I didn’t start using Snapchat until I was a sophomore in high school in 2012. However, the app has been around since 2011, first used as a way to discreetly send photos that would disappear after a certain amount of time. The app first looked like this. It now looks like this. Looking back, it …
News Response 2 – AI in games
Reading “How the Artificial-Intelligence Program AlphaZero Mastered Its Games” by James Somers gave me mixed feelings - feelings of pride that humans could create something so smart but also of fear that machines could be programmed to be smarter than humans.

The place by my high school – 10/30/17
