it's kind of surprising that doesn't happen more often in real baseball
you'd think so, but pitchers know that one to the dome can end your career so they're paying real close attention
batters are also generally trying to hit the ball at a much higher angle than that, and not directly at a player
yeah but the reaction time needed to react to a ball coming off a baseball bat directly at you at that distance is just barely humanly possible so I'd expect to see a few more notorious accidents
... so I did some quick internet research and actually it's much more common than I thought, found an article written in 2015 saying there'd been 7 pitchers hit in the head since 2013
I would think that knocking the other team's pitcher out of the game off-schedule would be a strategic advantage. Lumping one back into the pitcher seems like a good -- though horrific -- idea.

Pitchers are still in motion after they throw the ball and often move out of the way, or even catch a line drive if they're fast/lucky enough. It's the really unlucky ones who get hit, because the ball has to be at just the right angle and they have to be in just the right position.
7 in two years, compared to the number of pitches, is really low.

Human brain. Wired for fastest possible reactions, calculating power and survival ratio. Comes with bugs. So easy to break.

it's also just the interesting technical challenge of creating an algorithm that can do it that well, even if it turns out not to be a very practically useful technique, it's still damned impressive.

that is content aware scaling working perfectly as intended! which is to say I've never seen content aware scaling used for anything but those videos and have no idea what it was ever intended to be used for, if there even was ever an intended use for it.

It was intended for single still image manipulation, so you could scale the picture without warping it as much as regular scaling.

Oh good, the Baseball/Bloodbowl mashup game seems to be coming along well.

That's the front driver's side wheel locking up under brakes and then the remaining three wheels also all locking up.

I need to make some formula 1 gifs especially of the start of the China GP because like it looks cool as heck
also not much better gif of a lockup maybe you might see more due to open wheels

Yeah, the point isn't "Computer! Finish this project for me!", it's "Computer! Do the remaining 20 frames each second for me, and I'll clean it up".
get one little mistake in the algorithm and you get shit like this
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Could we not, instead of doing that?
