If their is high inflation (higher than the CD), then CDs are bad. Your money is locked in and losing real value over time due to the CD rates not being high enough.

Thats why I said it depends on what you are trying to defend against. What’s hard is the economy is teetering between recession->low interest rates and high inflation. It seems like the Fed has gotten inflation under relative control, but bond sell offs would probably trigger rising bond rates (as the US has to make bonds more appealing), which I fear could lead to inflationary pressure in the US. However, given Trump it’s hard to know what he’ll do next so maybe diversification is the only thing to do.

It depends on how the devaluation occurs. If it’s high inflation, then CDs screw you over in two ways; fixed rates and time locked.

Maybe not the worst game, but notable for being somewhat misleading - Mario Is Missing for the SNES.

If you’re not familiar with it, it’s is an educational game where you play as Luigi and walk around random cities asking questions, which is very different from other Mario games of the time.

Life is Beautiful is one of my favorites that should really only be watched with subtitles. It’s a really sad movie, but sticks with you in a good way.

They made a musical of it a while back. It didn’t do very well on Broadway, but it had some good songs in my opinion.

Yeah, if I’m making something “masked/obscured” I should export it so that it’s in a raw format. That way there is no Metadata or information that could be leaked by accident.

Think of the Trump Epstein files, in those they kept them as pdfs so you could just unhighlight the redacted sections. If they had export it as a jpeg/png you wouldn’t be able to extract any information.

There are ways to remove the content from a pdf, but as we’ve seen, that leaves rooms for errors.

If the image/video just has black pixels on the content, then there would be no information to extract and any attempt would just be filling things in.

When you talk about layers, you’re assuming that the creator left information behind in the Metadata, which wouldn’t require AI to extract.

There is a Final Space graphic novel coming out that should wrap up the plot!

I mean, you’re just replacing one archaic symbol with another.

Once you get into non-standard investments (so not stocks/etfs/CDs/etc.) things get a lot murkier a lot quicker. At some point you are just trusting some person with a lot of money. I mean look at Bernie Maddoff, he was just some guy promising a return on investments.

Thanks!

I’ve heard it mostly goes the other way (I mean even the US has eminent domain), do you have any examples of the wacky highways/railroads?

I was going to ask how this is different than a Reinforcement Learning algorithm but then they called out Deep Minds Alpha-Go

Robotron 2084 - there is a place by me that still has the arcade cabinet.

I assume because it’s cheaper and easier, but I was surprised to hear that too.

Not sure how real this survey is, but they say 83% of households do a fake tree.

Use Google Collab or another web hosted platform. If you’re unfamiliar Google Collab is a part of Google docs that you can run Jupyter Notebooks on (and it’s free). This avoids the need for anyone to install anything and means you can test materials in the same environment everyone will run against.

Additionally, Jupyter notebooks makes it easy to add markdown, so instructions can be in stylized format and the students can run the cells over and over again to see how the output changes in real time.

Lastly, I would lean towards python, but there are many different languages supported in Google Collab and similar web hosted tools.

Funnyjunk? Just checked and it’s still around, not sure if it matches what you’re looking for.

My point was the investment in vs the value out may not be worth it for many projects. Beyond that, it may not be maintainable for all projects (at least with how fast things have been changing in this space and the heavy reliance on 3rd party systems to make it work).

While you’re right that it’s a new technology and not everyone is using it right, if it requires all of that setup and infrastructure to work then are we sure it provides a material benefit. Most projects never get that kind of attention at all, to require it for AI integration means that currently it may be more work than it’s worth.
