A practical field guide for using AI assistants at work—and engineering them in production. Learn the standards that prevent “sounds right, wrong” outputs: specs, grounding, tools, evals, guardrails, and cost control.

What if peace has never failed—only our systems have? For thousands of years, humanity has tried to govern itself through kings, empires, ideologies, and democracies—yet conflict persists. Homocracy and Digital Public Infrastructure exposes the hidden flaw shared by all traditional systems: the violation of individual free will. This book introduces Homocracy, a new model of governance where every human being is an equal shareholder, leadership is a service, and power cannot be centralized. Grounded in The Absolute Truth of Existence (TAToE) and enabled by modern Digital Public Infrastructure, Homocracy transforms governance from coercion into cooperation. Not a political manifesto. Not a utopia. A blueprint for a peaceful human civilization—engineered, not imagined.

Mastering Advanced Time Series Forecasting in Python is the definitive sequel to the #1 forecasting bestseller. Designed for practitioners who want to go beyond ARIMA and basic ML, this book takes you deep into probabilistic forecasting, hierarchical coherence, and cutting-edge foundation models—backed by production-ready Python code. Learn how to assess forecastability, build scalable pipelines, quantify uncertainty, and deploy systems that deliver real business impact. Written by a globally recognized expert whose methods power multimillion-dollar decisions, this is the practical, honest, and advanced guide every data scientist, ML engineer, and quantitative professional needs to master modern forecasting.

This reference volume consists of revised, edited, cross-referenced, and thematically organized articles from the Software Diagnostics and Observability Institute and the Software Diagnostics Library (former Crash Dump Analysis blog) about software diagnostics, root cause analysis, debugging, crash and hang dump analysis, and software trace and log analysis written from 15 April 2024 to 14 November 2025.

A model that wins on MAPE can lose money on the shelf. A 15% accuracy gain can hide a 12% bias. An interval that looks tight can be wrong a third of the time.Forecast metrics are decision instruments, not neutral truth detectors — and most teams are still choosing them by habit. This book shows where MAE, MAPE, sMAPE, WAPE, MASE, RMSSE, CRPS, pinball loss, energy scores, bias measures and cost-based metrics help, and where they quietly mislead.Twelve chapters take you from elicitation and baselines through intermittent demand, probabilistic and hierarchical scoring, and the accuracy–utility gap, to a production evaluation system with monitoring, drift detection, alerting and governance. Every metric arrives with its assumptions, every criticism carries a remedy, and a retrospective Walmart M5 case study runs throughout, with Python listings and reproducibility checks.For demand planners, forecasting data scientists, ML engineers and analytics leads who need evaluation choices they can defend. Measure what matters.

This book reveals the essential mathematics powering AI, data science, and finance, making complex concepts accessible and exciting for every reader. Discover the practical applications of math that are already influencing your daily life.
