In all, this is a valuable addition to O'Reilly's already packed stable of Linux titles and I look forward to more from the author." --First Monday

LTE Cellular Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT): Practical Projects for the Cloud and Data Visualization
by Hossam FattahNB-IoT is the Internet of Things (IoT) technology used for cellular communication. NB-IoT devices deliver much better capability and performance, such as: increased area coverage of up to one kilometer; a massive number of devices—up to 200,000—per a single base-station area; longer battery lifetime of ten years; and better indoor and outdoor coverage for areas with weak signal, such as underground garages. The cellular NB-IoT technology is a challenging technology to use and understand. With more than 30 projects presented in this book, covering many use cases and scenarios, this book provides hands-on and practical experience of how to use the cellular NB-IoT for smart applications using Arduino™, Amazon Cloud, Google Maps, and charts. The book starts by explaining AT commands used to configure the NB-IoT modem; data serialization and deserialization; how to set up the cloud for connecting NB-IoT devices; setting up rules, policy, security certificates, and a NoSQL database on the cloud; how to store and read data in the cloud; how to use Google Maps to visualize NB-IoT device geo-location; and how to use charts to visualize sensor datasets. Projects for Arduino are presented in four parts. The first part explains how to connect the device to the mobile operator and cellular network; perform communication using different network protocols, such as TCP, HTTP, SSL, or MQTT; how to use GPS for geo-location applications; and how to upgrade NB-IoT modem firmware over the air. The second part explains the microcontroller unit and how to build and run projects, such as a 7-segment display or a real-time clock.

La Singularidad Económica: Inteligencia Artificial y Capitalismo de lujo totalmente automatizado
by Calum ChaceLa singularidad económica tendrá lugar en el momento en que la mayoría de las personas no pueda encontrar empleo, porque las máquinas puedan hacer todo lo que los humanos pueden hacer por dinero a un menor costo, más rápido y mejor que ellos. Algunos dicen que esto nunca sucederá, pero la mayoría de los profesionales de la IA creen que sí, aunque no se ponen de acuerdo cuándo. La inteligencia artificial (IA) ya sobrepasa a los humanos en absorber y procesar información. Los robots se están volviendo cada vez más diestros, flexibles y seguros (excepto los militares). La IA es nuestra tecnología más poderosa y debemos comprenderla. Esta tercera edición del libro más vendido de Calum Chace se ha actualizado y ampliado sustancialmente. Sostiene que la singularidad económica es el desafío más importante que enfrentará la humanidad en la primera mitad del siglo XXI, y también su oportunidad más interesante. Los coches autónomos y los teléfonos inteligentes con los que puedes conversar pueden ser los canarios en la mina de carbón, lo que brinde una llamada de atención para todos aquellos que aún dudan de su inminencia. Todos los trabajos se verán afectados, desde los empleos de comida rápida hasta abogados y periodistas. La popular creencia de que la Renta Básica Universal es la solución es sólo parcialmente correcta. Probablemente vamos a necesitar un sistema económico completamente nuevo, y pronto deberíamos comenzar a planificar para prepararnos para la Singularidad Económica. Chace sostiene que el resultado puede ser muy bueno: un mundo en el que las máquinas hacen todos los trabajos aburridos y los humanos hacen prácticamente lo que les place. Pero advierte que existen grandes riesgos, que solo podemos evitar estando alerta a los posibles futuros y planificando cómo evitar los negativos. Chace ha estado escribiendo sobre IA desde 1980 y ha escrito dos libros de no ficción muy vendidos y también dos novelas sobre el tema. En 201
La Singularité Économique: L'intelligence artificielle et le capitalisme de luxe entièrement automatisé
by Calum ChaceLa Singularité Économique La singularité économique désigne le moment où la majorité de la population se retrouvera au chômage, car les machines pourront accomplir toutes les tâches humaines plus rapidement, plus efficacement et à moindre coût. Si certains affirment qu’elle est impossible, beaucoup de spécialistes en IA l’envisagent, même s'ils divergent sur l’échéance à laquelle elle surviendra. L'Intelligence Artificielle (IA) est déjà plus performante que l'humain dans sa capacité d'assimilation et de traitement de l'information. Les robots deviennent de plus en plus habiles, flexibles et sécurisés (à l'exception des robots militaires). L'IA est la plus puissante de nos technologies, il est devenu vital de la comprendre. Cette troisième édition du best-seller de Calum Chace bénéficie d'une mise à jour et d'une extension substantielles. Il affirme que la singularité économique constitue le plus grand défi de l'humanité de la première moitié du XXIe siècle, mais aussi l'opportunité la plus prometteuse. Les voitures autonomes et les smartphones avec lesquels il est possible de dialoguer sont sans doute « les canaris dans la mine de charbon », qui tireront la sonnette d'alarme pour tous ceux qui n'y prêtent pas encore attention. Tous les métiers seront concernés, des McJobs de la restauration rapide, aux avocats et aux journalistes. La tendance à croire que le Revenu de Base Universel soit la solution idéale n'est que partiellement correcte. Nous aurons vraisemblablement besoin d'un tout nouveau système économique. Nous devons commencer dès maintenant à nous préparer à la Singularité Économique. Selon Chace, elle pourrait avoir une issue très positive. Nous pourrions vivre dans un monde où les machines se chargent de toutes les tâches ennuyeuses et où les humains font ce qui leur plaît. Mais il met en garde contre les risques majeurs, que nous ne pourrons éviter qu

