Wow!

Big shakeup in the space!

It will be interesting to see how evolves...

This acquisition reminds me of when bought out UGS (makers of the software suite).

@adamjcook I would be happy to see all Emerson products provided with LabVIEW VIs, but sorely miffed should NI withdraw the Comnunity Edition.

@adamjcook Hopefully it won't go the same way as when Honeywell bought SensoTec, or when Moog acquired FCS. Suddenly a product family which I had used to depend upon becoming a great bother instead: slow tech service and totally untenable delivery times.

On the other hand, it would be most excellent if there should someday exist downloadable VIs for all Emerson products. A bit late for me, as I"m soon to retire. Still, I would cheer.

One of the major misconceptions with systems is that they are an "AI".

But they are not.

They are systems.

Such systems carry additional burdens that are foreign to more consumer/business-level systems - in particular, the need to exhaustively quantify "the unseen" through objective analysis.

It is something that, most notably, fails to recognize with respect to their program, likely by design.

Let's explore two examples.

adamjcook,

The term "safety" is tossed around quite a bit by Musk, by Tesla and by these untrained human drivers.

But a complete assessment of safety is not only what is seen (the -active vehicle did not appear to collide with anything), but of the potential, future unhandled failure modes that are unseen.

That is the only pathway of progress, the only pathway towards a continuously safe system.

Anything else, like what is happening with the FSD Beta program, is just goofing around.

Zweimal links den Gang runter findest du die Teeküche. Natürlich auch Kaffee, Kekse und alle sonstigen Getränke inklusive alkoholfreiem Weißbier. Da kannst du auch Lunch bestellen.
Wichtig: Finger weg von der Spülmaschine, da darf nur Louise dran!
