The trucking industry in the United States plays a critical role in the nation's economy, serving as the backbone of transportation and supply chain operations. From delivering essential goods to supporting industries across the country, the trucking industry is a vital force that keeps America moving. In this blog post, we will explore the key aspects of the trucking industry in the US, its significance, challenges, and the factors driving its growth.

Size and Scope:
The trucking industry in the US is massive in scale, comprising millions of trucks and drivers. It accounts for the transportation of over 70% of total freight tonnage across the nation, contributing to the smooth functioning of various sectors, including manufacturing, retail, and agriculture.

Economic Impact:
The trucking industry is a major contributor to the US economy, generating billions of dollars in revenue each year. It provides employment opportunities to millions of individuals, including truck drivers, mechanics, dispatchers, and logistics professionals. Furthermore, the industry stimulates economic growth by facilitating trade, connecting businesses, and supporting job creation in related industries.

Supply Chain Efficiency:
Trucking plays a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency of supply chains. With its widespread network and flexibility, trucking enables the timely delivery of goods to both urban centers and remote areas. It provides just-in-time inventory management, ensuring that businesses can meet consumer demands efficiently.
Many products have been successful not because they bring new features to the market but because they make existing features trivial to use. UX is everything.

The fundamental problem is that structural incentives often look exactly like a master plan (which is why we sometimes call incentives an "invisible hand")
What are you referring to?

I'm not sure if it's this: Leaders have been advocating it for generations, on all sides of the aisle. Washington, Lincoln, Churchill, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, ... Reagan, Clinton, even Bush Jr. Every American leader extolled it, maybe all presidents. Until Trump, the GOP, and the global fascist movement, which have been the exception, and mostly only since 2016.
Sure, but if it's arbitrarily throwing things into the ESP and having them be run on boot, they presumably could do the same thing with Linux. Maybe secure boot would stop it, otherwise I don't see why it couldn't add another initrd to your boot config.
It isn't that hard at all. I'm calling BS, because it seems like you're exaggerating to make a point that would be big, if true. Except it isn't true.

First, I've owned several wireless connected bathroom scales from high-end to low-end brands. All of them work out of the box without needing or demanding you connect it to Wi-Fi and download an app. Put in batteries, step on scale, and weight is displayed. If you want to use an app, that feature is available, but definitely not mandatory, and I've never seen the device prompt to install an app. One had a removable sticker that advertised the app with a QR download code.

Second, it took me less than 5 seconds to find a non-connected bathroom scale, if you care about that. Maybe I'll assume good faith here, you may be shopping at a super high-end retail shop, or an electronics store that also sells appliances, or an online megaretailer that knows you're into tech and is recommending you smart devices? But when I search for "bathroom scale" on amazon, target, walmart, or home depot, the first result is a basic digital scale that has no connected features.

Same when I look at what is in stock in stores where I live in San Francisco. If there is a place where retailers would think they only need to stock connected bathroom scales, that would be the place. Nope, plenty of non-connected scales that only need a single button CR battery.

As a software engineer with an eating disorder who believes in the right to organized labor; this is awful. The software engineers that built the chatbot should have had QA testing specifically around eating disorder sentiments. The chatbot should never be treated as a replacement for humans with empathy but is a valuable tool for folks who might not be ready to engage with someone. As someone who has been helped by some resources NEDA shared, I really hope they commit to doing better and just frickin pay their hotline workers.

Sure, but it's worth noting that the Cortex X3 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is _almost_ at the level of the A14 in single core performance, just not quite there. Even if the performance bump is less than promised, they will still equal it.
KickAssTorrents made millions of dollars a year in advertising revenue. I doubt their decision to start Rarbg was charitable or even ideologically driven. They probably just want out now. Lower margins may have been a part of that.

Great question.

Yes it does benefit OpenAI because Sam is pushing for and betting on regulatory capture. Meaning AI models that are compliant with AI safety principles would be allowed and considered safe by law should regulations be put in place.

Current open source models wouldn't be compliant and would require work to make them compliant, thus creating a moat for OpenAI in the self hosted space.

Because there is nothing better than a free model that you can self host that OpenAI has made that is also regulated.

Enterprises would love this, since OpenAI has the mindshare already, they can self host a licensed model in their orgs or air gapped environment that they know is regulated.

OpenAI may release different model sizes of this GPT-X variant like they did quietly for Whisper, Bigger sizes may require an enterprise license.
What a great plot that would be for a movie.

Big court case where it's pretty clear the plucky good guys aren't going to win it. So they hire hackers to break into westlaw and give the opposition fake cases, then bait them into presenting those cases - and call them out in it.
I don't mind putting in a lot of lazy effort to avoid strenuous intellectual work, that shit is very hard.
Temporal has an event queue under the covers, so you don't have to implement (and debug) that yourself.
Re: "Science does not get worse when there are more bad papers"...

I don't think that this is true at all. Weeding through bad papers is, at a minimum, an opportunity cost, as is a good paper built on top of a bad one.

Also, there is a societal cost in that bad research can get picked up and believed by people, like the anti-vax crowd. Or, bad research can be used to push an agenda, like anti-climate change.

