Abstract: A website development system automatically generates text for a webpage. The system obtains a prompt template associated with a section of the webpage, where the prompt template includes one or more parameters. Based on the webpage, the prompt template determines a first value for a first one of the one or more parameters. A request to provide input for a second value of a second parameter is sent for display to a user. Using the prompt template, the first value, and the second value, the system generates a prompt to a large language model to generate text for the section of the webpage.

Abstract: A computer application may aim to identify first and second “matching” objects. The matching method cannot necessarily be based on how visually similar the two objects are to each other because two matching objects might be different and/or be visually different. Moreover, the images of the objects to be matched might not necessarily have metadata to assist in the matching. In some embodiments, a machine learning model may be trained using a set of digital images, each including two or more matching objects. Triplet loss training may be used, and each triplet may include: an image of a first object extracted from a first image, an image of an object that is visually similar to an image of a second object extracted from the first image, and an image of a third object extracted from a different image.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling access to services. Methods may comprise receiving, from a first client of a plurality of clients, a first request to access a first service of a plurality of services. The first service may be associated with a first bulkhead. A first count of concurrent active requests to the first service via the first bulkhead may be determined. If the first count is equal to a first bulkhead maximum value, access to the first service via the first bulkhead may consequently be refused. A second count of concurrent active requests via a shared burst bulkhead may be determined. The second count may correspond to concurrent active requests to any of the plurality of services via the shared burst bulkhead. If the second count is less than a shared burst maximum value, the first request to the first service may be routed via the shared burst bulkhead.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing requests with load-dependent throttling. The system compares a count of active job requests being currently processed for a user associated with a new job request with an active job cap number for that user. When the count of active job requests being currently processed for that user does not exceed the active job cap number specific to that user, the job request is added to an active job queue for processing. However, when the count of active job requests being currently processed for that user exceeds the active job cap number, the job request is placed on a throttled queue to await later processing when an updated count of active job requests being currently processed for that user is below the active job cap number. Once the count is below the cap, the throttle request is moved to the active job queue for processing.

Abstract: The server hosting the database scans a binlog for database change events. When a log consumer identifies a change event indicating that certain database records were modified, the consumer pulls only the identifiers of the modified records from the binlog. The log consumer then populates and pushes only the identifiers of the modified records into a non-transitory storage location that is accessible to a database streaming bus. The streaming bus publishes the identifiers for consumption by instances of materialization workers. The hosting server invokes parallel processor threads to execute the materialization workers. The materialization worker rewrites a query script for constructing a materialized view of certain database records, including the modified database records indicated by the identifiers. The materialization worker executes the query script to construct the materialized view, which contains only the modified database records used for generating the database updates to commit to the database.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for blockchain network congestion-adaptive handling of events relating to digital assets, including creation and transfer operations. A congestion metric is measured to determine current congestion of the blockchain network. If below a first threshold level, then digital asset request are implemented using blockchain transactions at layer 1 as they are received. If the metric is above the first threshold level, then the received requests are deferred until a trigger is detected, whereupon the requests are processed at layer 2 and a batch blockchain transaction is used to implement the two or more requests by recording the updated state on chain. When the metric falls below a second threshold, the process reverts to using layer 1 blockchain transactions instead of deferring requests for layer 2 batch processing.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that require/force bots to access and interact with webpages at a similar level to humans, by including an executable script that generates/updates a test value for a webpage. The client devices must perform certain processing and/or rendering of the webpage to call the computations necessary for generating the updated test value. The script must be executed as a function of processing and/or rendering the webpage. The script may be retrieved from the webserver as a function of processing and/or rendering the webpage.
