It’s not stateless end-to-end, it just means the client needs to keep track and pass the state rather than drivers or hardware

I’m not 100% on the motivation but from an architectural standpoint it does make sense - your software can now do many new and weird things without a hardware change

One example I saw was allowing an arbitrary number of streams to be processed simultaneously, just passing the different context state for each stream

You know what I mean! Never seen that exact kind of plant but yeah, automated heavy industry gets intense real fast

For me it’s the acceleration and speed they don’t comprehend.even “safe” collaborative robots can accelerate to huge speeds in the blink of an eye, and being electric they’ll do it at maximum force

I’ve driven one into my head before and its remarkable how soft it was thanks to the tech involved but movies miss the fact that if it wanted, even a small arm could have gone through me

If you ever work on a modern industrial system then you’ll see all kinds of rules, safety measures and more fun

It often makes small jobs extremely tedious, but I always remind myself it’s because the robot arm I’m looking at is strong enough to throw me across the room or crush my bones.
