Superintelligence - Nick Bostrom Cover Art

Superintelligence

Superintelligence Paths, Dangers, Strategies by Nick Bostrom

The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. Other animals have stronger muscles or sharper claws, but we have cleverer brains. If machine brains one day come to surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become very powerful. As the fate of the gorillas now depends more on us humans than on the gorillas themselves, so the fate of our species then would come to depend on the actions of the machine superintelligence. But we have one advantage: we get to make the first move. Will it be possible to construct a seed AI or otherwise to engineer initial conditions so as to make an intelligence explosion survivable? How could one achieve a controlled detonation? To get closer to an answer to this question, we must make our way through a fascinating landscape of topics and considerations. Read the book and learn about oracles, genies, singletons; about boxing methods, tripwires, and mind crime; about humanity's cosmic endowment and differential technological development; indirect normativity, instrumental convergence, whole brain emulation and technology couplings; Malthusian economics and dystopian evolution; artificial intelligence, and biological cognitive enhancement, and collective intelligence. This profoundly ambitious and original book picks its way carefully through a vast tract of forbiddingly difficult intellectual terrain. Yet the writing is so lucid that it somehow makes it all seem easy. After an utterly engrossing journey that takes us to the frontiers of thinking about the human condition and the future of intelligent life, we find in Nick Bostrom's work nothing less than a reconceptualization of the essential task of our time.

Assembly Arithmetic Algorithms 32-bit Linux Edition - Chastity White Rose & Chandler Klebs Cover Art

Assembly Arithmetic Algorithms 32-bit Linux Edition

Assembly Arithmetic Algorithms 32-bit Linux Edition by Chastity White Rose & Chandler Klebs

This book is meant for both new programmers who want to know more about how computers work and also experienced programmers who want a little bit more control over their programs than C or C++ compilers allow. All programs in this book are written for the Linux Operating System on Intel machines. There are some C programs included to aid in understanding what the Assembly programs do. If you enjoyed the DOS edition of this book, which was previously published, then you will probably like this one even more, especially if the Software Freedom and Privacy that Linux provides is important to you. This book is not just a rewrite of the DOS book. Most of it is written from scratch with a special focus on the POSIX System Calls known as exit, read, write, open, close, and lseek. Learning these calls can allow you to write almost any Linux console application. Even if you don't become an Assembly master, you can still use much of the same information and efficiency when writing code in higher-level languages after coming back with a greater understanding of pointers, conditional loops, and numbers in bases like Binary, Hexadecimal, and Octal. I fight for the users and wish to empower people to write the smallest and fastest command-line utilities possible.

Assembly Arithmetic Algorithms 16-bit DOS Edition

Assembly Arithmetic Algorithms 16-bit DOS Edition by Chastity White Rose

Low level is a term that confuses people. People think something high level is better than low level. In simple terms, humans consider themselves superior to machines and therefore think themselves higher or more important because of their abstract though. A computer thinks only in terms of numbers. A computer may not understand "high level" abstractions such as love, religion, philosophy, etc, but that is not its job. A computer must add, subtract, multiply, and divide. These are the four arithmetic functions which many human struggle to do. I wrote this book because I think like a machine and I hope to help others think this way because it is the best way to learn programming and control your computer by writing Assembly Language programs or to go back to your favorite programming language with a greater understanding of why things work as they do.

