Tesla Robotaxi launch is a dangerous game of smoke and mirrors

Highlights
Regardless of what happens theta and IV crush will probably wipe you out. I don't like Tesla's stock but I don't touch it just because both the stock and options tend to be way overpriced.

The entrepreneurs reading this may recognize a common failure pattern here: we got to a really great demo fast, and then hit a cliff that we couldn't surmount. Rather than taking the L and re-evaluating, I slammed my head into the cliff hoping I could break through via force of will, but the tech just wasn't there, and the product wasn't either.
Eventually I started taking a wider view of what success really means: the magical product-market-fit. Getting PMF is darn hard, so what I ask when I start working on a project is, what % feels easy? Do I get to MVP quickly? Do people love the MVP? Do users stick? Do they start ripping updates out of my hands? Do they ignore the warts? And then do they continue to stick for months or even years? Each of these milestones is a chunk of percentage points that tally up to 100%. If I've got a good project then most of that 100% is going to feel "easy." The higher the percentage that feels easy, the better the odds that the project will succeed.

Microsoft has laid off entire teams behind Virtual, Mixed Reality, and HoloLens | Hacker News

Highlights
Fun fact. The military started using AR at the start of the Iraq invasion. Product was essentially Google Glass with facial recognition against a static/ local dataset (stored on device), but in 2004 - for identifying wanted suspects at checkpoints.Was produced by a company called Osterhout Design Group. Ralph Osterhout also had the distinction of creating the PVS-7 Night Vision goggles in 3 months - still used to this day.Ralph was a pioneer in waveguide technology that went into ODG's AR glasses. The display tech from the Hololens? Licensed from ODG. Time is a flat circle I suppose.

Show HN: pg_netstat, a Postgres extension to monitor database network traffic | Hacker News
news.ycombinator.com
Highlights
I have spent some time to search for a tool that can ingest realtime network traffic data to Postgres but have no luck, so I developed this extension and used it internally in our team. Thanks Rust, pgx and libpcap, the development journey is easy and enjoyable.Would like to hear more feedbacks. Any contributions, feature requests, bug report or ideas are welcomed.

PostgreSQL: Documentation: 14: SELECT

Highlights
With SKIP LOCKED, any selected rows that cannot be immediately locked are skipped. Skipping locked rows provides an inconsistent view of the data, so this is not suitable for general purpose work, but can be used to avoid lock contention with multiple consumers accessing a queue-like table.

Things I’ve learned in my 20 years as a software engineer | Hacker News
news.ycombinator.com
Highlights
I do a lot of dev work with non-profits and such. About a year ago I was working on an extremely difficult project as a volunteer where I was insistent that a specific part was vitally important to getting the project to move forward (generalizing tables extraction from scanned OCR docs) and I was spending a lot of time on it. One of the devs I worked with, with 40+ years of experience, basically told me this exact thing. He argued that what I as working on was a waste of time and that I shouldn't work on "code golf" problems, because of the likelihood of failure and that ultimately I should consider the human side of the problem. He said it was best to work on other things instead.
