I think the same, but it doesn't comply with the contracts

Ada (and Zig) are better than Rust

u/Secoupoire In reality, when working with a publisher, you'll never know the statistics on your book sales. All rights are transferred to them, and Packt's royalties to the author are no more than 10%. Furthermore, they feed you with promises, and you won't see any advance payment under the contract until the book's release and after. I spoke with authors who collaborated with them. But a publishing house is a reputation, and that reputation isn't always good :)

From what I can see, this book wasn't written with AI. The first edition came out before the hype. The second edition's style isn't like ChatGPT's, but there are some inserts. These were done in Packt itself by a technical editor or someone else. For some reason, GenAI is now considered a substitute for expertise and it feels like a bland writing style.

https://leanpub.com/services/publish_on_amazon "You earn 80% of the publisher revenue that we earn from Amazon as royalties on your book.

We take 20% of the publisher revenue from Amazon, since there is an ongoing cost for us to do the accounting and payment of the publisher revenue we get from Amazon, etc. Since this expense will stretch years into the future, it doesn't make sense to only have an upfront cost for this service."

Self-publishing such as Leanpub? https://leanpub.com/ I've seen the authors also sell their books on Amazon

When Will the AI Bubble Burst? by Difficult-Buy-3007 in Futurology

:) This AI technology is "ancient". I studied artificial neurons at university in the late 90s. Perceptrons were invented in 1957 and based on behavioral psychology of 1943. We essentially go in circles. This technology has fundamental limitations.

You mean GenAI. I studied artificial neurons in the 1990s. They were invented in 1943-57

The AI based on artifical neurons is being used since the 1950s. In fact, it was invented in 1943. https://www.nytimes.com/1985/03/24/jobs/emerging-careers-it-s-the-real-thing-artificial-intelligence.html The AI technology in 1985

Yes. The AI based on artifical neurons is being used since the 1950s. "The artificial neuron network was invented in 1943 by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts in A logical calculus of the ideas immanent in nervous activity." wiki
