Recent breakthroughs in AI have not only increased demand for AI products, they've also lowered the barriers to entry for those who want to build AI products. The model-as-a-service approach has transformed AI from an esoteric discipline into a powerful development tool that anyone can use. Everyone, including those with minimal or no prior AI experience, can now leverage AI models to build applications. In this book, author Chip Huyen discusses AI engineering: the process of building applications with readily available foundation models.

Kai-Fu Lee já foi presidente da Google China e é considerado um dos maiores especialistas em inovação tecnológica no mundo. Em Inteligência artificial, ele explica tanto para leigos quanto para aqueles que já dominam o assunto, como o desenvolvimento sem precedentes da IA já está alterando as nossas vidas e expõe quais são as mudanças que podemos esperar nos próximos anos.

Como os livros podem nos ensinar sobre o mundo, as pessoas que estão à nossa volta e sobre nós mesmos? Como eles são capazes de nos resgatar de momentos difíceis? Ao combinar memórias pessoais e reflexões sobre suas leituras, Pedro Pacífico conta como os livros tiveram papel crucial na construção de sua identidade. Referência entre os produtores de conteúdo literário nas redes sociais, com quase meio milhão de seguidores no Instagram...

Neste guia, você aprenderá sobre todos os conceitos básicos da inteligência artificial. Você aprenderá o que é, como funciona e de onde veio (ou, em outras palavras, como tudo começou). Além disso, abordaremos algumas análises de dados e exemplos de inteligência artificial. Abordaremos várias etapas do processo analítico e veremos o que é necessário para que a inteligência artificial seja eficaz.

Broken Money explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently.

This book is for programmers who want to learn JavaScript and for web developers who want to take their understanding and mastery to the next level. It begins by explaining the JavaScript language itself, in detail, from the bottom up. It then builds on that foundation to cover the web platform and Node.js.

Few books on software project management have been as influential and timeless as The Mythical Man-Month. With a blend of software engineering facts and thought-provoking opinions, Fred Brooks offers insight for anyone managing complex projects. These essays draw from his experience as project manager for the IBM System/360 computer family and then for OS/360, its massive software system.

Apple isn’t just a brand; it’s the world’s most valuable company and creator of the 21st century’s defining product. The iPhone has revolutionized the way we live, work and connect. But Apple is now a victim of its own success, caught in the middle of a new Cold War between two superpowers. Investigative journalist Patrick McGee draws on 200 interviews with former Apple executives and engineers to reveal how Cupertino’s choice to anchor its supply chain in China has increasingly made it vulnerable to the regime’s whims.

É curioso que a história dos computadores e da internet, ferramentas tão presentes em nosso dia a dia, seja tão pouco conhecida pela maioria das pessoas. E talvez mais interessante ainda seja o fato de, diferentemente de outras tecnologias revolucionárias a sua época, como o telefone e a lâmpada, essas invenções que mudaram a forma como vivemos serem em grande parte fruto de trabalho colaborativo.

Large language models (LLMs) and diffusion models such as ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion have unprecedented potential. Because they have been trained on all the public text and images on the internet, they can make useful contributions to a wide variety of tasks. And with the barrier to entry greatly reduced today, practically any developer can harness LLMs and diffusion models to tackle problems previously unsuitable for automation. With this book, you'll gain a solid foundation in generative AI, including how to apply these models in practice.

Jaron Lanier, considerado o pai da realidade virtual e uma das maiores referências (e críticos) do Vale do Silício, não tem conta em nenhuma rede social e deixa bem claro por quê: “Evito as redes sociais pela mesma razão que evito as drogas.” Segundo ele, as bases da internet foram fundamentadas em um modelo de negócio regido pelas propagandas. Os anúncios, nossos velhos conhecidos das mídias tradicionais, ganharam uma nova dimensão à medida que a internet se desenvolvia.

Machine learning systems are both complex and unique. Complex because they consist of many different components and involve many different stakeholders. Unique because they're data dependent, with data varying wildly from one use case to the next. In this book, you'll learn a holistic approach to designing ML systems that are reliable, scalable, maintainable, and adaptive to changing environments and business requirements. Author Chip Huyen, cofounder of Claypot AI, considers each design decision in the context of how it can help your system as a whole achieve its objectives.

Noted software expert Robert C. Martin presents a revolutionary paradigm with Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship. Martin has teamed up with his colleagues from Object Mentor to distill their best agile practice of cleaning code “on the fly” into a book that will instill within you the values of a software craftsman and make you a better programmer - but only if you work at it.