If this was the case it is provable by submitting queries to `gpt-4-0314` and comparing them to `gpt-4`.
What if you could train an AI with a desired outcome to their answers?

I suspect it's the same people complaining how Google's gotten worse.

One time, I went to the hotel restaurant. I ordered something; it was amazing. Figured I'd do it again a few days later. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good. There wasn't any specific difference I could put my finger on other than that the novelty wore off.
Ah, more non-deterministic computing, just what the doctor ordered!
It feels like AI is exposing Kessler Syndrome for other areas - that is, some small scale amount of junk isn’t a problem necessarily, but if you scale up that problem, it fundamentally changes the thing for everyone permanently. I guess the jury is still out whether it’s net good or bad, but it feels like it’s going to force us to confront some fundamental issues we have in society, which have perhaps always been there, but are now unavoidable, and will demand quick societal change. That almost never goes over well.
Any sufficiently advanced malice is indistinguishable from incompetence.
Because I was sub'ed to openAI until yesterday. And my experiments with it were pretty promising.

I took the whole corpus of Magic the Gathering rules ( https://magic.wizards.com/en/rules ) as a textfile, and fed it into 4.0 . parsed it in a few seconds. I was then able to send it cards from Gatherer (MtG card database), and then ask it pointed questions about multiple card interactions.

I also compared it to what DCI judges have made ruling on as well, and matched 100%. It quite impressed me.

I was thinking next is to give it the rules text, and a JSON of every card. And then ask for all combos. But I'd run out of response before it could.
This seems like an extension of the replication crisis. In many fields, most published research is already bogus. The idea that peer review is enough to ensure that research is valid is perhaps not scaling well.

It would be great to have things like open data sharing. At least in astronomy, which I'm somewhat familiar with, it doesn't seem like we're that close. Most scientists cannot even reproduce their own results. It's common to use things like manual Jupyter notebooks, unlabeled CSVs, and a bunch of disorganized data files, in a one-off process that a scientist manually summarizes to produce a paper.

To me, in an ideal world each paper would sit in a GitHub repository, with an integration test that verifies the code actually produces the results used in the paper. That isn't really what academics prioritize, but perhaps things will move in this direction as more people realize that we have a replication crisis, and also as scientists tend to have more software engineering skills over time.

Throwing away and rewriting tests is work (== negative value).

Testing implementation details is always contra productive. Have you watched the video? (I'm not recommending videos often, as I think writings have more value per time-unit, but this talk is a kind of classic on that topic.)

Why would such a classification step remove any information about typical "benign" queries?

It's a lot more likely they just nerfed the model because it's expensive to run.
How to Integrate OpenShift with Keycloak
The problem with the LibDems is the gap between what they say and what they do. The reason they are in such dire straits is that when they got a sniff of power and joined a coalition with the Tories, they abandoned a number of key election promises and royally pissed off their core vote.

(And when they were punished in the polls for this, their leader quit and got a job as Facebook's amoral bullshitter in chief.)

Plus, the LibDems support all the amoral creepy shit, anyway. Unfortunately, it's got cross-party support, as has the Online Safety Bill.
Cute and fun idea, but it'd be nice if it could take better indoor photos.

Jokes aside, I think this demonstrates that AI generation isn't too great if you have something very specific in mind, at least it looks like the generated picture deviates from the real one, though it's impressive that it's still so extremely similar.

No, GPT4 was originally a very kurtz asshole. It was hilarious and I shared it with everyone. Now it’s incredibly polite and explains things thoroughly. But it’s a little dumber.
This isn't just my perspective from media, but from living in a city with a very conservative base (Colorado Springs). I've seen very little political action from conservatives that wasn't reactionary and to the tone of "actually, we don't want anything to change, anywhere at all, unless it means legally enforcing my religious ideals".

When it comes to major issues like "how do we handle this virus?" I haven't seen any answers at all from the right other than "we don't want anything the other side of the fence wants".

How does the right plan to handle many of the largest problems? Food monoculture? Environmental problems? Wealth inequality? Racial inequality?

I live in a pool of conservatism, and the answer is always "what's the problem? My life is good."

How would you pull that off without keeping out a large number of small, legitimate sellers?

I think the point is that shallow references and use of Nazi images in ad hominem attacks does does not contribute meaningfully to any discussion.

If you want to use the Holocaust to draw a comparison, it should have substance. Without substance, anyone can make shallow comparisons.
There is no AI, there are LLM models, that people hardly understand. Modern solutions are to AI what Alchemy was to Chemistry. Sometimes they get some results but nobody really sure why. The little that OpenAI mentioned about how they achieved GPT-4 performance, says it was by trying a bunch of things and dismissing others. They probably also themselves not sure how they managed to pull it of, meaning that, if for example an increase in parameter size or other settings, kick in negative effects that actually reduce the model performance, they will also be at a loss where to go next.

One of the common threads among companies I've worked at which I would consider "successful" is that they don't really classify developers based on what languages they've used before. If you're a good programmer you can become a net positive in almost any language in a few weeks to a few months, and productive within the first year. Some of the worst companies I've worked for were the type who would toss a resume in the trash because they had 1 year of experience in $LANG from a few years ago and not the "have used it for 3 of the last 3 years" they wanted.
> arrggh why??

