I made my neural network work
It sounds stupid, but I can honestly say that figuring out how neural nets work and making one of my own has kind of been a life-goal, and now I've finally done it.  I have a toy network that achieves 95% classification accuracy (given relatively few epochs) on a very simple non-linear rule.  Yay!  Now I finally feel like I can talk about neural networks and training regimes like I know what I'm talking about! =)

For the longest, longest time -- like months -- it was working, but not well: it was achieving ~75% accuracy on the same simple task.  When I tried common NN libraries under similar circumstances, they were hitting 95%, which seemed more reasonable.  I finally figured out what the problem was: I wasn't using a bias unit, and apparently those libraries were -- I assume anyway, because now that I've added a bias unit, my accuracy jumped to a comparable 95%, which is what I thought it should be.

I would post it, but it's not good code.  I'm just thrilled it works.

Congrats, I don't really know what this means, but I know neural network basically means brain, so I'm going to guess you've created an AI brain, and that sounds rad.