Code The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold

The classic guide to how computers work, updated with new chapters and interactive graphics "For me, Code was a revelation. It was the first book about programming that spoke to me. It started with a story, and it built up, layer by layer, analogy by analogy, until I understood not just the Code, but the System. Code is a book that is as much about Systems Thinking and abstractions as it is about code and programming. Code teaches us how many unseen layers there are between the computer systems that we as users look at every day and the magical silicon rocks that we infused with lightning and taught to think." - Scott Hanselman, Partner Program Director, Microsoft, and host of Hanselminutes Computers are everywhere, most obviously in our laptops and smartphones, but also our cars, televisions, microwave ovens, alarm clocks, robot vacuum cleaners, and other smart appliances. Have you ever wondered what goes on inside these devices to make our lives easier but occasionally more infuriating? For more than 20 years, readers have delighted in Charles Petzold's illuminating story of the secret inner life of computers, and now he has revised it for this new age of computing. Cleverly illustrated and easy to understand, this is the book that cracks the mystery. You'll discover what flashlights, black cats, seesaws, and the ride of Paul Revere can teach you about computing, and how human ingenuity and our compulsion to communicate have shaped every electronic device we use. This new expanded edition explores more deeply the bit-by-bit and gate-by-gate construction of the heart of every smart device, the central processing unit that combines the simplest of basic operations to perform the most complex of feats. Petzold's companion website, CodeHiddenLanguage.com, uses animated graphics of key circuits in the book to make computers even easier to comprehend. In addition to substantially revised and updated content, new chapters include: Chapter 18:  Let's Build a Clock! Chapter 21:  The Arithmetic Logic Unit Chapter 22:  Registers and Busses Chapter 23:  CPU Control Signals Chapter 24:  Jumps, Loops, and Calls Chapter 28: The World Brain From the simple ticking of clocks to the worldwide hum of the internet, Code reveals the essence of the digital revolution.

Build a Reasoning Model (From Scratch) - Sebastian Raschka Cover Art

Build a Reasoning Model (From Scratch)

Build a Reasoning Model (From Scratch) by Sebastian Raschka

Get the eBook free when you register your print book at Manning. "An exceptional deep dive into the next frontier of AI.” —Aman Chadha, Google This book is a practical guide to understanding how modern reasoning-oriented LLMs work by building their core methods step by step. The book tells a clear engineering story: start with a conventional pre-trained LLM, learn how text generation works, build reliable evaluation tools, improve reasoning through inference-time methods, then move into training-based approaches such as reinforcement learning and distillation. The progression is deliberate. Early chapters establish the baseline model and explain text generation, KV caching, and evaluation with math verifiers. The middle chapters show how reasoning can be improved without changing model weights, using chain-of-thought prompting, sampling, self-consistency, response scoring, and self-refinement. Later chapters move to changing the model itself through reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards, GRPO improvements, format rewards, and finally distillation from stronger reasoning models into smaller ones. The book is especially useful because it implements the core methods from scratch rather than treating them as black-box library calls. Readers see how self-consistency, self-refinement, Best-of-N, and training-based methods actually work, including their cost and latency trade-offs. It also discusses common failure modes, including cases where refinement can make answers worse. Difficult concepts such as softmax, temperature, and top-p sampling are clarified with code-linked explanations and diagrams, and visual workflows make pipelines and scoring methods easier to follow. Reading the book feels like following a guided technical build rather than a loose survey of AI topics. Each concept is introduced because the project now needs it. Diagrams, roadmaps, code listings, exercises, and repeated workflow summaries help readers stay oriented through advanced material. This structure reflects Sebastian Raschka’s professional strength: explaining complex machine learning topics by making every detail concrete and showing exactly where each section fits in the larger story. He does not treat mechanisms like evaluation, log-probabilities, KL regularization, or distillation as isolated abstractions; he connects them to the goal of making reasoning models understandable and implementable. Physically and organizationally, the book has eight chapters and seven substantial appendixes. That design keeps the main narrative focused while moving supporting material like references, exercise solutions, model source code, larger models, batching, evaluation alternatives, and chat interfaces into ordered appendixes. The result is a logically flowing book that remains hands-on, navigable, and technically deep without constantly interrupting the central build. What's inside • From-scratch implementations of core LLM reasoning improvements • Verifier-based evaluation methods • RL with automatic verifiers for mathematics tasks About the reader For readers who know Python and have some knowledge of machine learning. About the author Sebastian Raschka is an LLM Research Engineer with over a decade of experience. He is the author of the bestselling book Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch).

