gollark: Then, you just move it a little bit toward lower loss (gradient descent).
gollark: You have a big thing of settable parameters determining how you go from input to output. And if you know what the result *should* be (on training data), then as the maths is all "differentiable", you can differentiate it and get the gradient of loss wrt. all the parameters.
gollark: Well, you put your data into something something linear algebra and something something gradient descent, and answers come out.
gollark: I see. This might be one of the ones which can't boot from those, or you just beeized slightly.
gollark: That's one of the boot errors.
