alt Hacker NewsI'd like to understand why the auto location mode did not work well leading to the need to introduce "rough mode".
Maybe the directionality of typical speaker and mic spoils an attempt to apply a 1/r^2 fit?

The problem was actually described in the agent output that I hadn't read when requested that additional feature:
> Distances only fix the layout up to translation, rotation and mirror image. That doesn't matter for the maths, but the map I'm shown has to match the real room, so the UI needs "rotate" and "flip" controls, or a way to say "Blue is next to the door".