Fourth Edition: thoroughly revised and expanded! Updated for Python 3.14. Now includes Tkinter API reference, and bonus material on structuring and refining Tkinter code and third-party themes and widgets. Quickly learn the right way to build attractive and modern graphical user interfaces with Python and Tkinter, its standard GUI toolkit. Tkinter has been around forever. There's a lot of documentation, much of it created years ago. But it's all wrong. Tkinter took a quantum leap forward since that documentation was written. Your program needs to be written differently to take advantage of that. Modern Tkinter shows you the right way to do it. Whether you're entirely new to Tkinter, or just need to bring your Tkinter knowledge up to date, this book gives you all you need to build modern, attractive Tkinter user interfaces that run on Windows, macOS, and Linux. You'll learn all the modern best practices. You'll build your user interface the right way the first time, without having to learn anything extra or irrelevant. It starts at the beginning, shows you what you need to know, and covers all the essential elements of building your modern user interface. This includes: •all the standard GUI widgets •attractively laying out your user interface •managing menus, windows, and dialogs •organizing more complex user interfaces •Tkinter's powerhouse widgets: canvas and text •customizing the look of your user interface •making it all work on macOS, Windows, and Linux You may have been using older documentation or are updating a Tkinter program written years ago. If so, you'll find warnings of what to avoid using, and how to replace it with a modern solution. There's even a full case study of modernizing the user interface of a seriously out-of-date Tkinter application you may be familiar with. Let veteran software developer Mark Roseman show you the right way to build user interfaces with Python and Tkinter. He's been using Tk (the technology behind Tkinter) since its early days. He's shipped dozens of open source tools and commercial applications based on it. He's also the author of the multi-lingual TkDocs tutorial, the de facto online guide for building modern Tk user interfaces. This book brings together all new material and Python-specific information from that tutorial. Contents •Introduction •Tk and Tkinter: Then and Now •Installing Tkinter •A First (Real) Example •Tkinter Concepts •Basic Widgets •The Grid Geometry Manager •Structuring Tkinter Code •Refining our Code •More Widgets •Event Loop •Menus •Windows and Dialogs •Organizing Complex Interfaces •Fonts, Colors, Images •Canvas •Text •Treeview •Styles and Themes •Custom Styles and Themes •Case Study: IDLE Modernization •Appendix: Tkinter Class API Reference

Obsolete - Garrison Lovely Cover Art

Obsolete

Obsolete The AI Industry’s Trillion Dollar Race to Replace Us—and How to Stop It by Garrison Lovely

Is AI a bubble or humanity’s last invention? An existing harm or an existential threat? Obsolete cuts through the hype and false binaries to answer all the AI questions you have, while raising some you probably aren’t prepared for. The richest companies in history are racing to build a machine that replaces human labor—all of it. And, as this provocative new book insists, the only surefire way they won’t succeed is if we stop them. Many today don’t get further than seeing AI as a boondoggle—a new shiny object for techno-capitalists to sink their cash into as we barrel toward climate disaster. Obsolete takes those concerns seriously, but implores us to keep our eye on the ball: the attempt to render you obsolete. The scale of their project has no real precedent. What we think of as big—the Gilded Age monopolies, the Manhattan Project, the Apollo program—doesn’t even come close to capturing its size. Almost none of us wants this vast transformation to succeed. Yet we’re letting it proceed virtually unabated. Why? Because we don’t know it’s happening, we don’t believe it will work, or we don’t think we can stop it. Obsolete takes on all three. AI expert and journalist Garrison Lovely’s debut is a refreshing reset on an AI debate in which basically everyone is getting some big things wrong. With deep access to top researchers, advocates, and industry insiders, Obsolete offers a new way to think about the technology and a plan for deciding its future democratically.

