Two good questions this morning from Andrew Simonet. The second is one I don’t think we talk about enough: you can’t just have the greatest art from the greatest artists, without the whole cultural ecosystem that produces and nurtures them. The minor artists and the failed experiments all play essential roles too.

I would like to find a necklace that chimes, be that bells or harmony balls. Do any small business folk on Fedi make or sell anything of the sort? I know they exist elsewhere--Etsy and the like--but I wanted to ask here, first. Any sort of chiming jewelry that will be long-lasting will do, no matter the form. I just miss being able to carry the sound of bells with me wherever I went. I used to have a gorgeous silver harmony ball but it got lost in an airport.

PGTNet: A Process Graph Transformer Network for Remaining Time Prediction of Business Process Instances
We present PGTNet, an approach that transforms event logs into graph datasets and leverages graph-oriented data for training Process Graph Transformer Networks to predict the remaining time of business process instances. PGTNet consistently outperforms state-of-the-art deep learning approaches across a diverse range of 20 publicly available real-world event logs. Notably, our approach is most promising for highly complex processes, where existing deep learning approaches encounter difficulties …

I just attended a couple of photo-contests on FineArtAmerica. I've never done that before - I have absolutely no idea how things are going there.
Let's see if I get at least one vote for any of my photos:

Modern Datalog on the GPU
Modern deductive database engines (e.g., LogicBlox and Soufflé) enable their users to write declarative queries which compute recursive deductions over extensional data, leaving their high-performance operationalization (query planning, semi-naïve evaluation, and parallelization) to the engine. Such engines form the backbone of modern high-throughput applications in static analysis, security auditing, social-media mining, and business analytics. State-of-the-art engines are built upon nested …
