A lively introduction to MIT hacks from the police car on the Great Dome to the abduction of the Caltech cannonAn MIT hack is an ingenious benign and anonymous prank or practical joke often requiring engineering or scientific expertise and often pulled off under cover of darknessinstances of campus mischief sometimes coinciding with April Fools Day final exams or commencement It should not be confused with the sometimes nonbenign phenomenon of computer hacking Noteworthy MIT hacks over the years include the legendary HarvardYale Football Game Hack when a weather balloon emblazoned MIT popped out of the ground near the 50yard line the campus police car found perched on the Great Dome the apparent disappearance of the Institute presidents office and a faux cathedral complete with stained glass windows organ and wedding ceremony in a lobby Hacks are by their nature ephemeral although they live on in the memory of both perpetrators and spectators Nightwork drawing on the MIT Museums unique collection of hackrelated photographs and other materials describes and documents the best of MITs hacks and hacking culture This generously illustrated updated edition has added coverage of such recent hacks as the crosscountry abduction of rival Caltechs cannon a prank requiring months of planning intricate choreography and lastminute improvisation a fire truck on the Dome that marked the fifth anniversary of 911 and numerous pokes at the celebrated Frank Gehrydesigned Stata Center and even a working solarpowered Red Line subway car on the Great Dome Hacks have been said to express the essence of MIT providing as alumnus Andre DeHon observes an opportunity to demonstrate creativity and knowhow in mastering the physical world What better way to mark the 150th anniversary of MITs founding than to commemorate its native ingenuity with this new edition of Nightwork.

Gaining leadership experience so early in his career was transformative, to say the least, but 20 years into business, David still hadn\'t scratched the surface. That is until he discovered the secrets in this book. Applying these secrets and becoming intentional about growth made his career explode. Seemingly overnight, he became a leader in his industry, a philanthropist who provides free homes to wounded veterans, and a winner of major awards for leadership, culture, philanthropy, and home building. In this book, David shares his insights to help readers fast-track their growth.Learn how to: -Decode your clients\' and colleagues\' personality types to communicate more effectively with them-Become more efficient and productive and do the work that matters most-Strategically build your personal brand and expand your influence -Build your inner confidence to become the leader you always wanted to beIf you\'re just stepping into a new leadership role, want to advance to the next level faster, or simply want to expand your influence, this book is packed with real-world advice for making a bigger impact at work and getting ahead. Transcend what is expected of you, start being more intentional, and unlock your true potential. A concise overview of machine learning--computer programs that learn from data--the basis of such applications as voice recognition and driverless cars.Today, machine learning underlies a range of applications we use every day, from product recommendations to voice recognition--as well as some we don\'t yet use everyday, including driverless cars. It is the basis for a new approach to artificial intelligence that aims to program computers to use example data or past experience to solve a given problem. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Ethem Alpaydin offers a concise and accessible overview of the new AI. This expanded edition offers new material on such challenges facing machine learning as privacy, security, accountability, and bias.Alpaydin, author of a popular textbook on machine learning, explains that as Big Data has gotten bigger, the theory of machine learning--the foundation of efforts to process that data into knowledge--has also advanced. He describes the evolution of the field, explains important learning algorithms, and presents example applications. He discusses the use of machine learning algorithms for pattern recognition artificial neural networks inspired by the human brain algorithms that learn associations between instances and reinforcement learning, when an autonomous agent learns to take actions to maximize reward. In a new chapter, he considers transparency, explainability, and fairness, and the ethical and legal implications of making decisions based on data. In a world where everything is fast-paced from dating to devotion, everything is digitized. Everyone wants to be at the top in their industry. Attending meetings, growing sales, and following competitors, the to-do list gets bigger each day and the solution boils down to productivity.
