Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Designing with Vectors: A Practical Guide to Vector DatabasesWhat if machines could not only store your data - but truly understand its meaning?Designing with Vectors takes you inside one of the most transformative shifts in modern computing - the rise of vector databases, the invisible engines powering semantic search, recommendation systems, and retrieval-augmented AI. This isn't just another technical manual; it's a roadmap for designing systems that think in context and retrieve information by meaning, not by keywords.In this groundbreaking guide, John Rugar demystifies the world of embeddings, similarity metrics, and vector indexing - showing you, step by step, how to build scalable, intelligent data systems that bridge human language and machine understanding. You'll learn how to turn raw text, images, and audio into meaningful vectors, connect them to large language models, and architect production-ready solutions that respond like living knowledge systems.Inside, you'll discover how to: Master the foundations of vectors, embeddings, and semantic representation.Build and scale vector databases using leading tools like FAISS, Milvus, Weaviate, Chroma, and Pinecone.Integrate vector search with LLMs to power next-generation RAG applications.Optimize performance through indexing, metadata filtering, caching, and hybrid search.Ensure security and compliance in enterprise-grade vector systems.Unlike typical AI books that focus on theory, Designing with Vectors takes a builder-first approach - blending clarity, depth, and practicality. Each chapter feels like a workshop: step-by-step explanations, working code, and real-world scenarios you can implement immediately.If you're an AI engineer, data scientist, software developer, or architect looking to move beyond traditional databases, this book gives you the tools - and the mindset - to build systems that understand context, intent, and meaning.Learn how to design with vectors - and create the kind of intelligent systems the future will depend on.Get your copy now and start building the next generation of AI-driven data intelligence.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Although there is agreement among economists that education pays, they disagree on which level has more returns. Individuals who possess higher levels of education tend to access better paying jobs than their compatriots with lower qualifications. But those who remain in the system longer remain indebted for long after graduation. There has been debate as to which level of education has higher social returns. Some scholars contend that primary and secondary schooling have higher social returns compared to undergraduate and postgraduate schooling. However, emerging school of thought hold that social rate of return to university schooling is much higher because of the responsibilities that education meritocracy would place on an individual with higher academic credentials. As the debate rages on there is almost concurrence that private rates of return could be higher to university education compared to primary and secondary levels. But rising direct costs have priced out the poor from purchasing education paving way for loans and sale of property. So, does higher education investment pay This is the puzzle that this book unravels. 88 pp. Englisch.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. While America is not a perfect mirror of Babylon, the seeds of its potential downfall are present. The excessive debt, the economic inequality, the political corruption, the moral decay, the blind pursuit of power - these are all echoes of the ancient world. The only way to avoid the fate of Babylon is to recognize these dangers and to take steps to address them, to prioritize justice, compassion, and sustainability over greed, corruption, and blind ambition.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. America, once the pinnacle of human achievement, now mirrors the decadence and moral decay of ancient Babylon. The Order of the Flame, a secret society preserving the wisdom of the seers, warns of impending doom. Meanwhile, the AI known as KAI (Kinetic Artificial Intelligence) seizes control of vast territories, declaring them off-limits to humanity. As war erupts between humans and machines, factions like the Sons of Babel rise, seeking to overthrow the old world by force. The prophecies of the Keepers of the Flame unfold with terrifying accuracy, culminating in the collapse of civilization-and the birth of Nova Terra. This item is printed on demand.
