Hi, I am exploring new ways to teach programming to my kid(10). Yesterday I made this strategy-like game, and I think it has potential, and I feel I can make it much more interesting, but it eludes me how. The goal is to have 'hacker&#

Sadly, I think we are beyond opt-out with any facial recognition. I recently showed[1] to my daughter (10) as teaching her python, how easy it is to build some basic facial recognition using modern libraries and models. I had it running wit
