Hello JSON formatting at my fingertips

Posted on February 19, 2020May 28, 2020 by Tessa Alexander

Occasionally I need to reformat a JSON file but didn’t have a goto command tool at my disposal. Surprise surprise old friend Python comes along ;)

$ echo '{"love": "everyone", "hate": "no one"}' | python -m json.tool
{
    "hate": "no one",
    "love": "everyone"
}

I just came across an interesting tool, Google’s Teachable Machine https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com while reading an article about projects attempting to shift the current bias built into many of our current AI systems. What teaching a robot to recognise black women’s hair taught me about the future of AI
– Google’s Teachable Machine helps under-represented groups create much-needed machine learning models.

A great tool to allow researchers and enthusiasts alike to explore their own data and potentially help inform and democratise some of the most influence AI algorithms emerging today.
