Blask

Jodi Picoult

Blask, opowiadanie o przywilejach i rasie, poprzedza wydarzenia opisane w powieści Małe wielkie rzeczy. Jodi Picoult przedstawia czytelnikom niezapomnianą Ruth Brooks. Ruth idzie do Dalton, elitarnej nowojorskiej szkoły, która bardzo różni się od podstawówki w Harlemie, do której dotąd chodziła. Zbiera najlepsze oceny, ale ma podejrzenia, że jest postrzegana przez nauczycieli i rówieśników jedynie przez pryzmat koloru skóry. Zauważa również, że Christina, córka ludzi, u których pracuje jej matka, w szkole odnosi się do niej inaczej niż wówczas, gdy bawią się tylko we dwie. Ruth jest zmuszona pogodzić owe dwa światy, nie tracąc z oczu marzenia, że ktoś kiedyś doceni ją taką, jaka jest.

Hands-On Machine Learning with Azure. Build powerful models with cognitive machine learning and artificial intelligence

Thomas K Abraham, Parashar Shah, Jen Stirrup, Lauri Lehman, ...

Implementing Machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the cloud had not been possible earlier due to the lack of processing power and storage. However, Azure has created ML and AI services that are easy to implement in the cloud. Hands-On Machine Learning with Azure teaches you how to perform advanced ML projects in the cloud in a cost-effective way.The book begins by covering the benefits of ML and AI in the cloud. You will then explore Microsoft’s Team Data Science Process to establish a repeatable process for successful AI development and implementation. You will also gain an understanding of AI technologies available in Azure and the Cognitive Services APIs to integrate them into bot applications. This book lets you explore prebuilt templates with Azure Machine Learning Studio and build a model using canned algorithms that can be deployed as web services. The book then takes you through a preconfigured series of virtual machines in Azure targeted at AI development scenarios. You will get to grips with the ML Server and its capabilities in SQL and HDInsight. In the concluding chapters, you’ll integrate patterns with other non-AI services in Azure.By the end of this book, you will be fully equipped to implement smart cognitive actions in your models.

Nawiedzony. Album grafiki użytkowej

Tom Hex

Nawiedzony to album grafiki użytkowej. Zawiera zachwycające, a jednocześnie odrażające (sądząc po opiniach krytyków) grafiki Toma Hexa, kompozytora, pisarza, poety i performera, w większości znane z witryny Tom-Hex.Art   Prace zostały okraszone komentarzem artysty wyjaśniającym genezę twórczych wizji, ich znaczenie i sposób spożytkowania. Dołączonych zostało też 21 krótkich historyjek w klimacie baśni, horroru i science-fiction opartych na autentycznych wydarzeniach z życia artysty.   Uwaga! W części prac Tom Hex ukrył Tajemne Przekazy Tylko Dla Wybranych. Są to bardzo głębokie nauki dotyczące natury rzeczywistości. Ich poznanie gwarantuje osiągnięcie wszelkiego szczęścia, dostatku i zdrowia. Nauki te zostały przez Hexa podsłuchane i odgapione od mądrych nauczycieli duchowych.   Niektórzy twierdzą, że Tom Hex to jedynie program sztucznej inteligencji, inni, że już umarł i kontynuuje to co robił za życia, czyli straszy. Są też głosy, iż Hex to tak naprawdę sześć osobowości uwięzionych w jednym ciele, co widać na przykładzie tytułowej grafiki przedstawiającej sześć twarzy uwięzionych w kropli krwi albo łzy. Jak jest w rzeczywistości? Przekonaj się zaglądając do środka. (Chyba, że się boisz).  

The Man Who Was Nobody

Edgar Wallace

A slick young man buys a jewel with a cheque that bounces. Then two men are searching for James Tynewood, a young tearaway: one is a police inspector, while the other is his solicitor. But Tynewood has mysteriously disappeared... The Man Who Was Nobody is an enjoyable lightweight murder mystery thriller that manages to preserve at least some of the characteristic Edgar Wallace atmosphere. During the 1920s and 30s, it was said that one of every four books read in England was written by Wallace, who ultimately produced 173 books and 17 plays. Highly recommended for people who like to treat a mystery story as a solvable riddle!
