If you want to see a really nice Qt cpp codebase that acts as a wrapper to a cli app, check out the gui variant Valkyrie.

I have two leading questions. 1) Why did you decide to become an engineer? Did you have some hobby or other background that you had a passion for, or was it because you thought you could do this degree and make good dollars? 2) If you becam

If you are working with state based behaviour a module is an object with a set of mutually exclusive states.

In a redundant system, MTTR rapidly starts to be the dominating factor for high availability. These guys seem to have the right approach.

Recursion can be good, predicting you will never run out of stack or not, can be hard. It's a little hard to duck out to Mars to reboot the lander after you bricked it with a recursive function that never exited.

Sometimes, eg aspects of automotive functional safety, MISRA C might be all you get. These NASA principles are more about enabling better possible static analysis of the code and ease of someone else, maybe decades later, debugging or pushi

I tried to get it to build me a slightly challenging app to break out data from a fairly obscure file format for some PLC code, after having tried with Claude. o3-mini produced volumes of code more quickly and more of it, but Claude still h

80% done, with no code. This is often how a functional safety project works - specification is everything, no point writing any code until you know exactly what you plan to build. Due to traceability requirements it becomes a very waterfall

It takes notional 3 seconds to boot and get an IP address alone. If you use ESP-NOW then you can wake up send msg and sleep again in 35ms. It's a layer 2 protocol.

This is why the "cloud" model of AI is not really where I would want to be as a business. Admittedly you are not going to get the same cutting edge performance, but I would only be basing a business on an AI I could download and r

The current Australian Labor Prime Minister is well on the way to being the worst PM Australia has ever had, and that is in his first term. The potential alternative seems unlikely to be much better. Admittedly both them have inherited seri

No source, no playable demo, just promises of. Could be total vaporware for all we know. It is an ad, a statement of achievement in case someone else states it first, or what? Seems like it would be better on Youtube, it really doesn't

I am going to take a guess at limited or no use of artificial light. It has already been shown working night shift increases chances of cancer. This guess is on no basis other than my intuition, but I am suspicious about artificial lighting

They are also the sort of person that thinks the problem can defined by thinking about and describing wanted behaviour alone.

Medical diagnosis is not a form of state based behaviour, therefore it can't be "automated" in the strict sense. Medical diagnosis is interpretation, you can't predict all possible states involved in the diagnosis and ou

Probably the real cost is in providing adequate ongoing support, and possibly insurances, and I suspect the banks know this and might baulk at too low a figure. They don't want to be left holding the bag. So I would have thought a risk

You mean someone working outside of their recognised competencies in a dangerous field. Don't do stuff you don't understand. I'm certified in Ex design and Functional Safety and see amateur hour most days.

Buy decent relays then, of which there is really only one option - Omron. Standard relay is good for 50 million OPs, if you use them within manufacturers ratings. Just one example, did you know that most relays have a minimum switching curr

In terms of the skill level required for extremely deterministic outcomes, yes. Plus PLC hardware has a level of inbuilt hardware diagnostics that would take months to code and prove from scratch.
