                    mb.a[0] = training_sample.input_activations.clone();

                    self.backprop(mb, cost_function, known_classification);
                }
                let (dws, dbs) = self.calculate_derivatives(&mbs[..], lambda);
                self.apply_momentum(eta, rho, dws, dbs);
                self.update_network();
            }
...

Replace eta with meta and compile. The error refers to a missing crate which I found odd:

   Compiling ann v0.1.0 (/home/svenschmidt75/Develop/Rust/NeuralNetwork/lib/ann)

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

Process finished with exit code 101

Reproduction:

let xyz = meta;

(ie. this happens to any occurrence of a nonexistent local meta)

Expected outcome would be error[E0425]: cannot find value `meta` in this scope

Not a bug. See #54116. The crate meta is reserved in the extern prelude in case we want to use it in the future for proc macros and so on.

Current output:

error[E0425]: cannot find value `meta` in this scope
 --> src/main.rs:2:15
