  1. Hell… I ain’t never even heard of anything like that.
  2. There are what... 2-3 Pesky pole shots per year? We 2-3 Yankee specials a month, if not more.
  3. The guy's story may be true, but it doesn't help his credibility when he uses a photo from another accident: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-12910273/cybertruck-accident-california-tesla-ev-toyota-demolished.html?ico=most_shared_articles_mol.web.desktop
  4. Nostalgia is doing a lot of heavy lifting on that A tier. Pretty embarrassing to have the newest stadium in MLB on the D tier.
  5. It is number one with a huge lead. From the 2016 season through May of 2024 when this article was written, Yankee Stadium had 143 "stadium specials" - HRs that are only HRs in 1 of 30 ballparks. Wrigley was second with 98, and Daikin is third with 75. Around 28% of stadium specials in all of MLB since 2016 have been hit to right field in Yankee Stadium. Own it, @Helobious
  6. What Derka said. It's not that the entire park is a bandbox. The issue is the moronic RF construction. 314 down the line and just an 8 ft high wall. Crawford boxes (which many complain about) are 315 and 19ft, respectively. Crawford boxes are CF at the Polo Grounds compared to Yankee Stadium RF.
  7. The driver monitoring detection primarily uses the interior camera to monitor the driver's eyes. If the driver's eyes are visible to the camera and forward, you will see the "Hands-on not required" state. If the driver's eyes are obscured by a cap or if the interior camera is covered, then the system uses the torque detection on the steering wheel to determine if the driver's hands are on the wheel. That's why this incident shows "Detected." For some reason in this case, the camera monitoring of driver's eyes was not available, therefore the driver needed to keep their hands on the wheel. The data shows that the driver's hands (or a "defeat device") were on the wheel. re: A defeat device... Tesla has updated their driver detection algorithm multiple times to detect "defeat devices." If a device places continuous, steady torque on the steering wheel, the software will detect that it is not a human hand and will disable autopilot/FSD. That said, people are still jury-rigging ways to avoid keeping their hands on the wheel like the moron below, which could absolutely contribute to an accident. Yes, it will slow down using re-gen braking. In the data for this incident, you do see a slight deceleration begin once FSD is disabled, but it is very gradual. Tesla states that the driver must immediately take over once FSD is disengaged, but based on my experience, re-gen deceleration is not as "immediate" after FSD disengagement. I think there is a more gradual application of re-gen after FSD disengagement to avoid abrupt deceleration in the event of an inadvertent disengagement, but that is my theory based on experience.
  8. I love that this episode saved a dude from a false murder rap: https://www.netflix.com/title/80182115.
  9. You either didn't watch the video or didn't understand the data presented. There is left torque applied to the wheel prior to the accident. The same torque that was applied to the steering wheel that caused FSD to disengage likely caused the swerve to the left. Go rewatch 5:05-6:10 of that video. The Electrek article talked to the driver. It did not review the data. The data and the driver's story don't match. The data point to user error with the driver somehow applying left torque to the steering wheel which disengages FSD and steers the car off the road.
  10. The system absolutely provides an alert when FSD or autopilot disengages. There is an audible alarm and a screen notification. Whether or not a driver notices the alert is another question entirely.
  11. I thought DT was for sharing news and information about news stories. I'll stay right here, thanks.
  12. A very measured response to the breathless reactions to one redditor's viral FSD anecdote. (Spoiler alert... the actual vehicle data do not support the redditor's version of events.) p.s. Hi @Felix!
  13. Let’s go even the season series with UTSA!
  14. How else do you set up the triple play to end it?
  15. He’s been enjoying air conditioning for the past 3.5 hours.
  16. Got us in a little crossfire…
  17. Down two with four innings to hit. Sack up ya pansies.
  18. Not really. Aggressive baserunning on a ball that nearly got through and recovered to get the other runners up 90 ft. Would have been same situation anyway. Nothing hurt.
  19. I thought we had a Bump Bailey situation for a minute. Glad he’s OK.
  20. We are fucked. This guy has an ERA of #VALUE!.
  21. I really enjoy the 5th inning hand-wringers coming out of the woodwork in game 1 of Regionals. Always a good time.
  22. The user experience for ESPN+ continues to improve and the amount of content available is impressive. It's probably the best streaming value out there. Quitcher bitchin and check your couch cushions for change to subscribe for a month.
  23. The final episode was terrible. Ruined what had been a decent, if not great binge watch.
  24. Need a higher res image of CJ's knees.
