Some rough ideas for notes that I think would be useful / interesting.

• Just shill these incredible lectures on history of mathematics (and book!) by M. Kordos + some stuff I learned from it

• History of mathematics again, Some thoughts on A Concise History of Mathematics by Struik, especially part, why European civlization actually achieved dominance in math / science / engineering after XIV-th century, even though other civilizations (China / Arab) were much more developed in this area earlier.

• Some lectures: this and this from Gresham College about Lord Kelvin (once my favourite physicist)

• Some early history of computers: Part 1, Part 2

• On the similar note: this dude Harry Bateman (seemed to know everything but did nothing important) and in general the Wrangler culture (basically precursors of Olympiads) at Cambridge in XIX-th and early XX-th century based on A. Warwick book

• Some thoughts on the culture of Ancient Greece based on my (very limited) knowledge learned from H.D.F Kitto's The Greeks and lectures by Donald Kagan

• Some absoulte shilling of Isaac Newton (dude is not appreciated enough, like easily top 1 physicist and scientist of all time and it's not even close). Like based on this biography by J. Kierul, guy just casually spent three years of college sitting in his dorm and basically taught himself all of the modern (at that time) mathematics and became one of the top mathematicians in Europe, like bro didn't even have a proper teacher and still invented calculus

• Some art stuff (maybe not so predictable) on Dark Deco aesthetics: this yt video and these two articles: this and this

• Some music stuff: Bach's Art of Fugue and this dude Glenn Gould

• Some thoughts on electronic music: Klaus Schulze, Vangelis, Jarre

• Some thoughts on Lovecraft in general and especially on my favourite of his works: At the Mountains of Madness

• Some of my initial thoughts on LLMs as a new computing paradigm

• I really want to deep dive into the details of semiconductor fabrication: this awesome paper and this and some yt videos: this, and absoulte gems on AT&T channel like this or this or this playlist

• The 5 types of tensor operations required to implement (most) of the DL stack: application $f(X_\alpha)$, reshape $X_{f(\alpha)}$, reduce $\sum_\beta X_{\alpha\beta}$, elementwise addition $X_\alpha + Y_\alpha$ and elementwise multiplication $X_\alpha \cdot Y_\alpha$. And how to make an efficient hardware accelerator architecture for those

• Some reflections on why do I think that LLMs are the beginning of the incoming revolution (prbly as significant as the invention of the stored-program computer and the semiconductor revolution)

• Some thoughts on philosophy of science based on Poincare's Science and Hypothesis

• Some thoughts on elitism.

• Some thoughts on minimalism, minimalist philosophy and anti-consumerism.

• My experiments with Memory Palace method
