gwern.net A Website by Gwern Branwen www.gwern.net The goal of these pages is not to be a model of concision, maximizing entertainment value per word, or to preach to a choir by elegantly repeating a conclusion.

What I am doing is explaining why I decided what I did to myself and noting down everything I found interesting about it for future reference.
