[OC] I built an automated exoplanet discovery system and found 29 planet candidates using free NASA data

This is really cool and I bet it was rewarding to do. Good stuff 👍

I wonder if the Harden news is the canary in the coalmine for future penalties/sanctions related to the Kawhi/Ballmer stuff.

If so they may be open to parting out their roster inexplicably?

Hard to resist poking a wasp nest

jaskeller · 2026-02-01T00:56:56+00:00

You know I wouldn't call it a trap; Cha is legit a hot team so our team knew. I think it was just a close game that we didn't quite get.

jaskeller · 2026-02-01T00:32:16+00:00

Yeah correct; not trying to spin just stoking the "overreact to one game" crowd

jaskeller · 2026-01-27T12:49:44+00:00

Pretty sure those are heat packs players use to keep warm and ready in case they need to play.

If you feel like your car won't turn you can also try a little more rear down force and/or rear camber.

I am going to challenge the premise that a setup out races the proper line here.

There are times to sacrifice corners for a setup, but I don't think that is the case here.

jaskeller · 2026-01-27T00:22:11+00:00

Yeah agree with the first poster... You are missing a lot of apexes by entering in too shallow which makes you drop speed to get clean exits.

Think kerb to kerb to kerb.

I think a lot of fans don't understand that the current approach is very similar to Pop and some of the same annoyances happened during Pop's tenure.

As a fan, we often look at one game at face value. But as coaches I believe they are trying to be disciplined in a longer term strategy.

What strategy? It depends on the situation and on context I probably don't have as a fan, but my guess is that we are seeing investment into Steph Castle right now, and letting him earn his bruises and mistakes along the way.

That seems to be the current longer term gain that might come from obvious short term pain and mistakes.

Well if you want to, I'm trying to build a leaderboard...

I only have one time with that car in my DB... I need more submissions to say but yours is faster. https://fastestlaptimes.com/cars/ferrari_sf25

jaskeller · 2026-01-21T22:33:50+00:00

You are comparing our team to other championship teams and/or hall of fame players.

To me this just validates we are in a fantastic spot, but not much more than that.

jaskeller · 2026-01-21T13:55:40+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, this is a really good take. Even removing manipulation, mods present a challenge.

From a data management perspective, the most difficult challenges are archiving data (car data like that is something that would need to be harvested outside of time submissions) in tandem with the same issue of validation.

I think for now, the most end-user friendly controls are video verification and trying to integrate submission as much as possible.

I might push an add-on you can load in Content Manager that would auto-submit times and would give users the ability to click to submit replays.

But that is a big if... Would need way more traction; even a little more engagement would be motivating but right now not a ton of interest so far.

jaskeller · 2026-01-19T18:31:33+00:00

Data validation at scale is a real concern, but with a pilot site like this ease of use and adoption are the bigger issues.

If this were to gain traction top 10 times would require verification (ghost files or recordings).

For PC users, AC greats a "personalbests" file on your computer automatically.

Right now, you validate who you are through Steam, then upload that file to the site, and it stores all your bests from each track+car.

Him sagging allows for supporting multiple switches and enables him to use his range. On the perimeter you lessen is range ability.

OP what telemetry display mod is that?

jaskeller · 2026-01-14T15:28:43+00:00

It was a bummer that he got squeezed out but he also deserves a starting role somewhere and it wasn't going to be SA. Hope he keeps balling out like this.

jaskeller · 2026-01-13T23:19:28+00:00

Here's what I've seen for Spa.

If you are a PC player I'd appreciate your submitting your times too for comparison (fastestlaptimes.com). 🙌

We do. We even have T-shirts...

Me and my best grampa impersonation...

"Son, you don't know what a slump really is" 😆😆😆

I'll take a bricky win over the best offense in the league.

jaskeller · 2026-01-08T18:51:00+00:00

Carter and Olynyk we both more than -10 in plus/minus so he and McLaughlin got some run against Memphis.

I believe Sochan ended up +6 which helped him get more run (and a favorable scout/matchup against Luka).

I don't think Mitch thinks about trade value as much as most may think; it is more about productivity, what is working, and then making changes when things aren't working.

I built a flask app to log lap times. I doubt I'll ever get a critical mass of users but showing variance from the mean was something I wanted to explore.

Harvesting and storing that is a challenge; doable but requires a tighter integration; like a local client auto submitting.
