  1. were not going to agree here, and that's ok. SOME QBs make it. if you look at QBs taken in the first round from 2009-2018 the hit rate was 38% (11/29 hit a second contract) QBs, of everyone, should rush to the second contract because that makes them more likely to hit a third.
  2. had no clue on that. what a wild left turn his career took from baseball to football - if i am counting correctly basically went from MILB to football
  3. yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup the camera only decision was one that set them on an alternative track that is absolutely not going to be successful without tremendous changes and laser focus on solving the existing issues it has. instead of doing that, over the last 2 years Elon has become Chief Twit and spent a fortune on Twitter. i've talked about it a bunch here w/r/t Twitter and the impact his money could have had on his other businesses i think he had bank money for about 1/3d of the $44B and the other 2/3rds was from his end? \ so specifically imagine what an extra ~ $30B into Starlink would have made a huge impact - but imagine what an extra ~ $30B would have done for something like FSD. hell, imagine what an extra $1B would have done. for a guy who says he cares about the environment, safety and becoming a multi planetary species he sure spends his money on things that do nothing towards any of that. --- the whole "in talks with a company about licensing FSD" is a joke. this should have been the goal from day 1, but they FA and now are FO here's the top selling brands in the US (2023): idk how many of those companies would be willing to touch FSD with a 10' pole today. especially with the fact Waymo is already out there with robotaxis in some markets and have a pretty nifty lead in the market. we know Ford and GM are working on their own versions of the concept. there is 0 chance Toyota touches it, plus they have their own thing in the works. can't imagine Honda does either, and are working on their own Level 3 stuff. Stellantis/Chrysler has a deal with Waymo for commercial self driving so that takes out Jeep, Ram, Dodge, etc. Volvo has Polestar. don't imagine the German companies want to touch it Tesla. BMW and MB are working on their own Level 3 stuff. Hyundai/Kia maybe? quick look says they delayed their plans for level 3 Subaru has their own stuff they are working on, but it's more of a lane assist thing vs self driving. Mazda maybe? they have something they are doing but i think it's more lane assist why "settle" for TSLA and their all in move on vision if your goal is to limit downside (GO WITH EVERY SENSOR YOU CAN) and pick something stable which won't also torpedo your brand (which is not Tesla.) going all camera was a monumental mistake that screams it was made at the top and not made by the people who actually work with this technology. wonder how many high level staff they lost due to that decision.
  4. if Elon even kind of believed any of this he would be pouring every cent he owns into SpaceX to ensure we become that multi planet species he talked about a long time ago...but instead he's out here shitposting on Twitter
  5. not to be this guy but there are a LOT of people in the industry who say FSD will never get SAE Level 4 Certification, much less Level 5 with their current technological setup on the car. these are not folks with axes to grind, they are tech folks.
  6. Tesla should be better at naming things, marketing those things and explaining why they have value so people buy those things. instead, they just fired their entire US-based advertising team.
  7. "we don't know shit but we think that a player may portal out because a player may also portal in. it could have happened yesterday. it could happen today. it could happen tomorrow. it could happen next week. watch this space for us to edit in text below backing up what we think may happen and if it doesn't happen it's because Texas talked the player into staying (we won't report on his name for privacy reasons, but also because we don't know his name)"
  8. i thought it was even more funny that he touched the field once in 2 years, and got no stats and then never touched it again before retiring than if he never touched it at all, but whatever
  9. funny enough IIHS gave both the FSD and Autopilot a P (Poor) rating on safety, which is the same as the Volvo Pilot Assist https://www.iihs.org/ratings/partial-automation-safeguards to be fair, all but 3 tested systems got poor ratings. the Lexus version got an A (Acceptable), the GM and Nissan version version got an M (Marginal)
  10. i've heard a guy i know/see around town here make that same kind of comment it's such a fucking dumb thing to bring up considering they went 1-9, were lucky nobody died, had their quarterback break 4 bones in his back (he did not go to the hospital), lost to everyone they could even consider a rival and had the only losing season Bear Bryant ever had. but hey, the 6-0 win vs Georgia gave us this hilarious headline: https://www.newspapers.com/article/chattanooga-daily-times-texas-aggies-bea/132997713/
  11. somehow the truth on this scenario is even funnier than if he never played. he touched the field vs New Mexico last year and had no stats, nor touched the field any other time. fuck that guy.
