The one-year Treasury bill is yielding 5.47% Wednesday, and one-year CDs at some institutions offer annual percentage yields exceeding 5%. "It always makes sense to look at the landscape," said Danika Waddell, a certified financial planner and founder of Xena Financial Planning. Ally Financial and Bread Financial are among the institutions offering a higher renewal rate for customers who stick around. Consider that about a year ago, the average one-year CD had an APY of less than 1%, according to Bankrate.com . Consider that Synchrony Financial has an 11-month no-penalty CD that offers a 4.5% APY, while its 12-month standard CD yields 5.1%.

☆ A.I. Excels at Making Bad Art. Can an Artist Teach It to Create Something Good?

“Is It Good Enough to Fool My Gallerist?” David Salle, one of America’s most thoughtful painters, hoped an A.I. “We are sending the machine to art school,” Salle quipped, before expounding on the principles of light, shadow, depth and volume that good painting requires. Safe to say that nobody would mistake this image for a Salle painting. Salle’s style has changed over the years, which made capturing his essence a little more challenging for an algorithm. Put through the blender of a machine, Salle’s art becomes a remix: a pastiche of pastiches.

Money market funds Assets in retail money market funds grew to $1.99 trillion, according to the latest data from the Investment Company Institute . Further, even as money market funds offer relative safety, they can still face some risk. Don't confuse money market funds with money market accounts. Though money market accounts – which are offered by banks – are protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, up to $250,000, money market funds are not. Certificates of deposit and high-yield savings accounts Liquidity should be a big factor for investors eyeing bank products like CDs and high-yield savings accounts.

Danika Fickler, 18, a freshman at Colorado State University, on her 1986 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer drag racer, as told to A.J. I did a lot of growing up at Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka, Kan. My parents honeymooned at this racetrack when they married in 1993. Both of them have been drag racing since before I was born. My mom was a class winner at Heartland in 2005, 2006 and 2007, and my dad won a National Hot Rod Association [NHRA] national event there in 2019. When I go to Heartland now, people come up to me all the time to tell me that they knew me when I was a baby.
