Summary

DVD Format Battle explores the intense rivalry between DVD-R, DVD+R, and DVD-RAM formats, revealing how this battle reshaped the optical media industry and influenced data storage technology. The book dissects the intricate web of industry alliances, technical specifications, and market maneuvers that defined the DVD format war. It highlights that the outcome wasn't solely determined by technical superiority; strategic alliances and consumer preferences played a significant role. For example, aggressive marketing campaigns often overshadowed minor technical advantages. The book uniquely blends technical analysis with business strategy and consumer behavior, offering a holistic view.

 
Beginning with an introduction to the key players and technical specifications, it progresses to examining the formation of competing industry alliances, such as the DVD Forum and the DVD+RW Alliance. It analyzes the strategic decisions made during the DVD format war, including licensing agreements and marketing campaigns, and concludes by assessing the long-term impact of the format war on subsequent technologies. Readers will gain insights into how standards are set in technology industries and the forces that drive technological innovation.

    It's not clear how change will come, but it's clear that change is coming. The current paradigms of treating mental health fall short. 
    The psychiatric view of mental health disorders as imbalances in brain chemistry treated by medication fails to address the root cause. 
    The psychological view of mental health disorders as learned behavioural issues has severe limitations. Psychosocial therapies that require the trauma to be reimagined (talking therapies, EMDR) are ineffective for many traumatised children, adolescents and adults. 
    Neurofeedback therapy reaches the parts other therapies cannot reach. It works at the physiological level first, building the scaffolding for psychological change. 
    The challenge has been understanding, adopting and scaling this obscure approach. 
    Stuart Black explains how these challenges can be addressed, makes the case for Neurofeedback for trauma, and describes how you can incorporate Neurofeedback therapy into your service.

    Dogs are considered a part of the family, but what do you do when your dog interferes with love and romance? When your dog hates your date, but you’re smitten, what’s a caring pet owner to do? Or perhaps you’re pregnant, and your longtime “fur-kid” acts jealous, or you worry Grandma’s dogs aren’t used to toddler antics. The stress put on family relationships can make animal behaviors and communication go sideways, and turn a once loving pet bond into a dysfunctional relationship. Dogs often lose their homes or lives when the bond breaks, unless you teach dogs to accept babies, toddlers, and lovers.

    Companies today are moving rapidly to integrate generative AI into their products and services. But there's a great deal of hype (and misunderstanding) about the impact and promise of this technology. With this book, Chris Fregly, Antje Barth, and Shelbee Eigenbrode from AWS help CTOs, ML practitioners, application developers, business analysts, data engineers, and data scientists find practical ways to use this exciting new technology. 
     
     
     
    You'll learn the generative AI project life cycle including use case definition, model selection, model fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, reinforcement learning from human feedback, and model quantization, optimization, and deployment. And you'll explore different types of models including large language models (LLMs) and multimodal models such as Stable Diffusion for generating images and Flamingo/IDEFICS for answering questions about images. 
     
     
     
    You'll also discover how to apply generative AI to your business use cases; determine which generative AI models are best suited to your task; perform prompt engineering and in-context learning; fine-tune generative AI models on your datasets with low-rank adaptation (LoRA); align generative AI models to human values with reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF); augment your model with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG); explore libraries such as LangChain and ReAct to develop agents and actions; and build generative AI applications with Amazon Bedrock.

    Wernher von Braun ( March 23, 1912 – June 16, 1977) was a German aerospace engineer and space architect. He was the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany and a pioneer of space technology and science in the United States. 
    After World War II, von Braun was secretly moved to the US, along with roughly 1,600 other German scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip. He worked for the United States Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) program, and he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1. 
    He served as director of the Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V super heavy-lift launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. In 1955, von Braun became a naturalized citizen of the United States. In 1975, von Braun received the National Medal of Science. This recording is from Dr. Von Braun's speech at the 1st Annual SOLE Symposium, September 13, 1966, in Huntsville Alabama.
