Abstract: This disclosure is directed to generating one or more presence-event notifications at one or more user devices associated with a user, and transmitting those presence-event notifications to one or more presence server(s). At the presence server(s) a stream of presence-event notifications may be filtered according to any number of predefined criteria, and then the presence-event notifications that have filtered through may be applied to presence plug-ins to generate presence information associated with user(s) for whom presence-event notifications were received. The presence-event notifications may be provided as a stream of presence information to one or more consumers of presence information and/or stored in a presence datastore. A consumer of presence information, such as a service provider, may request presence information associated with one or more users.

Abstract: Techniques described and suggested herein include systems and methods for updating, adding, deleting, managing, and otherwise manipulating instance data across multiple virtual instances in an addressable fashion. For example, a customer may control or otherwise be associated with a fleet of virtual instances running on one or more hosts of a computing resource service provider. The described techniques enable customers, or other entities, to update instance data related to arbitrarily defined groups of the fleet using, e.g., tags or other common identifiers, so as to, e.g., alter operational characteristics of some or all of a given fleet of virtual instances without necessitating individual alteration of each instance.

Abstract: An input attitude associated with an input device of an aircraft is received. A supplemental attitude is generated, including by selecting a position-based supplemental attitude to be the supplemental attitude in the event the input device is in a disengaged state and selecting a velocity-based supplemental attitude to be the supplemental attitude in the event the input device is in an engaged state. The input attitude and the supplemental attitude are combined in order to obtain a combined attitude. The aircraft is controlled using the combined attitude.

Abstract: A method includes receiving audio data corresponding to an utterance and generating, by an automated speech recognizer, a personalized transcription associated with a voice action. The personalized transcription includes one or more of one or more terms that are not included in a vocabulary of a cloud-based automated speech recognizer. The method also includes transmitting the audio data to the cloud-based automated speech recognizer. The cloud-based automated speech recognizer is configured to generate a mistranscription of the utterance and transmit the mistranscription of the utterance to a mobile computing device or a digital assistant device. When the mistranscription of the utterance includes a term associated with the voice action, the method also includes providing a search results page that includes a control for initiating the voice action and one or more search results that are generated based on the mistranscription of the utterance generated by the cloud-based automated speech recognizer.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying permitted illegal access operations in a module system are disclosed. An operation, expressed in a first module, that attempts to access a module element of a second module is identified. Based on a module declaration associated with the second module, the module element is determined inaccessible to the first module. Additionally or alternatively, based on an access modifier associated with the module element, the module element is determined inaccessible to the operation. The operation is determined as an illegal access operation. The illegal access operation is permitted to access the module element. A warning corresponding to the illegal access operation is generated.
