Ironman has released its updated competition rules for 2015, taking effect this March and designed to align more closely with the ITU’s regulations.

The rules for drafting distances, time penalties and wetsuit water temperature cut-offs will now be globally uniform at Ironman and Ironman 70.3 events:
Draft zones
The age-group bicycle draft zone is 10m long, measured from the leading edge of the front wheel and extending towards the back of the bike (five bike lengths of clear space between bikes). An age-group athlete may enter the draft zone of another athlete when passing and must continuously progress through the draft zone. A maximum of 20secs will be allowed to pass through the zone of another athlete.
The professional bicycle draft zone is 12m long, measured from the leading edge of the front wheel and extending towards the back of the bike (six bike lengths of clear space between bikes). A professional athlete must immediately move to the side upon entering the draft zone of another athlete when passing (in other words, no slipstreaming) and must continuously progress through the draft zone. A maximum of 25secs will be allowed to pass through the zone of another athlete.
Race referee cards (professional and age group athletes)
Yellow Card: Stop and Go Time Penalty
Blue Card: Five Minute Time Penalty
Red Card: Disqualification (DSQ)
Time penalties (professional and age group athletes)
First Time Penalty: Five minutes
Second Time Penalty: Five minutes
Third Time Penalty: Disqualification (DSQ)
Any combination of three cards (yellow or blue) will result in a disqualification (red card).
Professional and age group wetsuit cut-off temperatures
Professional athletes will be allowed to wear wetsuits in water temperatures up to and including 21.9C. Age group athletes will be allowed to wear wetsuits in water temperatures up to and including 24.5C.
“We have been working closely with the ITU on this initiative for the past year,” said Ironman CEO Andrew Messick. “As Ironman continues to grow globally and expand into emerging markets that have limited Federation support, it is important that we have a uniform set of rules at our races. This is a big first step for us to harmonise our competition rules, which will create a more consistent race day experience.”
@IronmanTri @CEOIronman Thanks guys, very happy about the lower wetsuit cut-off for pro’s. Much needed!

@IronmanTri If we can align with ITU rules, how about their commitment to equality for pro triathletes? @50WomenToKona #dotherightthing

The new rules will take effect in Europe, Africa and the Americas on 1 March, and in the Asia-Pacific region between March and July. A complete download of Ironman’s competition rules for 2015 can be downloaded here.

在商业与技术的领域,对话式人工智能已经获得了行业广泛的认可与使用,也产生了重大而直接的价值。 最初这是由GPT-2 到 GPT-3 等大语言模型奠定了深厚基础,然后它们的高级后继者将对话界面提升到了新的高度。 新版本的大语言模型不仅仅能处理输入,还能够完美地集成到聊天环境中,从而实现动态、响应式,并根据用户需求智能定制的交互。 OpenAI 和 Google 等通过 API 对外开放,可以让开发者快速集成,让企业能够将人工智能驱动的功能增强到现有系统。 对考虑数据隐私的组织来说,使用开源框架在本地部署大型语言模型,也可以解决相关问题,建立自己的规则。 这种灵活性也是存在代价,无论是硬件投资还是云部署支出。通过精心设计的架构,企业可以有效地利用 ChatGPT 或 Google Bard 的 API 等商业模型,而不会损害其私人数据。 集成本地模型和商业模型目前也已经可能,其中敏感数据由本地模型处理以限制数据暴露,并且商业模型的更广泛功能用于更通用的交互。 5 个关键业务用例 跨越不同的业务领域。这些人工智能驱动的工具超越了单纯的技术进步;他们正在重塑企业与客户互动的方式,简化复杂的运营,并鼓励新形式的创新。我们现在将探讨这些模型产生深远影响的五个关键用例。 客户支持助手 对话式人工智能的第一个也是最直观的应用在于客户参与。通过将这些模型集成到客户生命周期的各个阶段,企业可以明显增强与客户的互动。 让我们探讨一下实现这一目标: 1)订单处理——对话式人工智能可以将传统的订单处理流程转变为交互式、高效且用户友好的体验。通过以自然语言理解和处理客户请求,这些模型可以促进无缝订单下达、定制与确认。 2)客户支持——人工智能驱动的聊天界面是客户咨询和支持的第一联系点。通过利用大型语言模型,企业可以提供即时、准确的 24*7 支持。这不仅可以缩短响应时间,还可以确保所提供支持质量的一致性。 3)投诉管理- 处理客户的不满和投诉是客户服务的一个重要方面。对话式人工智能可以有效地分类投诉,提供即时响应,并将复杂问题上报给人类代表。这种方法有助于管理客户的期望,并通过确保及时有效地解决他们的问题来提高满意度。 一个简单的设置即可奠定第一块基石: 2.人工智能驱动的数据接口 这是科幻小说中经常设想的概念,即人工智能与数据管理的集成,正在企业环境中迅速成为现实。传统的数据处理方法需要丰富的数据存储结构知识、SQL 技能和大量时间,但这种方法正在不断发展。 1)轻松的数据检索和聚合 大语言模型为与公司数据交互提供了革新型的用户界面。 通过自然语言指令,这些模型可以轻松收集和聚合数据,从而简化你的组织内部流程。想象一下,通过简单的查询请求复杂数据的便利性,例如“显示产品 X 过去五年中按季度计算的平均投诉解决时间。” 通过大语言模型处理的此类查询可以在几秒钟内产生所需之结果。 2)智能集成和隐私保护 为了有效实施,明智地集成访问权限至关重要。所有公司内部表都应在 RAG(检索增强生成)路由过程中进行完整描述。 一旦数据库被集成并且其结构被全面记录,可以确保敏感数据不会直接暴露给模型。例如,模型可以生成 SQL 查询并根据其结构选择数据库,而实际的数据检索和聚合则在安全的环境中进行。该设置可确保敏感信息仅可供最终用户使用,而大语言模型则无法使用,特别是在不需要以自然语言输出的情况下。 授予大语言模型特定的访问权限,例如通用的分析数据检索(例如计数查询),可以进一步简化操作。这使得企业能够利用大语言模型的力量进行数据分析,而不会影响数据安全和隐私。 3.人工智能辅助人力资源 基于客户交互和数据接口中应用的原则,常见的实现是 HR 文档接口。诸如“今年我还剩多少假期?”之类的问题。或“我的部门有哪些消防安全预防措施?” 这些都可以由人工智能驱动的人力资源助手有效地处理。…