AI for Good - Josh Tyrangiel Cover Art

AI for Good

AI for Good How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Things That Matter by Josh Tyrangiel

In contrast to the wave of noisy polemics around AI, AI For Good explores how, in practice, it can actually improve our lives and tells the stories of everyday citizens at the forefront of this new “AI entrepreneurship.” AI is often framed as a force of radical transformation, either catapulting us into a utopian future or dragging us toward existential ruin. But this book tells a different story. It’s not about high-profile tech CEOs who want to use AI to “break shit,” but about a bunch of smart pragmatists using AI to make the world better. Josh Tyrangiel’s journey into AI began with a late-night YouTube video featuring General Gustave Perna, the retired four-star general who orchestrated the distribution of Covid vaccines during Operation Warp Speed. Perna’s success—and the end of the pandemic—depended on AI’s practical ability to synthesize and standardize vast amounts of logistical data. AI wasn’t the hero of the story—it was the tool that helped real people get things done. This book follows those people, who make up a kind of AI counterculture. It explores AI’s quiet revolution in government services, medicine, education, and human connection—places where it’s being used to amplify human judgment rather than replace it. It tells the stories of teachers, doctors, and bureaucrats who often stumbled into AI as a means to solve specific, tangible problems, often with no prior software expertise. While the loudest voices in AI debate doomsday scenarios and trillion-dollar market opportunities, this book focuses on those working in the messy, incremental, but deeply impactful space of AI practice. However, there is one big caveat—success is not guaranteed. Change is hard. Institutions move slowly. But even in failure there are lessons for everyone who’s interested in using AI—carefully, thoughtfully—to build a better world today.

Tour of C++, A - Bjarne Stroustrup Cover Art

Tour of C++, A

Tour of C++, A by Bjarne Stroustrup

In A Tour of C++, Third Edition, Bjarne Stroustrup provides an overview of ISO C++, C++20, that aims to give experienced programmers a clear understanding of what constitutes modern C++. Featuring carefully crafted examples and practical help in getting started, this revised and updated edition concisely covers most major language features and the major standard-library components needed for effective use. Stroustrup presents C++ features in the context of the programming styles they support, such as object-oriented and generic programming. His tour is remarkably comprehensive. Coverage begins with the basics, then ranges widely through more advanced topics, emphasizing newer language features. This edition covers many features that are new in C++20 as implemented by major C++ suppliers, including modules, concepts, coroutines, and ranges. It even introduces some library components in current use that are not scheduled for inclusion in the standard until C++23. This authoritative guide does not aim to teach you how to program (for that, see Stroustrup's Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++, Second Edition ), nor will it be the only resource you'll need for C++ mastery (for that, see Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition, and recommended online sources). If, however, you are a C or C++ programmer wanting greater familiarity with the current C++ language, or a programmer versed in another language wishing to gain an accurate picture of the nature and benefits of modern C++, you won't find a shorter or simpler introduction.

Use Claude to Build 7 AI Trading Bots - John Cook Cover Art

Use Claude to Build 7 AI Trading Bots

Use Claude to Build 7 AI Trading Bots Stocks, Options, Crypto. The Multi-Strategy Playbook used for Backtesting and Live Trading by John Cook

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 Claude pick the strategy. Meanwhile, on reddit traders are posting receipts. One built a Claude Code trading bot in two days and turned $68 into $1.7M scanning Polymarket markets while syncing BTC data from Binance. Another runs a six-agent system: two Claude Sonnet instances for the high-conviction calls, four DeepSeek instances for the cheap-tier audit pass. A third connects Claude to Schwab via Cowork and ships a working bot in one day. The difference isn't talent. It's that they figured out the rule none of the books teach: Claude builds the bot. Deterministic Python rules execute the bot. The human owns the strategy. This playbook gives you all 7 bots and the architecture that runs them. By Chapter 3, you have a trend-following bot trading SPY, QQQ, and ES futures with Donchian breakouts and ATR trailing stops, walk-forward backtested across five regimes from 2018 through today. By Chapter 5, you have a post-earnings drift bot that reads transcripts in 30 minutes and sizes positions by surprise magnitude. By Chapter 7, you have a Greek-aware options flow bot with delta budget, gamma cap, IV-crush filter, and theta-decay close rules that book #1 did not teach. By Chapter 9, you have a multi-bot portfolio allocator running risk-parity capital allocation, rolling 90-day correlation drops, and per-strategy drawdown circuit breakers. By Chapter 10, you know how to detect a Claude hallucination in your backtest before you go live and lose real money. All seven bots come with a free companion GitHub repo: complete, runnable code, cloneable and running offline with zero API keys. Here is what you will build: 1. A trend-following bot for stocks and futures with Donchian breakout entries and ATR trailing stops 2. A cointegrated pairs bot using Engle-Granger and Z-score entries with VIX regime filter 3. A post-earnings drift bot that reads transcripts and sizes by surprise magnitude 4. A news sentiment bot where Claude scores impact and Python rules pull the trigger 5. A Greek-aware options flow whale-mirror with delta budget, gamma cap, IV-crush filter, theta sweep 6. A crypto cash-and-carry arbitrage bot capturing funding-rate spread on Binance and Bybit 7. A multi-bot portfolio allocator with risk-parity sizing, correlation monitor, and drawdown circuit breakers The 7 strategies in this book work because most retail builders have not separated "Claude builds the bot" from "Claude trades the bot." That window is closing. Every week another five no-code TradingView books hit Amazon promising the same thing without the architecture that actually survives live markets. This book is 200+ pages of working Python code, walk-forward backtested across five market regimes, with a realism layer that nets out slippage, commissions, latency, AND the cost of Claude inference per trade.

