Описание: Recent startling successes in machine intelligence using a technique called 'deep learning' seem to blur the line between human and machine as never before. Are computers on the cusp of becoming so intelligent that they will render humans obsolete? Harry Collins argues we are getting ahead of ourselves, caught up in images of a fantastical future dreamt up in fictional portrayals. The greater present danger is that we lose sight of the very real limitations of artificial intelligence and readily enslave ourselves to stupid computers: the 'Surrender'.
By dissecting the intricacies of language use and meaning, Collins shows how far we have to go before we cannot distinguish between the social understanding of humans and computers. When the stakes are so high, we need to set the bar higher: to rethink 'intelligence' and recognize its inherent social basis. Only if machine learning succeeds on this count can we congratulate ourselves on having produced artificial intelligence.

Описание:
Joey Hopkins is a Locomotive Engineer and former Master-at-arms in the Navy. Jacob Russell is an undercover ATF agent and former Navy Seal. Their paths cross with tragic consequences when Joey is asked by a detective to help with an investigation. When the favor goes wrong, Joey kills Jacob in self-defense, not knowing that he is an undercover officer.
When Jacob reaches the outskirts of heaven, he is offered a deal. He can see his beloved wife again so long as he takes a position as a Guardian Angel. He accepts the job only to discover he must protect Joey, the man who killed him. To makes matters worse, Joey soon sustains a head injury to Jacob's delight. It backfires when Joey can suddenly see and hear his resentful Guardian Angel.
Jacob has his hands full as trouble always seems to follow Joey around. When Jacob requests that Joey save his wife, his troubles triple since she is wild and comes with a set of twins. Joey carries around his guilt while Jacob struggles to overcome his bitterness. Now, these two heroes must battle both evil and themselves as they learn to accept each other.

Описание:
This book fills a void for a balanced approach to spreadsheet-based decision modeling. In addition to using spreadsheets as a tool to quickly set up and solve decision models, the authors show how and why the methods work and combine the user's power to logically model and analyze diverse decision-making scenarios with software-based solutions. The book discusses the fundamental concepts, assumptions and limitations behind each decision modeling technique, shows how each decision model works, and illustrates the real-world usefulness of each technique with many applications from both profit and nonprofit organizations.
The authors provide an introduction to managerial decision modeling, linear programming models, modeling applications and sensitivity analysis, transportation, assignment and network models, integer, goal, and nonlinear programming models, project management, decision theory, queuing models, simulation modeling, forecasting models and inventory control models.

Описание: First published in 1940, this book re-examines Christ`s admonition to `render unto Caesar that which is Caesar`s`. Loewe places the incident in its rabbinical and historical context in order to explain fully the impact of Christ`s statement and its potential application to modern relations between individuals and the state.
