My food tracker needs a barcode scanner, my barcode scanner needs a neural network, my neural network needs to be trained, training needs convolutions, convolutions need gradients, ow ow ow ow.

I trained a convolutional neural network with no dependenciesBut like, how well does it actually work?Arc raiders crafting/savlage/recycling utilitymalloc is for babies and losersWriting code to generate more codeFine, low level programming is hard sometimes. But this bug was neat :DWe always get distracted IMMEDIATELYZigs new IO interface is pretty neatPut the tiles in the box little broIm a zig contributor (again)!My color correction isnt working good...Wayland keyboard input handling
