Unsettled - What Climate Science...

Steven E. Koonin

In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonin’s groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change—with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. 
 
“Greenland’s ice loss is accelerating.” 
“Extreme temperatures are causing more fatalities.” 
“Rapid ‘climate action’ is essential to avoid a future climate disaster.” 
 
You’ve heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. 
 
With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn’t say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. 
 
When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe. 
 
Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: 
• Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 
• Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions 
• There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity 
 
Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.

The Shortcut - Why Intelligent...

Nello Cristianini

An influential scientist in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) explains its fundamental concepts and how it is changing culture and society. 
 
 
 
A particular form of AI is now embedded in our tech, our infrastructure, and our lives. How did it get there? Where and why should we be concerned? And what should we do now? The Shortcut: Why Intelligent Machines Do Not Think Like Us provides an accessible yet probing exposure of AI in its prevalent form today, proposing a new narrative to connect and make sense of events that have happened in the recent tumultuous past, and enabling us to think soberly about the road ahead. 
 
 
 
This book is divided into ten carefully crafted and easily digestible chapters. Each chapter grapples with an important question for AI. Ranging from the scientific concepts that underpin the technology to wider implications for society, it develops a unified description using tools from different disciplines and avoiding unnecessary abstractions or words that end with -ism. The book uses real examples wherever possible, introducing the listener to the people who have created some of these technologies and to ideas shaping modern society that originate from the technical side of AI. It contains important practical advice about how we should approach AI in the future without promoting exaggerated hypes or fears.

Deep Learning Bitcoin Price...

Bryan DeHart

This podcast explores the use of deep learning to predict Bitcoin price direction. Several deep learning models, including CNN-LSTM, LSTNet, and TCN, are compared to an ARIMA model as a benchmark. Feature selection methods are employed to optimize model performance. The results show that the combination of Boruta feature selection with the CNN-LSTM model outperforms others, achieving an accuracy of 82.44% and generating extraordinary annual returns in simulated investment strategies. The study highlights the potential of predictive models in Bitcoin trading, while acknowledging limitations and suggesting areas for future research.
