You can look at those vectors and see that the position of the 1 is the subscript, without explanation. The ^ could do with an explanation that it means unit vector, but if you've met vectors before you likely know that (maybe that's elsewhere in the book, but a quick search didn't find it).
It is perhaps addressed to a different crowd?
I have big pockets so for me it’s probably pocketable. But I still would have a phone. So I’ve got a duo on order with a year lease so I’m not stuck if I don’t think it’s great.
I have to confess to considering a mini with cellular instead of a phone altogether though.

But fyi for others this is one version behind and missing these updates:
V1.3 (May 12, 2026)
Many typos and phrasing fixes with the help of LLMs.
Section 3.8. Added a section about large-scale training- Understanding deep learning by Prince[1]. Has both theoretical and programming exercises.
- Deep learning - Foundations and concepts by Bishop[2].
- Deep learning architectures - mathematical approach - Calin[3].
- Mathematical theory of deep learning by Petersen et al[4]. Only handful of exercises each chapter.
- Dive into deep learning[5]. This one is more practical programming hands-on. The exercises is a mix between programming exercises and theoretical.
- EECS 182/282A | Deep Neural Networks 2025 (not a book but a course by Berkley)[6]. I only skimmed the assignments, but they seem very interesting. A mix of theoretical and practical.
I think Bishop is probably the best one for theoretical exercises, balancing between not too difficult but not too easy either. However, if you also want programming exercises, Prince has lots of those. Berkley also seems very interesting, modern and encompassing.

Is there any one who have recommended books on the attention architecture specifically? I have been interested in that for a long time but never gotten around to actually studying it.

Let me tell you about one of the greatest book series of our generation: Dungeon Crawler Carl, By Matt Dinniman
https://mattdinniman.com/books/
From the Dust jacket: The apocalypse will be televised!
You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what. READ MORE
Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show.
Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.
