There is a global need to become less fearful of coding, as it improves communication with the coders on the job and helps with prompt writing, which hiring companies often request. This set of story-based learning projects links performances and tasks with computing codes to show how a machine translates our goals into its language. Metaphors link instructions telling a computer what task to perform with similar functions in other disciplines. The materials serve those in Computer Graphic...

Many people relax when coding is introduced as a language, rather than math. Even if someone creates alone, the technology involved in the process has already been developed by somebody else. Even one person's business requires professional input from others, and collaborations are often performed online. This book mixes experiences in art, coding, music, dance, choreography, video, and stage design.Dances have unique structures and so do computer codes. In both disciplines, steps ...

Like art appreciation and music appreciation, this code appreciation book invites the readers to look relaxedly into major programming concepts used in many disciplines through short stories set in alphabetical order. Some students fear technology with programming behind it, and shy away from the word "coding." Coding has become common and needed, and these stories are set to help non-coders lose their inhibition. It also might help with prompt writing. Many employers seek employees with e...

If asked what all people can agree with, we can see one answer: we all love Nature, one way or another. In this book, impossible creatures (one can perceive as atoms, molecules, or minerals) playfully deliver computer codes, with an underlying notion that everything is connected: in nature, materials, sciences, techniques, computing, and the arts. In this innovative space, these characters introduce programming. While coding is intertwined into simple facts, Nature Appreciation...

This book offers strategies for the transfer of knowledge through combining information technology and visual arts, and examining how to visually enhance and convey knowledge. Specifically, it presents a fresh look at how technology-based, science-inspired projects can be innovatively delivery through artistic methods.It explores a selection of inventions gained through the collaboration of internationalist professionals in various fields of knowledge, before outlining a new approa...

As the title suggests, this book explores the concepts of drawing, graphics and animation in the context of coding. In this endeavour, in addition to initiating the process with some historical perspectives on programming languages, it prides itself by presenting complex concepts in an easy-to-understand fashion for students, artists, hobbyists as well as those interested in computer science, computer graphics, digital media, or interdisciplinary studies.Being able to code requires...

A lot of people are talking about "superintelligent AI" these days. But what are they talking about? Indeed, what is "intelligence" in the first place? This question is often left unanswered in discussions about the peril and promise of artificial intelligence. Magnus Vinding argues that greater clarity about the meaning and nature of "intelligence" is needed if we are to think clearly about the future of AI.

The Practical, Step-by-Step Guide to Using LLMs at Scale in Projects and ProductsLarge Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are demonstrating breathtaking capabilities, but their size and complexity have deterred many practitioners from applying them. In Quick Start Guide to Large Language Models, pioneering data scientist and AI entrepreneur Sinan Ozdemir clears away those obstacles and provides a guide to working with, integrating, and de...

From the visionary founder of the Self-Assembly Lab at MIT, a manifesto for the dawning age of active materialsThings in life tend to fall apart. Cars break down. Buildings fall into disrepair. Personal items deteriorate. Yet today's researchers are exploiting newly understood properties of matter to program materials that physically sense, adapt, and fall together instead of apart. These materials open new directions for industrial innovation and challenge us to r...

In November 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, a groundbreaking natural language processing technology that uses deep learning algorithms to generate and create new text content, signaling a potential shift in how we interact with computers.Despite its immense popularity, this new technology has raised questions about its potential threat to content creators. Should we embrace this revolutionary tool, or be concerned about its impact?This book is for all technophiles who are fa...
