Learning tip: Build tiny models to build intuition for math in AI
psuraj28 · x · 2026-08-28
This is a discussion on AI learning methods. The author suggests avoiding getting bogged down in deep math initially.

The author believes building intuition first through practice makes connecting the math later easier.
