Now that we've chopped up the ingredients (data) into bite-sized pieces (feature vectors), it's time to mix them together with some oil (weights), salt (biases), and spices (activations).

- Whisk the mixture until it's smooth (forward pass).
- Add a pinch of magic (regularization) to prevent the cake from getting too soggy (overfitting).
