🏎 Speed vs Velocity
Unlike speed, which only describes the magnitude of an object's movement, velocity is a function of speed and direction. It describes both the magnitude and the direction of an object's movement.
🔁 OODA Loop
The OODA loop is the Observe–Orient–Decide–Act process for making fast decisions in high-stakes situations. It involves information gathering, data analysis, decision-making, and action before repeating the process with new data.
