Seems like if you're doing static masking and you mask enough data, this works just great. Am I missing something?

In both the article and Kurzweil's case, it just depends on how you want to set up the goal posts (which the article somewhat alludes to). If you want to measure flops and compare that way (which is similar to what you're suggesting), sure, we've surpassed human-level intelligence. If you want to measure capabilities like autonomous navigation (like the article does) there is still a ways to go before we have animal-level capabilities. Both discussions have merit. But it's a question of measurements and goal posts.

Somewhat related: for the Neon internal hackathon a few weeks ago I wrote a little Node.js server that turns Redis's wire protocol (RESP) into Postgres queries. Very fun hack project: https://github.com/btholt/redis-to-postgres

+1. It's been 15 years since I used Tracker but I miss that aspect of it.

Jon, the creator of the site, worked at Twitter when he made this. I imagine a lot of the people to fill this out are friends and colleagues of his.

It's a normal PM position and you'd be in the normal PM salary bands. You'd be my peer. I manage the server-side SDKs, the CLI, the VS Code extension, the React Native SDK, the API upgrade experience, etc. We'd be in the same ladder. (AFAIK there's just one PM ladder at Stripe)

We get to use Markdoc every day and it is a joy to work with.
Shameless plug: we're looking for someone to come in and a product manager over the Stripe Docs. Imagine working on docs at the company known for docs. Very fun problems.

Nope, I don't know of anyone working on Perl stuff in DevDiv but it's a big division.

Well, the TypeScript and .NET organizations live within the Developer Division, and now we have Guido so there's Python. We also have fairly substantial dev tooling teams for C++ and Java so I imagine some of the contributors are there. We also have Node.js contributors as well as Electron (due to VS Code). Source: I work in DevDiv as well.

Malcom Gladwell addresses why proactive policing doesn't work at length in his book "Talking to Strangers". He refers to it as Kansas City style policing. Highly recommended.

Hey friends! This is Brian Holt, the author of course. Finding this on the front page of HN is an unexpected delight.
Just wanted to let you all know that the accompanying videos for this are free too[1] (you just have to create an account.)

Using this logic, dollars are creating value by wasting paper and metal. What you're ignoring is the value of having a publicly auditable ledger of transactions and a decentralized currency. That _isn't_ a waste of electricity.
There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of cryptocurrency; this just isn't a good one.
