Neural network training makes beautiful fractals | Jascha’s blog
This blog is intended to be a place to share ideas and results that are too weird, incomplete, or off-topic to turn into an academic paper, but that I think may be important. Let me know what you think! Contact links to the left.
My five year old daughter came home from kindergarten a few months ago, and told my partner and I that math was stupid (!). We have since been working (so far successfully) to make her more excited about all things math, and more proud of her math accomplishments. One success we've had is that she is now very interested in fractals in general, and in particular enjoys watching deep zoom videos into [Mandelbrot](https://youtu.be/8cgp2WNNKmQ?si=PD7W2q4qDNY9AgzD) and [Mandelbulb](https://youtu.be/BLmAV6O_ea0?si=4iyAFMgzde0mTmsq) fractal sets, and eating [romanesco broccoli](https://en.wikipedia.o
