The embodiment further includes allocating an initial amount of computing resources to execute the multiple commands, queuing a subset of the multiple commands for execution based on the dependency graph, adding an estimated amount of computing resources to the initial amount based on the number of the queued subset of commands and an estimated time to complete the queued subset of commands, and releasing a portion of the estimated amount of computing resources in response to the portion of the estimated amount of computing resources being idle for an amount of time greater than a target time.

Abstract: A crop prediction system performs various machine learning operations to predict crop production and to identify a set of farming operations that, if performed, optimize crop production. The crop prediction system uses crop prediction models trained using various machine learning operations based on geographic and agronomic information. Responsive to receiving a request from a grower, the crop prediction system can access information representation of a portion of land corresponding to the request, such as the location of the land and corresponding weather conditions and soil composition. The crop prediction system applies one or more crop prediction models to the access information to predict a crop production and identify an optimized set of farming operations for the grower to perform.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein mitigate stochasticity when controlling a mechanical system with artificial intelligence (AI) agents. In some configurations, AI agents are created using data generated by a machine learning model. Stochasticity is segmented temporally into near term and long term, and different strategies are used to address stochasticity in the different timeframes. For example, long term stochasticity may be addressed with changes to the reward function used to train the model. Short term stochasticity may be addressed by applying a margin to the output of an AI agent. Example margins include window averaging, clamps, and statistical process control bounds. In one configuration, AI agents are regression brains that are generated from setpoints inferred by the model from environmental states. The limitations inherent to fitting a regression line to this data may result in some predicted setpoints being outside of an allowed range.

Abstract: A live media streaming architecture facilitates live interaction among multiple participants, such as viewers and stage performers for a show. A cluster of computers is responsible for generating, transmitting, and displaying a composed live stream, such as a grid, of one group of individuals, by mixing live streams from those individuals, that will allow them to interact with a stage performer or other contributors or other individuals during an event. The architecture can support receiving the live streams at a physical location of an event or other locations for centralized redistribution.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for maintaining a stabilized digital currency is provided. The systems and methods include monitoring for one or more digital transactions in a service provider network utilizing digital coins, minting and storing a predetermined percentage of reserve tokens of the digital coins in a reserve pool, providing compensation for the one or more digital transactions as utility tokens of the digital coins, and monitoring current value of the digital coins for the digital currency for inflation or deflation.

Abstract: A network of orbiting satellites can be used with a distributed network of nodes to deliver live video streams from physical locations in space to Earth for distribution to viewers on client devices. The approach can include replicating a distributed network cluster in space where each orbiting satellite is a node in the network. This system allows entities to deliver low latency live video streams from cameras mounted on the spacecraft, as well as other satellites, and on the surface of the Moon and planets. The latency will depend on the communication technology used and the distance of the video source from Earth. The lowest latency can be achieved by using optical communication technology, such as laser communication. The system can distribute live streams originating in space to a large global audience through an earth-based distribution network and can support millions of concurrent online users with near real-time latency.

The paddle assembly is movable between a rearward position and a forward position in a longitudinal direction. The pedal assembly is rotatably moved by a lower body movement of a user and the paddle assembly is moved by an upper body movement of the user.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a traffic analysis service that monitors a network obtains file metadata regarding an electronic file. The traffic analysis service determines a sensitivity score for the electronic file based on the file metadata. The traffic analysis service detects the electronic file within traffic in the network. The traffic analysis service causes performance of a mitigation action regarding the detection of the electronic file within the traffic, based on the sensitivity score of the electronic file.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for thermally separating a flask and the base of an automatic flask stirring device. A thermal separator apparatus may be provided with a stand and a plurality of first standoffs. The stand may have a top surface configured to support a flask containing a substance to be stirred by a flask stirrer. The first standoffs may be located between the stand and a flask stirrer base, thereby creating a first air gap between the stand and the flask stirrer base. In some embodiments, the first air gap allows air to flow straight through the first air gap in a first direction.
