Introduction: My Head is Open Source! Posted: June 22, 2011 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | Tags: 3d , makerbot , opensource | 8 Comments » Last night I visited friends at Makerbot , where artist-in-residence Jonathan Monaghan scanned my head with a high-resolution laser scanner. The model is available on Thingiverse and can be printed on your friendly neighborhood makerbot or other 3d printer. There are lots of other awesome models of people and things to play with, including Stephen Colbert’s head . I look forward to the emergence of plastic clone head armies!

Introduction: How to get a random line from a file in bash. Posted: May 2, 2011 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | Tags: bash , code , one-liner , remember , tips | 25 Comments » I work with a lot of data, and while I’d like to pretend it’s all in upside-down quasi-indexed b-tree rocket ships or some other advanced database, the truth is that much of it is in text files. I often find myself wanting to see a random line from one of these files, just to get a sense of what the data looks like. I thought there must be an easy bash way to do this, but I couldn’t find it (‘shuf’ isn’t installed on my server), so I turned to twitter, and now I’m pleased to present more methods for finding a random line than you ever expected! sort -R | head -n 1 If you can use this, do so! If it isn’t available, consider one of the following commands: @andrewgilmartin suggests using awk: awk 'BEGIN { srand() } rand() >= 0.5 { print; exit }' @devinteske offer

Introduction: Speaking: Entertain, Don’t Teach Posted: March 17, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: speaking | Tags: teaching | 7 Comments » It’s tempting to think of a talk as the opportunity to take a body of knowledge and to educate your audience about that body of knowledge. You have something in your head and you want to get it into theirs. Making education your top priority leads to terrible talks, with an unhappy audience that won’t retain any of the information you wanted them to remember, anyway. Instead, think about how you can create a compelling narrative through your material, layering in the deep technical content so that the most attentive listeners will take away a deep understanding while the people who are only half paying attention will, at the very least, enjoy the experience. I can’t think of any talk that demonstrates this better than Gary Bernhardt’s WAT: Remember: you’re entertaining , not educating . This article is part of my

Introduction: Devs Love Bacon: Everything you need to know about Machine Learning in 30 minutes or less Posted: July 4, 2012 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: Presentations | 30 Comments » I spoke at devs love bacon back in April on Everything You Need to know about Machine Learning in 30 Minutes or Less . The talk is geared toward engineers with no prior knowledge of machine learning, and it’s designed to lay out the basic vocabulary and way that we think about the world to provide an amusing foundation so that attendees will have a head start in investigating which techniques they might want to learn more about or implement. This talk is not an in-depth tutorial. Hilary Mason – Machine Learning for Hackers from BACON: things developers love on Vimeo .

Introduction: Tip: How to Search Google for Ideas Posted: July 30, 2007 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog | Tags: search | 1 Comment » Will someone please invent a way to search for ideas? Short on inspiration? Harvest ideas from the web by searching Google for “someone please invent” and see what people are wishing for. Using quotes around “someone please invent” insures that Google searches for that exact phrase only. You can further refine the query by adding related terms at the end of the query. For example, try searching for “someone please invent” game* to see game-related results.

Introduction: Startups: Why to Share Data with Academics Posted: January 28, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | 5 Comments » Last week I wrote a bit about how to share data with academics . This is the complimentary piece, on why you should invest the time and energy in sharing your data with the academic community. As I was talking to people about this topic it became clear that there are really two different questions people ask. First, why do this at all? And second, what do I tell my boss? Let’s start with the second one. This is what you should tell your boss: Academic research based on our work is a great press opportunity and demonstrates that credible people outside of our company find our work interesting. Having researchers work on our data is an easy way to access highly educated brainpower, for free, that in no way competes with us. Who knows what interesting stuff they’ll come up with? Personal relationships with university faculty ar

Introduction: Need actual random numbers? Meet the NIST randomness beacon. Posted: September 30, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: projects | Tags: beacon , python , random , randomness , randomnumbers | 5 Comments » I wrote a python module that wraps that NIST Randomness Beacon , making it simple to get truly random numbers in python. It’s easy to use: b = Beacon() print b.last_record() print b.previous_record() #and so on There’s also a handy generator for getting a set of n random numbers. (One of the best gifts I ever got was a copy of 1,000,000 Random Numbers , and I’ve been intrigued ever since.) Please note that this the randomness beacon is not intended to be a source of cryptographic keys — indeed, it’s a public set of numbers, so I wouldn’t recommend doing anything that could be compromised by someone else having the access to the exact same set of numbers . Rather, this is interesting precisely for the scientific opportunities that

I was looking for people willing to alpha test a little side project of mine, and it worked great and didn’t cost anything. The tweet itself: Love tech discussion but looking for a better community? Help me beta test a side project! https://t.co/H3DYjbCy19 — Hilary Mason (@hmason) December 12, 2013 I created it pretty easily: First, go to ads.twitter.com , log in, and go to “creatives”, then “cards”. Click “Create Lead Generation Card”. It’s a big blue button. You can include a title and a short description. Curiously, you can also include a 600px by 150px image. This seems like an opportunity to
