented. I personally don't find it useful and it takes up the space that can be filled with more interesting content. How is that 'shitposting'?

It's not shitposting.

One of the core requirements of modern deep neural networks is performance. The high accuracy you get from very fast training over large amounts of data is the only reason to look at neural networks over very fast, very accurate systems like XGBoost.

If something doesn't deliver that, then it's worth pointing out that it is inadequate for anything but toy tasks.

Please make your point without gratuitous inflammation like “shitposting”. Its effect on the threads should be apparent, and we're trying for better here.

There is a ton of much better tutorials online (e.g. [1]) if you want a NN 101 course.
