I'm curious how the space software industry (NASA, ESA, commercial companies, etc.) actually treats AI coding assistants (Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) in practice. Specifically:

• Is there a formal or informal ban on using LLM-generated code in flight/mission-critical software?
• If AI tools are allowed, where exactly are they used — requirements analysis, test generation, boilerplate code, documentation — versus where they're strictly forbidden (flight control logic, safety-critical modules)?
• The main issue I keep hearing about is explainability: AI output can't be traced back to a clear rationale the way a human engineer's design decisions can, which seems fundamentally at odds with standards like DO-178C that require full traceability from requirement to code to test. Is this the actual blocker in practice, or are there ways around it (e.g. formal verification on top of AI-generated code)?

Would love to hear from anyone with direct experience in flight software, avionics, or satellite software development.

Hi everyone!

I've been replaying The Witcher 2 recently, and I started wondering: what games do you think it might have been inspired by?

While playing, I noticed some similarities to Demon's souls —not necessarily in terms of difficulty, but more in the atmosphere, level design, combat pacing, and the overall feeling of exploring dangerous areas.

Do you think that's just a coincidence, or have the developers ever mentioned any specific influences? And are there any other games that The Witcher 2 reminds you of?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Hello everyone !

I'm looking for an open-world Action RPG with a pirate setting. I really enjoy exploration, quests, character progression, and a world that feels alive, similar to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

I've heard about Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, but from what I understand it's more of an action-adventure game with some RPG elements. Are there any other games that fit what I'm looking for?
