Reply to Ever wanted to learn AI and machine learning? (It's really statistics in disguise) - Guide for visual learners presented in the form a of reactive web application by SaifKhayoon

The title is a bit inaccurate beside simplifying the whole of the field to just "statistics" I grouped in AI with Machine learning, when AI is actually a humongous field encompassing things from video game enemies to roombas, machine learning learning is a field within AI and deep learning which is the most impressive is a subfield of that

Definitely useful features. I guess the problem is that people who aren't really internet security -savvy, the people who would need this the most, will never hear of it. The preview link should be the default in any URL shortener.

Yes that is true. Many people, however, seem not to know about it.

Moreover, TinyUrl Checker aims to provide some features on top of that. Currently it verifies SSL certificates of the destination. If the checker gets some traction, I plan to add more features like checking the destination against blacklisted domains or analyzing URL parameters (is there any form of tracking, does it contain anything suspicious?)

GIF

>The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF; GHIF or JIF , see pronunciation) is a bitmap image format that was developed by a team at the online services provider CompuServe led by American computer scientist Steve Wilhite and released on 15 June 1987. It is in widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability between applications and operating systems. The format supports up to 8 bits per pixel for each image, allowing a single image to reference its own palette of up to 256 different colors chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space. It also supports animations and allows a separate palette of up to 256 colors for each frame.
