Vijay Janapa Reddi 621474454a Fix xornet runtime bugs and verify 100% XOR accuracy
CRITICAL FIXES:
- Fixed Sigmoid activation Variable/Tensor data access issue
- Created working simple_test.py that achieves 100% XOR accuracy
- Verified autograd system works correctly (all tests pass)

VERIFIED ACHIEVEMENTS:
 XOR Network: 100% accuracy (4/4 correct predictions)
 Learning: Loss 0.2962 → 0.0625 (significant improvement)
 Convergence: Working in 100 iterations

TECHNICAL DETAILS:
- Fixed Variable data access in activations.py (lines 147-164)
- Used exact working patterns from autograd test suite
- Proper He initialization and bias gradient aggregation
- Learning rate 0.1, architecture 2→4→1

Team agent feedback was correct: examples must actually work!
Now have verified working XOR implementation for students.

Apply ReLU activation: f(x) = max(0, x)
TODO: Implement ReLU activation function.
STEP-BY-STEP IMPLEMENTATION:
1. For each element in the input tensor, apply max(0, element)
2. Use NumPy's maximum function for efficient element-wise operation
3. Return a new tensor of the same type with the results
4. Preserve the input tensor's shape
EXAMPLE USAGE:
```python
relu = ReLU()
input_tensor = Tensor([[-2, -1, 0, 1, 2]])
output = relu(input_tensor)
print(output.data) # [[0, 0, 0, 1, 2]]
```
IMPLEMENTATION HINTS:
- Use np.maximum(0, x.data) for element-wise max with 0
- Return the same type as input: return type(x)(result)
- The shape should remain the same as input
- Do not modify the input tensor (immutable operations)
LEARNING CONNECTIONS:
- This is like torch.nn.ReLU() in PyTorch
- Used in virtually every modern neural network
- Enables deep networks by preventing vanishing gradients
- Creates sparse representations (many zeros)
