Was not expecting to be on the front page of HN! Please feel free to leave feedback on the website (i.e., mobile experience, content, quiz, etc.) Thanks!

I didn't understand why a vector is defined as a = torch.tensor([[3], [4], [5], [5]]) and then, a paragraph below, it's a = torch.tensor([1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0]) or b = torch.tensor([1.0, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125])

Also someone might be puzzled by the use of the tensor method while the notion of a tensor has not yet been introduced. I understand that it's quite difficult to introduce all concepts at once, though.

Anyway, thanks for the resource and keep it up!

thank you for the feedback! Ah, I can see how switching from column form to row form right away is confusing, especially if someone isn't familiar with all the notation and the code yet. Same with introducing the tensor method without talking about what a tensor is until later. Thanks for pointing this out! I'll make some adjustments.

Just finished working through part 1 and subscribed! Thank you so much! I've always been interested in learning ML but the math has been the hurdle for me that seems to have been assumed knowledge elsewhere. Saw the title and was immediately hooked! Can't wait for more.

I'm working on this series of articles for folks like you! So glad to hear that you found it useful. Stay tuned for part 2!
