LAST YEAR, SOME 124,000 PEOPLE voted to name a new British research vessel Boaty McBoatface, but the decision was overturned. The ship was named instead for the popular British broadcaster Sir David Attenborough. Trainy McTrainface, however, will today officially receive its name in a naming ceremony in Gothenburg, Sweden, reports The Local.
Earlier this year, the Swedish transport company MTR Express held a public vote to name their new Stockholm-Gothenburg express trains. Trainy McTrainface was the runaway winner. At the time, amid fears that Trainy might meet a similar fate to Boaty, marketing chief Per Nasfi promised this would not be the case. “I can guarantee with my life that the train will be called Trainy McTrainface,” Nasfi told The Local.
Ceremonies will be held in Gothenburg and Stockholm to name the new fleet of trains, all of which have crowdsourced names: Ingvar, after a local television host; Estelle, after Princess Estelle of Sweden; and Glenn, a reference to a popular joke that everyone in Gothenburg is called Glenn (in the 1980s, four of the players in local football team IFK Göteborg shared the name). Trainy McTrainface’s ceremony will take place at Gothenburg’s local station, after which the name will be emblazoned on its red exterior.

Yeah, reinforcement learning has a long and great history*. There's a great book that I'm reading now that'll be out soon by Julian Togelius and Georgios Yannakakis, who both do research on Procedural generation stuff. It's all about different AI methods for playing games, making games, etc.
Reinforcement learning is great because generally similar to a lot of the most successful techniques right now, which all sort of come down to giving a computer a general idea of how to understand some data, then giving it some data and going "I don't know, you figure it out"
*"Long" in this case refers to like "Some people used prototypical versions of it in like the 80s"

I don't understand that bridge. Is it actually 11'8"? Is it actually a few inches shorter? My work van is a bit over 9' tall, and there are bridges here I know I can't make it through so I go around.
I just... this is your job. How do you do this? And so many people?
The clearance signage displays a maximum safe clearance – and yes, in that sense it is accurate. The actual clearance of the crash beam right in front of the trestle is 11 feet 10.8 inches, which gives it a 2.8 inch safety margin. The MUTCD allows for a maximum of 3 inches difference between the signage and the actual clearance.

In the compilation videos, the bulk are rentals and RVs, so most of the time it's not their job. But yep, there's still a good number of professionals hitting it.
I especially hang my head at the delivery trucks, as presumably they aren't from out of town AND routinely drive the area.

The bridge is located over a slope so that from one side it appears to have a larger gap than it actually does.

To be fair, most of the times I've used Uhaul, the trucks have been near undrivable. Alignment so shot I had the wheel at over 90 degrees to go straight, one side brakes not working, a transmission that left me stranded on the side of the road...
But yeah, getting stuck in a drive thru is pretty good.

I drove a 26' Uhaul (had reserved something much smaller, they had already signed out all of them before I got there, gave me this instead. "Hm well I've never driven a truck this big before." 'You'll be fine, don't crash it.') from Michigan to Connecticut once, mid February early 2000s. At no point did I ever feel confident the truck was going to make it. To be fair, it DID make it and without any trip-ending problem but it felt like traveling back to the dawn of road travel, where you never knew how far your Model T would go before having to do roadside repair. The cabin somehow managed to be too hot and too cold at the same time; no amount of vent manipulation up to and including stuffing towels over them would stop stifling, incredible heat from coming in, and the windows were about as effective as a screen door (they also had the side benefit of rattling horrendously if you ever got up to the exhilarating speed of 60mph) Braking? Fortunately I have piloted many watercraft so I was familiar of how you must plan ahead to where you're actually going to come to a stop. I don't recall any alignment issue, but "Hey, I can steer it" is not really a ringing endorsement
