C++ is famous for getting all the default behaviors wrong and for sometimes making demons fly out of your nose. Through 25 puzzles, from the useful to the outright weird, we explore some of C++'s most interesting quirks. How does initialization actually work? Do temporaries even exist? Why is `+!!"" ` a valid expression in C++? As you work through each puzzle, you will peel off some of the layers of complexity of C++, getting a fundamental understanding of how the language works. This will help you write better code and recognize issues more easily while debugging.Each puzzle in the book is a complete, seemingly simple C++ program, but can you figure out the output for each, or will the answers stump you? Most of the programs compile and have deterministic, though sometimes surprising, output. Some might, however, have undefined behavior, where anything can happen, including making demons fly out of your nose! Yet others might have unspecified behavior with output that is not completely deterministic; we just know nothing as bad as nasal demons will happen.All puzzles are accompanied by detailed discussions, taking a look under the hood at what exactly is going on to help you understand more about C++'s unexpected behaviors, as well as fundamental concepts like initialization, overload resolution, and implicit conversions. For the non-deterministic cases, we'll explore some typical behaviors one can expect to see in practice, what causes them, and why they shouldn't be relied on.After working through the book, you'll have tools and techniques to help you write better and safer code, and a better understanding of the fundamentals of the language, the background for some of C++'s apparent weirdness, and a better feel for identifying bugs and unsafe code in your own programs.What You Need:The book assumes basic knowledge of C++. If you want to run the programs yourself, you can use either a local C++ compiler or the online compilers at https://godbolt.org.

The latest feel-good book packed with practical tips from the author of the smash-hit book on ADHD, autism and neurodivergence, UNMASKED. Ellie Middleton is back with a new, practical book to help you work WITH your neurodivergent brain rather than AGAINST it. In each chapter, she writes about the eight executive functions that neurodivergent people struggle with including working memory, prioritisation and emotional regulation and shares 5 simple tips for readers to try out, including: - Creating a launch pad to remember the essentials when you leave the house- Drawing a car park of ideas to help visualise your thoughts and manage impulse control- The 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 mindfulness technique to prevent spiralling and regulate emotions- Breaking up each day into Four Quadrants to approach every day with more flexibilityThis isn't another journal or planner that claims to organize your entire life because Ellie is the first to admit that she doesn't have things under control 100% of the time. This also is not a book about how to fit into the neurotypical way of doing things (aka masking). Instead, Ellie reveals why society tells us that we 'should' do things (read: patriarchy, ableism, White supremacy) and shows us how we can all free ourselves of those expectations, feel empowered and, ultimately, be more YOU.

AI has acquired startling new language capabilities in just the past few years. Driven by the rapid advances in deep learning, language AI systems are able to write and understand text better than ever before. This trend enables the rise of new features, products, and entire industries. Through the visually educational nature of this book, Python developers will learn the practical tools and concepts they need to use these capabilities today. You'll learn how to use the power of pre-trained large language models for use cases like copywriting and summarization; create semantic search systems that go beyond keyword matching; build systems that classify and cluster text to enable scalable understanding of large numbers of text documents; and use existing libraries and pre-trained models for text classification, search, and clusterings. This book also shows you how to: Build advanced LLM pipelines to cluster text documents and explore the topics they belong to Build semantic search engines that go beyond keyword search with methods like dense retrieval and rerankers Learn various use cases where these models can provide value Understand the architecture of underlying Transformer models like BERT and GPT Get a deeper understanding of how LLMs are trained Optimize LLMs for specific applications with methods such as generative model fine-tuning, contrastive fine-tuning, and in-context learning Jay Alammar is Director and Engineering Fellow at Cohere (pioneering provider of large language models as an API).
