A good TradingView signal can do two things: help you catch trades earlier, and become the product other traders pay to use. Most chartists are on the wrong side of both. They pay for signals instead of owning the logic. They chase 93% backtests without knowing whether the strategy is real. They ask Claude Code for one Pine script, paste errors back ten times, and still end up with an indicator that repaints. Meanwhile, the signal service gets paid every month because it owns the script. Build Trading Signals with Claude Code shows you how to move to the owner side. First, you build Pine v6...

You hit a Claude rate limit this morning. Then again at lunch. Then again at 3pm. You are not trying to become an AI researcher. You are trying to ship software. But every time your coding session gets serious, Claude slows down, locks up, gets expensive, or makes you wait. The answer is not another vague “AI coding workflow.” The answer is a cheaper, faster, local-first stack built around opencode. This book gives you the opencode Stack: opencode CLI, OpenCode Go, model routing, reusable skills, parallel worktrees, local model fallback, and a cost dashboard that keeps your build ...

You opened Claude Code this morning and felt it immediately: the tool that used to feel like magic now feels crowded, expensive, and unpredictable. So you start looking at OpenAI Codex. Not because you want another AI coding toy, but because you want a cleaner workflow that can actually ship. The mistake is treating the migration like a settings change. This book treats it like a 30-day build sprint. The Codex Migration Playbook shows you how to switch to OpenAI Codex, build twelve real projects, and turn your new stack into paid work. By Day 1, you have the 5-tool Codex stack installed and...

Distributed machine learning systems fail in ways single-node systems never do. A 1024-GPU training job stalls for four hours while every worker reports healthy; gradient synchronization deadlocks leave no stack trace and no alert. A serving cluster absorbs a traffic spike, then silently doubles inference cost because the KV cache policy was tuned for a model half the size. Checkpoint corruption surfaces only after twelve hours of resumed training. These are the predictable failure modes of distributed systems, and the teams that ship reliable distributed ML design against them with ...

The domain of cybersecurity has shifted from a static, rule-based discipline into a highly dynamic, automated battlefield.

"AI in Cybersecurity" is written precisely to address this critical industry need, serving as a definitive, practical guide to integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into real-world cyber ...

Written for ML architects, ML and LLM engineers, and technical leads, with platform and SRE engineers as a strong secondary audience. Large language models fail in production in ways no load test anticipates. A retrieval-augmented pipeline answers confidently with fabricated citations when the vector index drifts. An agent loop burns a month of API budget in forty minutes because one tool call returned an unexpected schema. A prompt that cleared every red-team review gets hijacked by a malicious document in the first week of real traffic. Latency spikes vanish with no correlated metric ...

You opened Claude Code. You typed: "build me a trading bot." It generated 400 lines of Python in 30 seconds. Then you asked Claude where the volatility numbers came from. Claude admitted it had been making them up. You followed the YouTube tutorial. You connected the API. You ran your first backtest and your bot printed money on paper. Then you went to live and the strategy fell apart in a week. Now you're three hours into debugging a bug Claude can't fix because every prompt burns the same tokens, and you're starting to wonder if the problem isn't the code. The problem is that you let ...

The Future of Cybercrime: Bright Prospects for the Darkest of Industries is a deep investigation by Bernd Riemann into how artificial intelligence, autonomous agents, blockchain infrastructure, and machine-speed automation are transforming cybercrime faster than governments, corporations, and security teams can respond.
