how many people do you talk to in a day?
- noosphr 2y agoThis is a perfect example of the limitations of old school social graphs. The number of people you talk to is just the first order effect. What about all the people that people in your company talked to? That has a non zero economic impact on you. Similarly for any other company that your company talks to, and so on and so on.
- exe34 2y agothat still scales linearly with number of people, not quadratically.
- noosphr 2y agoIt scales super exponentially since each person is a member of an arbitrary number of groups and their actions have some non zero impact on each other member of the groups they are a member of, and each individual in each group with a member of which they have interacted with.
- exe34 2y agoif that were the case, numerical weather prediction wouldn't work. you can add up the impact for each neighbour.
