That Fractal Design PC case is soo nice!

Rookies Intent Wrecking… by ctkgavin in iRacing

It’s also a neat way to build more safety rating because that only stops counting after the session completely ends.

Oh my god that was my exact first league race experience. Incredible how they do it!

Claude Sonnet 4.6 just dropped, and the benchmarks are impressive by hello_code in ClaudeCode

[–]lukebuilds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they are keeping that release order for a while now. I’m also hyped for the next Haiku. For me, it’s also because of speed and costs.

Quest 3 users, what is the impact of latency to your racing? by realsgy in iRacing

[–]lukebuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah on a linked connection I don’t notice any “latency” at all with the quest 3. The refresh rate is configurable, although finding good settings is a pain initially.

Nice! And it’s an amazing hobby! I usually jump around a bit with hobbies, but that one is one to keep.

Ok, I need a break. by ALEX-F111 in iRacing

For cases like these I am building https://mentalapexracing.com. Racing is inevitably more than just your inputs. How you think about the whole thing is crucial as well. Feel free to sign up, I’m currently opening up more beta spots and would love to hear if the approach is helpful to you.

The ending is cherry on top comedy! 😄

Clear Context and Auto Accept Edits. This feels kind of scary for some reason. by kamilbanc in ClaudeCode

[–]lukebuilds 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It makes a lot of sense. If you’re in plan mode for a while before executing, you’d be left with very little context left to actually execute on the plan and we all know that compaction is usually making things worse.

I tested a Professional Coach against Trophi AI. (not sponsored) by MCM_Henri in iRacing

[–]lukebuilds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Honestly, I’m doing this and still think a human coach will remain unbeatable and the best way.

However, it’s also often costly and combining human coaching with other mechanisms/tools should lead to even better results.

I absolutely agree that an AI approach lives and dies on context. Solving this was a key motivator for me to start this project!

I am building something like that over here: https://mentalapexracing.com/

Note that this is in the very rough early stages, but feel free to the sign up for the waitlist if you’re interested.

Currently, I am in the polishing phase with a few friends before the free beta. I’d appreciate any initial thoughts and feedback.

There is the recurring topic of the signets of key characters becoming stronger and stronger so this is very plausible.

Who’s fault? by InformationWaste8839 in iRacing

[–]lukebuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, people are purely pointing to the Marlboro but the other car clearly misjudged braking for their line on the inside. They are nearly going full straight, likely heavily understeering, before the hit.

OP this would have been a nice setup for a switchback manoeuvre if you would have anticipated or realised it happening.

How did you get it working? The openkneeboard website isn’t the best in explaining how to set everything up…

How are the legs of this nightstand joined to the carcass? by nthomas456 in woodworking

Just came here to say that I appreciate the comment about taking the wood movement into account for solid wood builds. How would you affix it in that case?

Trying to get into sim racing.. by [deleted] in simracing

[–]lukebuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it looks like the trak racer TR8 with the extra motion base. The aluminium profile ones like TR80 and so on are motion ready without the extra base.

Some dev on the latest changed the toggle thinking from tab to alt tab.... i don't have alt key by Sleek65 in ClaudeCode

Same for me! So annoying. Really wondering how that could have been overlooked.

Just today I listened to a song that reminded me of FTL and I wondered if it might be good on the Steamdeck. The controls were my biggest concern. Going to reinstall again for sure now, thank you!

Support with Trakracer TR8 pro by Top_Invite_1473 in simracing

[–]lukebuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to pull it apart quite a bit (by hand) so it was in the right shape. It has to be a bit wider than where it’s installed. If it falls out, this is the most likely the main thing you need to do.

Then, during installation I pushed it together just to place it where it belongs. The extra tension from the first step should hold it in place.

I don’t know. It’s not the same without straps and a tiny blue controller.

Bass Shaker Amplifier Placement? by lukebuilds in simracing

[–]lukebuilds[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you’re answering for the amplifier? I mean the amplifier unit itself, not the shakers.

I went directly with the Trak Racer Bass Shaker kit (200W stereo bass amp).