  12. ...of course adaptive cruise control alerts you less than FSD. it exists for a very specific use case, has a much smaller scope and typically you don't have it on all the time. ...so of course it is going to drop in significantly fewer notifications than FSD Beta. or it certainly should. here's what Volvo's website says about their Adaptive Cruise Control: ACC is absolutely not a 1:1 comparison for FSD - and again, you know that. come on, dude.
  13. what's a good go-to ready to eat salsa these days. i liked the mark's jarred stuff historically, but they have changed the one i like. don't love the heb-branded stuff near the guac, but someone told me it changed recently. picked up the taco deli stuff and did not enjoy it (had an off note in it, maybe it was just that container?)
  14. that's totally fair. dude fucked around and found out.
  15. surely no one is going to act like that wouldn't be incredible. dude starts for 1 year, wins a national championship, is in a bunch of national commercials, then goes top 5 in the draft? that's the dream
  16. got to get to that second contract as early as possible.
  17. i think with the existing 9.95er landscape, there is 100% a place for that limited to no off topic data, super accessible "insiders", focus on sports not drama and bring a tremendous value for what you pay. you guys are set up to be in a great spot the closer we get to the fall - seriously. i would think there is a place for this concept at some of the other larger schools where folks ("insiders" and posters both) are fed up with the bullshit. give them a piece of the pie, let them do their job pretty straighforward and rock and roll. i know you are busy but when OTF shows it's level of success, and no clue what the end game is, you guys should absolutely reach out to some other people in the industry and spin this concept off for them using the lessons learned from starting up OTF
  18. he's still around, posted 8 hours ago https://twitter.com/Longhornfrenzy1
  19. ...this is why he fired the ad team? "too generic" look at this funny lady who liked it, then said it lacked the wow factor --- also, Musk in the last 30 days has 2000+ tweets! which are numbers only exceeded by these people for comparison here are how many tweets the other accounts in the top 10 most followed (per social blade) have sent in the last 30 days Obama: 23 CR7: 20 Bieber: 0 (actually he deleted 4 in the last 30 days so he has -4) Rihanna: 11 Katy Perry: 29 Nardendra Modi (indian PM): 589 Taylor Swift: 14 Trump: 0 Ariana Grande: 113 looking at the rest of the top 25 with a notable # of tweets NASA: 164 youtube: 390 Kim Kardashian: 39 X: 51 CNN: 192 CNN Breaking News: 160 NYT: 1813 NYT is #25 in followers. so just to be clear, he has more tweets in the last 30 days than the #2-24 most followed accounts on his website...combined all while, on paper, being the CEO of SpaceX, the CEO of Tesla and the CEO of Twitter. i kind of love how this guy has gone from a misunderstood genius to someone who is going to be a case study for how not to run a business, any business. terrible rebrands, terrible business decisions DAILY, fumbling a years long lead on EVs, waiving due diligence, firing off dumb lawsuits, major course changes within days/weeks/months of making the decision, horrible executive hiring practices, etc what a fucking moron.
  20. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/23/24138062/elon-musk-fighting-australia-stabbing-video-x-twitter-censorship snippets - do these people think stabbing videos are good for the platform, advertisers, normal users, etc?
  21. Bryce Foster going to A&M to do football and T&F, only to quit football and only do T&F there instead of going to one of the significantly better throwing programs in the country is a very sad story. Had a promising throwing future, and went to a program that didn't maximize his skills.
  22. saw horn247 posted he was leaving then nuked it like 1 min later https://twitter.com/Horns247/status/1782504595492671809
  23. another day, another major design issue with the Cybertruck https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-breaks-in-new-innovative-way-1851426532 Jalopnik also gave the CT a new nickname i haven't seen before
