I wonder why you started with a code-golfed version? That seems original to the main point of the post

original -> orthogonal? I like short code! It's like a joke "this is so easy, 10 loc" :)

The internet has turned into a game of “is it him or is it autocorrect?”

I can’t count how many times I’ve looked up at a line of text to spot check it, type in a couple more letters, hit save without looking, and find later that I sound like I’m having a stroke. Never mind the times I’ve simply forgotten to look. Yes that’s a word, stop trying to replace it.

(Five minutes ago I had to type “laissez-faire” three times. Yesterday it turned “understanding” into god knows what. And if iOS doesn’t stop adding apostrophes to “its” I’m gonna fuckin lose my shit)

MNIST (and OCR) are acronyms that are so well-known to anyone who has taken any kind of intro to ML class that there's no more need to define them in a short blog post than there would be for us to define HTML. I learned about MNIST in 2008, and I was just taking a class on numerical methods as a physics major in Matlab where MNIST was just one project.
