Implement Stable Sigmoid, Softmax, and Scaled Dot-Product Attention

Quick Overview

Implement numerically stable sigmoid, softmax, and single-head scaled dot-product attention using elementary arithmetic and loops. The discussion covers extreme inputs, tensor shapes, row-wise normalization, optional masks, scaling, complexity, tests, and the distinction between reference code and optimized kernels.
