Like the Richter magnitude scale, each magnitude is incrementally ten times bigger. So 4.0 is 100x bigger than 2.0. But like apparent magnitude it’s subjective: The scale of the human effect is taken into account.

WARMLORE: On the internet, we are part of swarms: networks of people, bots, and content, coordinated through algorithmic feedback loops. Swarms are harbingers of misinformation, heralds of mutual aid, and representatives of the public will. But this is not our grandparents’ crowd. Swarms are networked tempests of humans and information. Most importantly, they can act collectively without explicit protocols; they are minimally protocolized entities.

Great Paper when thinking about todays outake…

1) Complex systems are intrinsically hazardous systems. All of the interesting systems (e.g. transportation, healthcare, power generation) are inherently and unavoidably hazardous by the own nature. The frequency of hazard exposure can sometimes be changed but the processes involved in the system are themselves intrinsically and irreducibly hazardous. It is the presence of these hazards that drives the creation of defenses against hazard that characterize these systems.

LATENT COMMUNITIES: There is enormous interest in building new movements today. But you don’t have to start anew if you want to change the world. Communities lie on a spectrum in terms of their origins: either they have been created to achieve a goal, or they appear to have been created almost by default; no purpose, they just exist. Who can harness the latent power of those default communities? What power do they have?

See in real time where (and in some cases, why) internet access is being restricted.

In this document, we will discuss the topic of skill in core multiplayer matchmaking, its implementation, and how we have observed positive results from the fine tuning of skill in the matchmaking algorithm used by Call of Duty.

He argues that an opaque interface requires a certain amount of trust, but once established, allows you to just delegate tasks to the agent without micro-managing. This async nature also lends itself to longer-running tasks - which means agents doing more work for you.