Because you are vastly overestimating how much most people actually notice or care about this.
It's not even that. Plenty of everyday people "swanned around having a lovely time" too; or at least, didn't think the restrictions should apply to them. Sure, in some of the cases he cites there's rank hypocrisy involved that should be called out, and the burden of the restrictions impacted the poor and underpivilged relatively more harshly and some leeway can be given there. But to imply it was just the former is bollocks.
I once used a crowdsourcing system called CrowdFlower for a pretty basic task, the results were pretty bad.

Seems like with minimal oversight the human workers like to just say they did the requested task and make up an answer rather than actually do it (The task involved entering an address in Google maps, looking at the street view and confirming insofar as possible if a given business actually resided at the address in question, nothing complicated)

Edit: woops, mixed in the query with another reply that mentioned the human element XD
Idea: AI police sketch artist.

3D printed case. Resting on a table. Witness describes the suspect. 10 seconds later it prints out an AI generated ink sketch.

I mean why not? Sell it through to every police station in your state. You can even put a cute little police badge emblem on the case.
I'm not sure what's rude about stating that the statement you made is factually wrong. Furthermore, the west doesn't really have good data on the volume of sales Russia is doing because these transactions are happening outside of SWIFT.
Yes, but also, come on now.

That is such a strange thing to read. I'm not contradicting that it's true in this case, but Basically every artist complains about how much of a clusterfuck the UI/UX is while being entirely happy that the UI is horrible enough that intimate knowledge of it keeps them with a job
> The holocaust was very much a political event, and to treat it otherwise is to excuse the broad public support that political movement had, and the widespread public participation involved.

Was it a political event tho? It wasn't something the Nazis were openly announcing they were doing. Sending them to camps was one thing, pretty much every country ended up creating camps to keep people during that time. If they were humanly treated in the camps there wouldn't be so much of an issue. It's that they went to extents that the German masses weren't aware of is what makes the holocaust a wtf. Lots of people use it for political purposes, but was it actually a political event when it was happening or did we just politicise it?

The holocaust to me was something they did in secret to their own population. Otherwise we need to group in all interment camps at the time.
I often pick the 0 seeders results if there is even a slight chance of better quality, and quite often there is.

0 seeders now doesn't mean forever. Some seeders only hook to the network once in a while, long enough for a few leechers to fetch it all. If the content is in demand enough then a few seeders may be left and suddenly a 0 seeder search result becomes an attractive one. Even curating is complicated for the human eye, so good luck automating that.
OP, is your only experience working with technology companies and trendy startups trying to hit some mega-million valuation?

The real world is a lot more messy than the best practices that tech companies come up with. Go work for some local warehouse or AC repair company's IT departments. They might have some technology for managing inventory or scheduling appointments or billing or any one of a hundred tasks that isn't done in the most modern way.

There's many industries where technology isn't valued or emphasized and that are still using code and some practices from 10-15+ years ago due to financial constraints. And that's fine, as long as it works and is secure. Many times it isn't, but it can work just fine even if it doesn't look modern.

I'd bet the vast majority of websites out there are not using containers today.

I'd bet there's some pretty big and profitable websites out there that probably deploy stuff via uploading a bunch of files via SFTP (or even FTP) and perhaps running some deployment script that's been hacked together a decade ago.

Hell, we talk a lot about the market being consumed by React and languages like Python. But jQuery is still ridiculously widely used. PHP is basically persona non-grata on HN, but its market share among overall websites is still pretty high.

I'm kind of mad that the community here killed codevark's answer because that's an example of the messy world we live in that gives a partial answer to OP's question.

This is a good example --- there is no significant, independent thought or action of any kind without direct government control, oversight and influence.

When dealing with any organization in China, you are dealing indirectly with the authoritarian regime and it's military complex bent on world domination. They are the real upper management of the organization.

If I tell people not to go out "for their safety", and then I go out, it is reasonable to question whether I believe those rules are actually necessary to keep people safe. It is also reasonable to question whether I understand how normal human nature is going to react to the revelation that I didn't keep the rules that I myself made, and whether I understand how pervasive cameras are these days.
Thanks! This seems like a great replacement. Much better than l337x or TPB, especially with dark mode turned on!
Illegal guns start as legal guns. With both AI and guns you need to be willing to think about the problem at every step in the chain, not just at the end.
It's already being done on some EV's [1][2]. I think it less about batteries going bad and more about getting people back on the road quickly. I think it's also risky for end users to be doing progressively faster and faster speed charges. They can catch fire with kids in the car.

Using the linked method the charging and battery testing occurs in a safer location away from occupants and allows for slower charging and less spikes on the power grid perhaps even using more solar power to charge reconditioned packs. Get this process fast enough and people will demand EV's because they can get back on the road faster than using a petrol station.

It's also about staying current and staying green. As more efficient batteries come out in a few years, one can swap out and be more green and have more range. That battery pack is a massive investment and this would keep that investment strong. Most people are not going to voluntarily fork out another $15-$50K depending on vehicle and will just let their existing pack age out.
