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 ...

Stop Building Chatbots. Start Engineering Autonomous Systems. Most “AI guides” teach prompts. This book teaches architecture.

A man cooks fries in an air fryer. And while the fries turn golden, he invents a six‑organ cognitive architecture for advanced machine reasoning. George: Kuss Kuss, my cat, is sitting on my desk beside me, supervising as I’m trying to finish eating hot fries and chicken balls after burning the side of my hand on the air fryer I cooked them in. Navvy — my AI Reasoning System — and I were editing and discussing the Saskatchewan book I’m writing. We had reached a familiar point in working with AI where problems start, even though we had both done the same tasks we do every day since ...

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...
