Ensayos | Dantis Elementorum

The name of this blog is inspired by Euclid's Elements, since I intend to write about what I consider the most fundamental elements of the fields that I'm interested in. Sections are:

  • ELEMENTORUM PHYSICÆ MATHEMATICÆ. Where I mainly discuss technical stuff related to STEM disciplines.
  • ELEMENTORUM POLITICÆ ŒCONOMICÆ IURISPRUDENTIÆ. Where I mainly discuss topics related to law, economics and politics.
  • ELEMENTORUM POETICÆ. Where I mainly discuss literary things.
  • ELEMENTORUM PHILOSOPHIÆ. Where I mainly discuss my philosophical views.
  • EXAGIUM. Where I write uncategorized thoughts a vuelapluma.

Work in progress

  • Add discussion about software 2.0 to chaper III of Elementos de programación.
  • In relation to Elementos de redes neuronales, explain how the weights work and why we use them; explain what the loss function is and how it connects to the network. Add an appendix explaining the integral as an antiderivative.
  • Add explanatory text to El Hacedor.
  • Add explanatory text to El Hacedor 2.0. Implement the paper Bengio et. al, 2003.
  • Make Hacedor and Hacedor 2.0 prettier.
  • Write Elementos arquitectónicos de un modelo transformer. Implement Attention is all you need and explain each component/layer/mechanism.
  • Write Elementos de teoría computacional. Implement and explain a simple Turing machine based on the paper.
  • Write Elementos de aritmética. Implement and explain the Peano axioms.
  • Fix and complete Elementos de leyes. Change to a more technical style, add more legal theory, explain contractual theory, explain relation between property and economics based on Menger. Appendix about Areopagitica.
  • Write Elementos genealógicos de Bitcoin. Trace back the economic theory from which Bitcoin emerged: Menger $\to$ Vera C. Smith $\to$ Hayek $\to$ Selgin and White $\to$ Szabo, Finney and Wei. Add appendix related to the political and economical principles of Bitcoin, review Álvaro D. María's books. Relate decentralization to programming and AI.
  • Complete Elementos terminológicos and Elementos de música afroamericana.
  • Write Contra el escepticismo. Explain why modern scepticism is a very basic fallacious philosophy.
