Don’t read this book if you’re looking for an affirmation of the sales status quo. Roff-Marsh argues that the marketplace has changed dramatically since the evolution of the standard sales model and that radical change is being forced on organizations—like it or not! Here are just some of the radical changes that Roff-Marsh advocates (and sacred cows he slays) in this comprehensive and impeccably-argued treatise. Salespeople should be inside, not in the field. Engineers should perform necessary field sales activities. Revenue should be the responsibility of Operations, not Sales. ...

Machine learning systems are both complex and unique. Complex because they consist of many different components and involve many different stakeholders. Unique because they're data dependent, with data varying wildly from one use case to the next. In this book, you'll learn a holistic approach to designing ML systems that are reliable, scalable, maintainable, and adaptive to changing environments and business requirements. Author Chip Huyen, cofounder of Claypot AI, considers each design decision in the context of how it can help your system as a whole achieve its objectives.

Addiction by Design takes listeners into the intriguing world of machine gambling, an increasingly popular and absorbing form of play that blurs the line between human and machine, compulsion and control, risk and reward.

Inside this book, readers will learn how to: Apply a five-question framework before writing a single line of architecture — identifying what decision the system supports, who consumes its output, how fresh that output must be, what a wrong output costs, and what the system does when it is unavailable Design the data layer for ML workloads from first principles — covering data contracts, schema versioning, lineage tracking, and the boundary discipline that prevents the silent cross-team failures most ML incidents trace back to Build feature engineering pipelines with point-in-time ...

Data Lake Architecture will explain how to build a useful data lake where data scientists and data analysts can solve business challenges and identify new business opportunities. Learn how to structure data lakes as well as analog, application, and text-based data ponds to provide maximum business value. Understand the role of the raw data pond and when to use an archival data pond. Leverage the four key ingredients for data lake success: metadata, integration mapping, context, and metaprocess.

The gap between a working artificial intelligence demo and a production-grade enterprise system is not a gap in model quality. It is a fundamental architectural gap. Foundation models are remarkably capable, but a demo that runs in a conference room without latency constraints, compliance postures, or tenant isolation requirements will fail under the weight of real-world demands. Every enterprise deployment that is more than a simple wrapper is a complex retrieval pipeline, an inference fleet, an integration mesh, and a continuous data lifecycle problem operating simultaneously. Inside this...

Behind every generated answer, image, voice, video, or synthetic experience is an architecture that determines what the system can understand, how it processes information, and what it can produce. Generative AI models are often discussed as though they were one technology. In practice, foundation models, transformers, diffusion systems, and multimodal models rely on different structures, training objectives, information flows, and generation processes. Understanding these differences is essential for evaluating modern AI systems without treating them as mysterious black boxes. Generative ...

This is the complete history of the synthesizer—from electromagnetic experiments in the 1870s to the software and hardware you use today. You'll discover how these instruments evolved from room-sized laboratory equipment to portable analog classics to digital dominance to the software revolution to the analog revival happening right now. Every major instrument, every breakthrough, every paradigm shift that shaped how electronic music gets made. You'll understand why the Minimoog became legendary, how the Prophet-5 changed everything with patch memory, why the DX7 killed analog synthesis ...

A machine now stands between your brand and your customer. AI assistants read, rank, and recommend products before a shopper ever sees them. They cannot be charmed, bought, or briefed like the buyers and gatekeepers before them. They can only be fed. What they read about your products decides what they recommend, and most brands have no idea what that is. The Machine-Readable Brand is the operator's field guide to fashion in the age of AI agents. It moves past the hype and shows you the systems, metrics, and decisions that put a brand on the agent's shelf and keep it there. Inside, you will...
