Abstract: A method may include in response to a user request for a playlist, identifying, by a processing device, a plurality of media items from the playlist, for each of the plurality of media items, determining whether a respective media item is available for a playback on a user device, in response to a determination that the respective media item is not available for the playback on the user device, causing the use device to advance to a next media item on the playlist without user interaction, and in response to a determination that the respective media item is available for the playback on the user device, causing the user device to play the respective media item.

Abstract: A wireless device receives, before a scheduled sidelink transmission via a resource of one or more resources of a sidelink resource pool of a cell, a downlink control information (DCI). The DCI indicates switching from a first bandwidth part of the cell to a second bandwidth part of the cell as an active bandwidth part. In response to the DCI: the second bandwidth part is activated after a delay from the reception of the DCI; the scheduled sidelink transmission via the resource of the one or more resources is dropped; and monitoring physical sidelink control channels for sidelink control information is skipped during the delay.

Abstract: A user device cradle can include a receiver configured to removably retain a wireless user device. One or more Radio Frequency (RF) signal couplers and one or more power couplers can be disposed in the receiver of the cradle. The one or more RF signal couplers can be configured to couple one or more RF communication signals to the wireless user device, while the one or more power couplers can be configured to couple power to the wireless user device. The coupling of power to the user device can be reduced or minimized when a downlink signal is received by a user device in the user device cradle, or when the user device cradle is in a weak signal area.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology evaluate places that are familiar to a given user in order to provide contextualized location information about other places of interest. This may include evaluating the actual number of visits by the given user to one or more locations in a given geographical area. For instance, places that have been visited a sufficient number of times within a particular timeframe are identified as personal landmarks for that user. Thus, when the user searches for a specific place or otherwise requests results that fit a query, the system can use the personalized landmark information to help rank search results and to provide location cues to aid the user to quickly and efficiently arrive at the location of the search result. Personal landmarks are necessarily familiar to the user, and thus can reduce the number of turn-by-turn directions or simplify the graphical interface of the client device.

Abstract: Bounding box quantization can reduce the quantity of bits utilized to express numerical values prior to the multiplication of matrices comprised of such numerical values, thereby reducing both memory consumption and processor utilization. Stochastic rounding can provide sufficient precision to enable the storage of weight values in reduced-precision formats without having to separately store weight values in a full-precision format. Alternatively, other rounding mechanisms, such as round to nearest, can be utilized to exchange weight values in reduced-precision formats, while also storing weight values in full-precision formats for subsequent updating. To facilitate conversion, reduced-precision formats such as brain floating-point format can be utilized.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a user interface for interacting with a smart contract deployed to a blockchain. The user interface is custom-generated for each party to the smart contract. In particular, representations of actions that a particular party is enabled to perform and/or has already taken with respect to the smart contract are provided to that party via a user interface. A user experience generator queries the smart contract itself to determine which representations are to be provided to each party. The smart contract comprises functions and/or user experience annotations that indicate to the user experience generator which user interface representations should be provided to a particular user based on the party identity and/or the smart contract's state. The smart contract provides an event notification to the user experience generator, which prompts the user experience generator to query the smart contract to determine the allowed actions for a particular user.