Build TradingView Signals with Claude Code - John Cook Cover Art

Build TradingView Signals with Claude Code

Build TradingView Signals with Claude Code Ship Pine v6 Indicators, Alerts, Backtests & Webhooks This Weekend by John Cook

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 TradingView Signals with Claude Code shows you how to move to the owner side. First, you build Pine v6 TradingView signals you can test, alert, and trade yourself, no Python required. Then you learn the second path: publish a free version as proof, put stronger versions behind invite-only access, rent scripts for 30, 90, or 365 days, or sell custom indicators to chartists who still cannot get Claude to compile clean Pine. This is not a vague "AI trading" book. It is a build book for signal systems: the ./docs folder, the CLAUDE.md rules, the four-part prompts, the indicators, the strategies, the alerts, the webhook loop, the gotchas card, and the public-library publishing path. Inside, you build 12 assets that make you a more dangerous chartist: 1. A Pine v6 setup that makes Claude read the manual first. 2. Prompts that turn signal ideas into working scripts. 3. Three TradingView indicators you can put on a chart. 4. Four strategies with sizing, stops, exits, and friction. 5. The breakeven stop-loss fix that prevents fake fills. 6. Alerts that carry real trade context. 7. A webhook loop for Claude trade analysis. 8. A checklist for spotting fake 93% backtests. 9. A faster loop for testing more signal ideas. 10. A 15-row Pine gotchas card. 11. Reusable prompts for the next indicator. 12. One published TradingView indicator as proof. The first money path is your own trading: signals you understand, alerts you control, and backtests you know how to distrust. The second money path is the asset: build a useful signal, prove it in public, publish the free version, rent the stronger version, and sell custom Pine work to people who still think coding indicators is expensive magic. One hundred $50 rentals is $5,000/month. A custom Pine job can pay more than the book, the TradingView plan, and the Claude subscription combined. If you can read a chart but cannot write Pine or Python from scratch, this is your weekend build book.

Use Claude to Build an AI Trading Bot - John Cook Cover Art

Use Claude to Build an AI Trading Bot

Use Claude to Build an AI Trading Bot 90 Days with Stocks and Prediction Markets by John Cook

