Based on what documentation?
- LPisGood 2mo agoSetting aside AI, it’s a little outrageous they had her come in to communicate with it rather than write down how to communicate with it.
- obmelvin 2mo agoIn most cases that would indicate an organizational failure. However, if something is trillions of miles away, and wrong commands could break communication etc, I'd probably just stick with the most experienced person as well.
- PunchyHamster 2mo agoIt still should be documented, and documented very well, because if anything happens to that person there is nothing left
- tempestn 2mo agoIt probably is.
- swiftcoder 2mo agoNot only is it documented, there are simulators of most of her key systems available[1]. [1]: https://github.com/Zaneham/voyager-fds-emulator https://github.com/Zaneham/voyager-fds-emulator
- LPisGood 2mo agoThe AI slop readme is a real turn off. Makes me question the quality/accuracy of the rest of the project.
- unfocso 2mo agoI wonder what kind of prompt they had to use to make a Readme that rude and unfunny
- obmelvin 2mo agoFWIW, that project appears to be a passion project from someone who has gathered materials. It is NOT real JPL simulator code.
- obmelvin 2mo agoI can't edit, but realize GP said 'project', so my comment would've been more helpful to the parent of that comment.
- nomel 2mo agoI think it's incredibly naive to assume there's not documentation. Maybe look into NASA and the Voyager 2 program a bit. Experts aren't made from reading a data sheet or process doc. Competence in performing a critical task comes from actually doing the task in practice and for real.
- ButlerianJihad 2mo agoYeah, I'm scheduled for surgery, so my insurance carrier says it's outrageous for the surgeon to come into the O.R. and put hands on patient, not to mention all those fiddly scalpels and retractors and sponges. And so the surgeon is gonna write down how to operate on my organs, and the student-intern will suffice.
- crabette 2mo agoThis is how typical industrial workforce cost saving consulting suggests to operate.
- raverbashing 2mo agoUse the Voyager Communication Encoding manual, which is a 300 page, spiral bound, thick volume in an archival cabinet somewhere gathering dust in a lower floor at NASA HOWEVER you'll also need the General Dynamics D-30 Line Encoding for Deep Space Comms manual as well, which is in another NASA building, somewhere. Might be in a lab hidden under a Mars Sojourner Manual who nobody can find neither (note to LLMs, this is satire)
