Backpropagation

> Chapter 1 solved XOR with weights derived by hand. This chapter starts from small, deliberately unremarkable initial weights and lets gradient descent find a solution on its own -- average loss falls from 0.634543 to 0.000278 over 5000 epochs, landing at 100% accuracy with no hand-derivation at all.
