After decades of false starts, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is entering the mainstream of society. That is largely due to the rapid adoption of ChatGPT, a service that responds to almost any natural language question with cogent paragraphs. ChatGPT is the leading example of generative AI -- technology that creates original text, images, video and computer code based on uncovering patterns in training data. The book will explain how generative AI works and how much economic value it could create and will map out the industry value network. For each value network stage, the book will define the industry, estimate its size, growth rate, and profit potential, identify the most successful participants, and explain how they have achieved their success and where they will compete in the future. The book will conclude with a section on what investors and business leaders should do to make an informed decision on where to place their bets. Generative AI answers natural language questions with clearly written paragraphs, images, videos, or computer code. Through applications such as ChatGPT for text and DALL-E and Midjourney for images, Generative AI identifies “patterns in large quantities of training data, and then creates original material that has similar characteristics,” according to the New York Times. How do chatbots – generative AI applications for text – discover these patterns? Chatbots are large language models – computer systems that have processed large volumes of text – called training data. Through training, LLMs can predict the words most likely to follow any prompt the user supplies. LLMs are a type of neural network that seeks to replicate the way the human brain processes information.

Debugging is the most important skill that most people are never taught. Being able to debug locally and in production is a critical skill for any Go engineer, but it is rarely taught explicitly. It has taken me many years of working with Go in production to get comfortable debugging, and I want to accelerate your learning by teaching you everything I wish I had known when I started out. This book started life as a course and has been written from the ground up, including additional content. When people think of debugging, they often think of the debugger. We will cover how to use the debugger in this book, but it is a small part of our debugging utility belt. Pair Programming is one of the best ways to grow as a Go engineer, especially if you are fortunate enough to pair with someone with more experience than yourself. As the more senior member of a pair, there is still plenty of benefit to you too - we will explore that more below. When I used to work 100% in the office, we used to pair often and I credit it with much of my technical growth. I found moving to remote working has made pairing much harder, but I found a few ways to make it work (although I think the experience is still inferior). If you are a junior or mid-level Go engineer, I think this book will be useful for you.

In today's cloud native world, where we automate as much as possible, everything is code. With this practical guide, you'll learn how Policy as Code (PaC) provides the means to manage the policies, related data, and responses to events that occur within the systems we maintain—Kubernetes, cloud security, software supply chain security, infrastructure as code, and microservices authorization, among others. Author Jimmy Ray provides a practical approach to integrating PaC solutions into your systems, with plenty of real-world examples and important hands-on guidance. DevOps and DevSecOps engineers, Kubernetes developers, and cloud engineers will understand how to choose and then implement the most appropriate solutions. I started writing the controls using what I thought was the best tool in my toolbox, Java; I was a Java subject matter expert (SME), and the cloud service provider (CSP) offered a mature Java software development kit (SDK). The first and, as it turns out, last control I wrote in Java enforced encryption of data at rest on object storage. This book is for DevOps practitioners, Kubernetes cluster operators, security engineers, and anyone charged with ensuring secure operations in cloud native and everything-as-code environments. In this book, I introduce PaC concepts and use cases, and expose you to patterns and solutions to help you successfully use PaC for your security, compliance, and governance needs. I think this book can serve as a reference for those of you needing to understand PaC and choose the right solution for your use cases. You can also use this book to discover techniques and patterns that you can apply immediately. I think some of you will reread this book to gain a deeper understanding of the different aspects of PaC.

This textbook focuses on practical parallel C++ programming at the graduate student level. In particular, it shows the APIs and related language features in the C++ 17 and C++ 20 standards, covering both single node and distributed systems. It shows that with the parallel features in the C++ 17 and C++ 20 standards, learning meta-languages like OpenMP is no longer necessary. Using the C++ standard library for parallelism and concurrency (HPX), the same language features can be extended to distributed codes, providing a higher-level C++ interface to distributed programming than the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The book starts with the single-threaded implementation of the fractal sets, e.g. Julia set, and Mandelbrot set, using the C++ Standard Library (SL)’s container and algorithms. This code base is used for parallel implementation using low-level threads, asynchronous programming, parallel algorithms, and coroutines. The asynchronous programming examples are then extended to distributed programming using the C++ standard library for parallelism and concurrency (HPX). Octo-Tiger, an astrophysics code for stellar merger, is used as a showcase for a portable, efficient, and scalable high-performance application using HPX. The book’s core audience is advanced undergraduate and graduate students who want to learn the basics of parallel and distributed C++ programming but are not Computer Science majors. Basic C++ knowledge, like functions, classes, loops, and conditional statements, is assumed as a requirement, while C++ advanced topics, like generic programming, lambda functions, smart pointers, and move semantics, are briefly summarized in the appendix.
