Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods that include and/or leverage one or more machine-learned language models that generate intermediate textual analysis (e.g., including usage of structural tools such as APIs) in service of contextual text generation. For example, a computing system can obtain a contextual text string that includes one or more contextual text tokens. The computing system can process the contextual text string with the machine-learned language model to generate one or more intermediate text strings that include one or more intermediate text tokens. The computing system can process the one or more intermediate text strings with the machine-learned language model to generate an output text string comprising one or more output text tokens. The one or more intermediate text strings can include textual analysis of the contextual text string that supports the output text string.

Abstract: An electrically powered hydraulic fracturing system includes pumps for pressurizing fracturing fluid, piping for carrying fracturing fluid, and field connections in obliquely oriented segments of the piping. The connections are between lead lines that couple directly to the pumps and lines carrying fluid to and from the pump; and are assembled and disassembled in the field. Operations personnel can more easily manipulate connections that are obliquely oriented than those that are horizontal or vertical.

Abstract: A serverless computing framework is secured against malicious payload injection. A series of functions can be strung together to perform a workflow in response to a triggering event. A validator can be included with a function that verifies that an input payload originated from a trusted source. A validation value, such as a hash, can be computed based on the result payload in combination with the source code of the function that produced the result payload. A downstream function can receive the result payload and the hash and utilize the result payload and a copy of the upstream source code to produce another hash. The received and generated hashes can then be compared and utilized to control execution of the downstream function. Execution can be prevented when there is a mismatch between the hashes.

Abstract: Methods, computer systems, computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for providing contextual profile data related to code. In embodiments, a contextual indicator indicating at least a portion of code accessed at a user device and/or a developer associated with the at least the portion of code is obtained. Based on the contextual indicator, contextual profile data related to the code and/or the developer is determined by communicating, via a network, with a remote server having a global repository including the at least the portion of code. Thereafter, the contextual profile data is provided for display in a profile card associated with the developer.

Abstract: A container including a lid, a first body, a second body and a latch is provided. The first body connects to the lid by a first hinge for pivoting between a lid closed position and a lid open position. The first body defines a storage cavity. The second body connects to the first body by a second hinge for pivoting the first body relative to the second body between a first body closed position and a first body open position. The second body defines a storage cavity. The latch is attached to the second body. The latch is transitionable between a latched position in which the latch engages the lid and prevents transitioning either the lid or the first body to the corresponding open positions.

Abstract: This document generally describes systems, methods, devices, and other techniques related to speaker verification, including (i) training a neural network for a speaker verification model, (ii) enrolling users at a client device, and (iii) verifying identities of users based on characteristics of the users' voices. Some implementations include a computer-implemented method. The method can include receiving, at a computing device, data that characterizes an utterance of a user of the computing device. A speaker representation can be generated, at the computing device, for the utterance using a neural network on the computing device. The neural network can be trained based on a plurality of training samples that each: (i) include data that characterizes a first utterance and data that characterizes one or more second utterances, and (ii) are labeled as a matching speakers sample or a non-matching speakers sample.

Abstract: A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures is disclosed. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket couplable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A biasing mechanism can facilitate convenient movement of the object.

Abstract: A maze-based switch generally having three functional blocks is disclosed. The first functional block handles communications by accepting an entered maze pattern from an external system controller and outputting the entered maze pattern (and optionally its directional complement) to the second functional block. The second functional block stores the maze pattern (and optionally its directional complement) to a permanent storage element and outputs the stored, entered maze pattern and its directional complement to a series of transistors in the third functional block. The third functional block is an electronic maze in which a correct maze pattern and its directional complement must be received by the transistors for the transistors to pass electrical power through the electronic maze to a connected element. The third functional block may alternatively be implemented with optical elements, optoelectronic elements, microelectromechanical elements, or elements formed by other microsystem technologies.

Based on the path delay differences of the GEO and NGSO satellites, the system may create a data buffer to ensure no data loss.
