what are some other tutorials for implementing a toy version of a hard thing in a short amount of time? Like https://implement-dns.wizardzines.com or https://raytracing.github.io

I’m especially interested in the “in a short amount of time” aspect, I think nand2tetris is extremely cool but you definitely can’t do it in 3 days.

If possible I'd love to hear about a project you personally did and how long it took you.

@b0rk @bert_hubert’s neural network blog post / guide! I don’t have the link on hand but I’m sure he does :)

Hello Deep Learning - Bert Hubert's writings

A from scratch GPU-free introduction to modern machine learning. Many tutorials exist already of course, but this one aims to really explain what is going on, from the ground up. Also, we’ll develop the demo until it is actually useful on real life data which you can supply yourself. Other documents start out from the (very impressive) PyTorch environment, or they attempt to math it up from first principles. Trying to understand deep learning via PyTorch is like trying to learn aerodynamics from flying an Airbus A380.
