Sinossi

'St. Elmo's Fire' explores the fascinating phenomenon of atmospheric electrical discharge that has intrigued humanity for centuries, from Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment to modern aviation safety protocols. This comprehensive examination weaves together historical observations, scientific principles, and practical applications, offering readers a unique perspective on how this ethereal blue-violet glow has influenced our understanding of atmospheric electricity and plasma physics.

 
The book progresses thoughtfully through three main sections, beginning with rich historical accounts from maritime logs and military records that document this mysterious phenomenon across cultures and eras. The middle section breaks down the complex physics of corona discharge and plasma formation using accessible language and clear diagrams, making technical concepts digestible for readers with basic physics knowledge. The final section bridges past and present by examining modern applications in aircraft safety and lightning protection systems.

 
What sets this book apart is its multidisciplinary approach, combining insights from meteorology, electrical engineering, and materials science to present a complete picture of St. Elmo's Fire's significance. Through careful examination of weather station data, aircraft incident reports, and laboratory experiments, readers gain practical knowledge about recognizing conducive conditions for this phenomenon while understanding its crucial role in contemporary atmospheric research and technology development. The text maintains technical accuracy while remaining accessible to both professionals and enthusiasts interested in atmospheric electricity and weather phenomena.

    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.

    A playful and provocative exploration of queer single parenting and love, in conversation with an AI algorithm and a toddler 
     
     
     
    My Child, the Algorithm describes encounters between a single parent, a curious, verbal toddler, and a language-producing algorithm. Like a male seahorse, Hannah Silva carried a baby made from her partner's egg. But when she gave birth, her partner left, and Hannah found herself navigating life alone with her child, surviving on United Kingdom universal credit, humor, and buckets of imagination. 
     
     
     
    As she navigates friendship, dating, and life as a queer parent in London, Hannah begins cowriting with an open-source language model, a precursor to ChatGPT, feeding the algorithm language and receiving language in return. Through her interactions with her toddler and the algorithm, expressions of humor, play, and insight begin to emerge. With the help and disruption of these unreliable narrators, Hannah deconstructs her story and constructs a new one, unraveling what she has been taught to want, finding alternative ways of thinking, loving, and parenting today.