La catedral de Turing: Los orígenes del universo digital
by George Dyson«Es posible inventar una sola máquina que pueda utilizarse para computar cualquier secuencia computable», anunció en 1936 un joven Alan Turing de veinticuatro años. En los años 40 y 50 un reducido grupo de hombres y mujeres, liderado por John von Neumann, se reunió en Princeton, New Jersey, para comenzar la construcción de una de los primeros ordenadores que materializaría la visión de Alan Turing de una máquina universal. Los códigos generados en ese embrión de universo de 5 kilobytes (menos memoria de lo que requiere un solo icono en la pantalla de un ordenador actual) rompieron la distinción entre números que significan cosas y números que hacen cosas, y nuestro universo cambió para siempre. La catedral de Turing es la historia de la invención más constructiva del siglo XX, el ordenador digital, de quiénes y cómo la crearon. Un relato histórico y profético que nos cuenta cómo el código logró conquistar el mundo y se aventura a plantear el futurodel universo digital."No es solo un libro extraordinario sobre ciencia. Es un libro extraordinario, punto." #The Globe and Mail «Si quieres estar mentalmente preparado para la próxima revolución informática, el libro de Dyson es imprescindible. Pero también es imprescindible si solo quieres una historia apasionada de cómo los científicos de verdad (como mínimo algunos) piensan y trabajan.» Literary Review
La censura horizontal: Un nuevo tribunal digital
by Javier Horacio Contreras Orozco«Javier Contreras ha escrito un libro excepcional y necesario en estos tiempos de tecnologización de la vida pública.» Ignacio Solares Hoy en día las redes sociales son mucho más que simples herramientas de entretenimiento, información y socialización: una parte de nuestras vidas transcurre dentro de ellas. Han ampliado nuestra capacidad de comunicación de forma inaudita, le han dado voz a personas que antes no la tenían y, sobre todo, permiten que la información fluya con una velocidad y en volúmenes sorprendentes. Sin embargo, estas características no han hecho de las redes sociales los espacios de diálogo y tolerancia que esperábamos de ellas. Por el contrario, con frecuencia las hemos visto convertirse en la gran hoguera del siglo xxi. En este libro, Javier Horacio Contreras Orozco analiza las condiciones y procesos que han llevado a las redes sociales a constituirse en un jurado universal que ejerce un nuevo tipo de censura: la poscensura o censura horizontal. A diferencia de la censura tradicional, que provenía de los gobiernos o de poderosos intereses privados, la censura horizontal es un sistema de vigilancia y silenciamiento entre pares. Un tribunal sin juez o, mejor dicho, en el que todos son jueces, pero en el que también todos pueden ocupar el banquillo de los acusados de un momento a otro. Al excluir a una gran cantidad de voces del debate público, la censura horizontal contribuye a la pandemia de desinformación que caracteriza nuestros días. Es uno más, como advierte Contreras Orozco, de los síntomas de la era de la posverdad.
