it's also so so easy to credit people correctly. even if you don't have the presence of mind (you should) to keep a list during the project, it's never hard to get a list of everyone who contributed. neverrrr. if someone fucks you on this they fuck you on purpose. or they fix it immediately

oh, definitely. the carceral justice system is incredibly fucked up; the point i wanted to make is that hotel managers (and of course, landlords) will charge people enormous sums of cash for substandard living conditions

it's genuinely better than some hotels i've seen

physical systems tend to use what's known as a PID controller! it's a similar idea, where you adjust your control values based on the error between your current measurements and your targets of those measurements, but the PID controller uses a few different variables to control the calculus

Not much to share! It's just:
Instead of applying acceleration based on delta-position, apply acceleration based on delta-velocity.
i.e. Calculate the *ideal* velocity needed to get from here to target by the correct time. Then apply an acceleration that is (ideal_velocity - current_velocity).

The naïve method is prone to arriving too early, too late, or completely missing the target, often "slingshotting" around the target.

The latter method pre-emptively applies corrective acceleration. Much like the Akira slide! 🏍️💨

yeah i like to just pick whoever my eyes land on first, sometimes give them a funny hat. i feel like picking differently each time lets me figure out new stuff about how the machines control and things
