  From the euphoria of the gridiron, to the depths of stress, isolation and depression - and back again. 
   
  For as long as he can remember, BJ Daniels ate, slept and breathed football. He became a star quarterback at the University of South Florida and went on to play professionally in the NFL, winning the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks in 2013. 
   
  In many ways, it seemed like BJ was living every athlete's dream. However, he also saw first-hand the lows that accompany being a football player at the highest level. The mental health struggles both he and his teammates faced – often in silence – have inspired a new passion and purpose in him: to share his story, from setbacks to success, and encourage others to face their wellbeing head-on. 
   
  Here, with raw vulnerability, through his own lived experience, BJ explores the importance of resilience, mindset, dedication, passion and perseverance – all of which can help you to rise above your circumstances. 
   
  This audiobook embodies BJ’s mission to "Leave No One Behind", and shows us that, beyond all our obstacles, there’s a life worth living.

  Cosmology's Dark Secrets -...

  The vastness of the universe has always stirred human curiosity, evoking questions that seem to stretch beyond the reach of science and into the realm of the unknown. As far back as ancient civilizations, people looked up at the night sky and wondered about the lights scattered across it. With the advancement of technology and scientific understanding, we have come to learn much about what lies beyond our atmosphere. Yet, despite all we know, there remains an overwhelming sense that we are only scratching the surface of a far deeper reality. 
  The observable universe refers to the portion of the cosmos we can detect through light and other forms of radiation. With telescopes, we can peer billions of light-years into space, essentially looking back in time to the early moments following the Big Bang. However, what we can observe is just a fraction of the entire cosmos. Beyond this visible boundary lies a realm shrouded in darkness, not because it is absent, but because it is inaccessible to our current instruments. This horizon, defined by the limits of the speed of light and the age of the universe, presents a fundamental boundary to what we can ever know. 
  Despite the sophistication of our tools, human perception is still tied to what light allows us to see. We rely heavily on electromagnetic radiation—visible light, radio waves, X-rays—to map and understand the structure of the cosmos. However, this reliance imposes a narrow filter on our understanding. There may be phenomena that exist completely outside the spectrum we can currently detect. The deeper we explore, the more we realize that the cosmos may be full of activity and matter that leave no trace in the form of light.

  Black Space Chronicles - The...

  The concept of the void, or the space beyond what we can observe, has captivated astronomers and philosophers alike for centuries. Often referred to as “Black Space,” this region exists beyond the boundaries of visible light, where the naked eye and even some of the most powerful telescopes fail to penetrate. It is a realm of absolute darkness, yet it is filled with unknown energies and phenomena that scientists are only beginning to understand. The mystery of this vast emptiness is not just about the absence of light but also about the unknown forces at play in this cosmic dark zone. 
  At its core, the void is home to dark matter and dark energy, two of the most elusive and fundamental components of the universe. Though invisible, dark matter exerts gravitational forces that can affect the movement of galaxies, holding them together in a way that cannot be explained by visible matter alone. Dark energy, on the other hand, is believed to be responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe. Together, these forces make up approximately 95% of the universe’s total mass-energy content, yet remain undetectable by current technology. 
  The void is not empty in the traditional sense. Instead, it is filled with mysterious phenomena that defy our understanding of space. Black holes, for instance, are a prominent feature of the void, with gravitational forces so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape them. These cosmic giants consume anything that comes too close, distorting space and time in ways that challenge our fundamental understanding of physics. Other objects, like neutron stars and supernova remnants, contribute to the strange and often violent dynamics of the void.

  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.
