With this essential guide, you'll learn how to create all kinds of AI-powered projects on Raspberry Pi!Combining Raspberry Pi hardware with artificial intelligence gives you new ways to interact with the world: turn your surroundings into a playing field with computer vision models, predict and adjust to changes in environmental conditions, and engage with people in natural ways.You'll learn how to enhance projects you build with Raspberry Pi computers and microcontrollers, with or without AI accelerator hardware. AI Projects with Raspberry Pi shows you how to run models directly on the CPU and on the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ and AI HAT+ 2 neural network accelerators. Whether you're using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 5, or the ultra-low-cost Raspberry Pi Pico, you'll find something in this guide from Raspberry Pi Press.You'll learn how to:Identify and categorise objects in pictures or videoRecognise and generate speechTranslate from one language to anotherUse generative AI models to create images or textTrain models to make predictions from sensor readings, such as temperature and accelerationThis book starts with a quick overview of the basics of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and then moves on to a variety of hands-on projects you can build yourself. It also includes full-colour illustrations as well as source code you can use in your own Raspberry Pi artificial intelligence adventures!

If you''re a developer or system administrator lured to Mac OS X because of its Unix roots, you''ll quickly discover that performing Unix tasks on a Mac is different than what you''re accustomed to. Mac OS X for Unix Geeks serves as a bridge between Apple''s Darwin OS and the more traditional Unix systems. This clear, concise guide gives you a tour of Mac OS X''s Unix shell in both Leopard and Tiger, and helps you find the facilities that replace or correspond to standard Unix utilities.You''ll learn how to perform common Unix tasks in Mac OS X, such as using Directory Services instead of the standard Unix /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and you''ll be able to compile code, link to libraries, and port Unix software using either Leopard and Tiger. This book teaches you to:

Navigate the Terminal and understand how it differs from an xtermUse Open Directory (LDAP) and NetInfo as well as Directory ServicesCompile your code with GCC 4Port Unix programs to Mac OS X with FinkUse MacPorts to install free/open source softwareSearch through metadata with Spotlight''s command-line utilitiesBuild the Darwin kernel

And there''s much more. Mac OS X for Unix Geeks is the ideal survival guide to tame the Unix side of Leopard and Tiger. If you''re a Unix geek with an interest in Mac OS X, you''ll soon find that this book is invaluable.

If you''re one of the many Unix developers drawn to Mac OS X for its Unix core, you''ll find yourself in surprisingly unfamiliar territory. Unix and Mac OS X are kissing cousins, but there are enough pitfalls and minefields in going from one to another that even a Unix guru can stumble, and most guides to Mac OS X are written for Mac aficionados. For a Unix developer, approaching Tiger from the Mac side is a bit like learning Russian by reading the Russian side of a Russian-English dictionary. Fortunately, O''Reilly has been the Unix authority for over 25 years, and in Mac OS X Tiger for Unix Geeks, that depth of understanding shows.This is the book for Mac command-line fans. Completely revised and updated to cover Mac OS X Tiger, this new edition helps you quickly and painlessly get acclimated with Tiger''s familiar-yet foreign-Unix environment. Topics include:

Using the Terminal and understanding how it differs from an xtermUsing Directory Services, Open Directory (LDAP), and NetInfoCompiling code with GCC 3Library linking and porting Unix softwareCreating and installing packages with FinkUsing DarwinPortsSearch through metadata with Spotlight''s command-line utilitiesBuilding the Darwin kernelRunning X Windows on top of Mac OS X, or better yet, run Mac OS X on a Windows machine with PearPC!Mac OS X Tiger for Unix Geeks is the ideal survival guide for taming the Unix side of Tiger. If you''re a Unix geek with an interest in Mac OS X, you''ll find this clear, concise book invaluable.

If you''re one of the many Unix developers drawn to Mac OS X for its BSD core, you''ll find yourself in surprisingly unfamiliar territory. Even if you''re an experienced Mac user, Mac OS X is unlike earlier Macs, and it''s radically different from the Unix you''ve used before, too.Enter "Mac OS X for Unix Geeks" by Brian Jepson and Ernest E. Rothman, two Unix geeks who found themselves in the same place you are. Their new book is your guide to figuring out the BSD Unix system and Mac-specific components that are making your life difficult and to help ease you into the Unix inside Mac OS X. This concise book includes such topics as:

A quick overview of the Terminal applicationUnderstanding Open Directory (LDAP) and NetInfoIssues related to using the GNU C Compiler 9GCCLibrary linking and porting Unix softwareAn overview of Mac OS X?s filesystem and startup processesCreating and installing packages using FinkBuilding the Darwin kernelRunning X Windows on top of Mac OS XThe book wraps up with a quick manpage-style reference to the "Missing Manual Pages"--commands that come with Mac OS X although there are no manpages.If you find yourself disoriented by the new Mac environment, Mac OS X for Unix Geeks can help you acclimate yourself quickly to the familiar, yet foreign, Unix landscape.