You've seen the screenshots. $300 turned into $11,550. A "quant mesh" bot printing money while someone sleeps. You opened Twitter, saw the numbers, and thought: "How do I build that?" Then you searched Amazon and found 50 books that promise "AI trading" but deliver recycled crypto theory and zero working code. This book is different. You will build a working AI trading bot this weekend. Not theory. Not "concepts." A real Python bot connected to live market data through Claude and Unusual Whales MCP, placing paper trades on Alpaca, and validated with Monte Carlo backtesting before you risk a single dollar. By page 50, your bot is screening stocks. By page 100, it's trading options flow. By page 150, it's betting on Polymarket. This 2nd edition fixes what made the first wave of AI trading books age fast: fake-free tools, broken setup commands, and Python steps that assumed you already knew what you were doing. You get the actual 2026 stack: free-first paper trading with Alpaca and public market data, paid Unusual Whales options flow when the signal is worth graduating into, and Claude Code creating the files, writing the Python, running the scripts, and debugging errors with you. Every bot in this book comes with a free companion GitHub repo: complete, runnable code, cloneable and running offline with zero API keys. Inside you'll find: 1. Build a stock screener bot in 45 minutes flat. 2.Wire Claude into live options flow and auto-trade whale moves. 3. Backtest with Monte Carlo simulations (1,000 runs, not guesswork). 4. Build a prediction-market bot for Polymarket and Kalshi. 5. Run a multi-agent "hedge fund" with 4 specialized AI traders on your laptop. 6. Go live safely: a 90-day plan from paper trading to real capital with hard stop-loss rules. 7. Avoid the 5 failures that destroy most AI trading bots (Chapter 11 is brutally honest). 8. Use the full Python-with-Claude-Code workflow so you are not stuck staring at a blank file. Every week you wait, another 5 books drop on this topic with stale pricing, wrong install commands, and recycled 2024 assumptions. The free-first stack is real. The paid tools are named before you need them. The only thing between you and a working trading bot is this book. Scroll up and click Buy Now.

Ciphers, Fractals, and Fibonacci - John Lehet Cover Art

Ciphers, Fractals, and Fibonacci

Ciphers, Fractals, and Fibonacci Exploring Math with Python by John Lehet

Ciphers, Fractals, and Fibonacci teaches readers how to understand mathematics by experimenting with it. Using short, focused Python programs, readers explore how mathematical ideas behave, change, and interact — developing intuition through observation rather than memorization. Mathematics often feels abstract because it is taught as static symbols on a page. But real understanding comes from seeing how ideas behave when you change them. Ciphers, Fractals, and Fibonacci brings an experimental mindset to mathematics, using Python as a tool for exploration. Across eighteen carefully chosen topics, readers write and modify small programs to observe patterns, test assumptions, and see mathematical concepts unfold in real time. This is not a programming book, and it is not a traditional math textbook. Instead, it treats math the way scientists treat physical systems: by running experiments, asking “what if?”, and learning from what happens. With only basic arithmetic and algebra as prerequisites, readers develop mathematical intuition by doing, not by rote.

JavaScript: The Good Parts - Douglas Crockford Cover Art

JavaScript: The Good Parts

JavaScript: The Good Parts The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford

Most programming languages contain good and bad parts, but JavaScript has more than its share of the bad, having been developed and released in a hurry before it could be refined. This authoritative book scrapes away these bad features to reveal a subset of JavaScript that's more reliable, readable, and maintainable than the language as a whole—a subset you can use to create truly extensible and efficient code. Considered the JavaScript expert by many people in the development community, author Douglas Crockford identifies the abundance of good ideas that make JavaScript an outstanding object-oriented programming language-ideas such as functions, loose typing, dynamic objects, and an expressive object literal notation. Unfortunately, these good ideas are mixed in with bad and downright awful ideas, like a programming model based on global variables. When Java applets failed, JavaScript became the language of the Web by default, making its popularity almost completely independent of its qualities as a programming language. In JavaScript: The Good Parts, Crockford finally digs through the steaming pile of good intentions and blunders to give you a detailed look at all the genuinely elegant parts of JavaScript, including: SyntaxObjectsFunctionsInheritanceArraysRegular expressionsMethodsStyleBeautiful features The real beauty? As you move ahead with the subset of JavaScript that this book presents, you'll also sidestep the need to unlearn all the bad parts. Of course, if you want to find out more about the bad parts and how to use them badly, simply consult any other JavaScript book. With JavaScript: The Good Parts, you'll discover a beautiful, elegant, lightweight and highly expressive language that lets you create effective code, whether you're managing object libraries or just trying to get Ajax to run fast. If you develop sites or applications for the Web, this book is an absolute must.
