 Navigate to the `src/custom_conv.py` module.
-- Start in `my_conv_direct` and implement the convolution following the equation above. Test your function with vscode tests or `nox -s test`.
-- Go to `src/waldo.py` and make sure that `my_conv_direct` is used for convolution. This script finds waldo in the image using your convolution function. Execute it with `python ./src/waldo.py` in your terminal.
-- If your code passes the pytest but is too slow to find waldo feel free to use `scipy.signal.correlate2d` in `src/waldo.py` instead of your convolution function.

+- First create a list of starting indices for each row in the output. These are the upper left corners of each kernel application.
+- Then create a list of offsets within the kernel. These are the indices that need to be added to each starting index to get the full set of indices for each kernel application.

 You can test the function with `nox -s test` by importing `my_conv` in `tests/test_conv.py` and changing `my_conv_direct` to `my_conv` in the test function. Make sure that `src/waldo.py` now uses `my_conv` for convolution and run the script again.

+Open `src/mnist.py` and implement MNIST digit recognition with `CNN` in `torch`. Go through the TODOs in the file. You will see that a lot of the code is really similar or the same as in yesterday's exercise.

 - Reuse yesterday's `Net` class, add convolutional layers and pooling. `torch.nn.Conv2d` and `torch.nn.MaxPool2d` will help you.
