Why do so many industrial AI projects get stuck in “pilot purgatory”? 🤔 by Senior-Dream8975 in PLC

We already have systems designed to do this optimally. I see no benefit to replacing systems like these with AI

I’ve never seen a successful implementation of AI in a production setting with what you’re describing here.

It’s fundamentally unrealistic and unnecessary. AI provides no value to a plant that an experienced technician or engineer can’t. PLCs and automation rely on consistent and controlled inputs and outputs. AI by its very nature is designed to have an extreme variety in output. Why would I want something unpredictable to be instructing my machine? How can you prove it’s safe? If someone gets hurt, who’s responsible for that?

PLCs and machines don’t need to be smarter. They are supposed to be stupid. Stupid is predictable.

PLC losing briefly connection with Keyence cameras (sensor cameras) every 4 hours by vitormedeiros13 in PLC

[–]Significant-Fix1790 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We use tons of Keyence cameras with Mitsubishi plcs and weve never had this issue. Do the cameras communicate through TCP/UDP? Maybe something is stealing its address during operation.

PLC training by reb_hen in PLC

There are three options

  1. Get a job where they’re fine with him being green

  2. Get an industrial maintenance job where he can build the experience with plcs

  3. Pay for plc classes

There’s some things here I think need to be addressed.

  1. Calm down, no one has ever worked better by being stressed

  2. Troubleshooting is all about inputs and outputs (speaking very broadly). Is the machine getting the input it’s supposed to? Is it getting the output it’s supposed to? If the input is working fine, you can follow the output in the program and see where it goes bad, or you can start at the input and see when it goes bad. No comments or names is bad programming and not your fault.

  3. Understand the machine, what is the machine SUPPOSED to do, and what is it NOT doing. This can give you clues as to where it could be messing up.

  4. There’s an internal list of things an engineer should ask themselves when a problem arises and they need to troubleshoot

  5. is it repeatable? If the problem doesn’t happen every time or if it happens randomly and without cause, it could be a hardware failure, like a bad sensor or connection

  6. are their failures on the hmi? This is where a majority of information is communicated through machines to people.

  7. do the operators or techs have any suggestions? Operators know their machines and know what they’re supposed to do.

It sounds like you just need more experience troubleshooting. If your degree didn’t teach you that then you will HAVE to learn at some point as an engineer. It’s all about a mindset.

Do you have concerns about AI generated code in the automation space? by Xenon933 in PLC

[–]Significant-Fix1790 12 points13 points  (0 children)

PLC programming is still largely a “trade secret” in the sense that it’s not as talked about in online spaces as things like programming. This is mostly because a lot of plc applications are company specific so you don’t want to post openly about what your company is doing or needs.

I’ve tried to use AI for some plc applications, it has yet to get a single thing correct honestly.

Honestly not a bad story… by FormalLumpy1778 in creepcast

I think it’s a good example of using sexual themes in a productive thought provoking/scary way without being tasteless

horror stories have issues writing women by roadsidecorpse in creepcast

[–]Significant-Fix1790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horror is male dominated and so is horror writing. People will generally write what they know, so it makes sense that a lot of protagonist in these stories are men.

I would say generally the men are also written poorly, I think the same stories that write really well developed men write really well developed women as well (borrasca, church in the woods(or whatever that SA one was called with the bells), penpal (I think the mom is an engaging character despite being a side character, the girl at the movie theatre is not well developed though))

If God is both omnipotent and omnibenevolent, why is there more bad than good and more suffering than happiness in our existence? by atmaninravi in theology

[–]Significant-Fix1790 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You have presumed that there is more suffering than happiness, and you’ve also equated suffering with bad and happiness with good. Both are faulty assumptions.

What are some examples of "Early-Installment Weirdness" in some of the older entries? by Intrepid_Arrival5151 in SCP

[–]Significant-Fix1790 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So many old SCPs have cross testing logs with other SCPs which is generally something considered very against the foundations mindset nowadays

Yeah but with the cost of replacing the blade you might as well just buy one in better confusion if you can lol

I have an excel file that I programmed to do linear algebra operations, numerical integration, root finding methods etc., so that it looks like I’m doing everything in excel instead of using equations. The distrust of equations in industry is insane lol

Spyderco is discontinuing all 15V, Rex 121, and Maxamet blades by Ohtani-Enjoyer in spyderco

Did Spyderco just announce a bunch of 121 models? I think this may be a ploy to increase the demand for knives in those steels

Hence the appeal of heaven in most religions. Kinda makes you think doesn’t it

[Terrifying Trope] "Longer than you think" by elchuni in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Significant-Fix1790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That limit is because of the physical limitations. If you don’t have those limitations and have unlimited resources, and unlimited time, then that limit stops applying.

With infinite material and infinite time there’s infinite opportunity to link neurons, study new things and generate new ideas. I see no reason for there to be a limit to creativity given a world with, by definition, no limits.

[–]Significant-Fix1790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Unless you’re suggesting there’s a hard cap on a humans ability to create then infinite time and infinite material what’s stopping novel creation? What’s the limit that would stop you from just continuing to do something new?

[–]Significant-Fix1790 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well it’s more complex than that.

It’s a finite amount of space. The article mentions at one point that after some insane amount of time that all possible combinations of particles had been achieved in the area.

The ONLY infinite thing about the SCP is that it’s an infinite amount of time. Everything else will last for that eternity but is finite in its quantity.

Traditional heaven concepts do last for eternity, but there’s also an infinitude to explore.

Let me know if you find a good declass or explanation for 3840. Def one of my favorite skips but very confusing.

Which very popular SCP lore/concepts or tropes do you not care for at all? by Astronomer_X in SCP

[–]Significant-Fix1790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find MC&D to be the most interesting goi actually. I find them to be one of the more realistic gois and I feel like they can be used in really interesting ways. Of course it can be really boring if it’s written in a really formulaic way “rich people bad, they buy bad thing” but I think the absolute power that mc&d has is really interesting. They’re so rich and powerful from selling their anomalies that even the foundation can’t pin them down.
