That's awesome! Don't personally have funding, but I'm wondering what if anything is holding this back from being deployed more widely? Why aren't other companies pursuing this?

Thanks for the link! I'm looking for a course that really does get into the weeds about applying complexity theory to create value for my work. Would you recommend one of their listed courses in particular?

I mentioned this in another thread, but I was wondering if you had any examples of complexity theory informing what investments to make into the power grid? e.g. emergent behaviour is predictably reduced by adding X MWh of batteries in a ce

Is complexity theory related to computational complexity? The webpage never mentioned big-O notation, and Wikipedia's disambiguation header seems to imply they're mostly unrelated: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Could you elaborate on the power grid idea? It seems like a good example of how to apply complexity theory to make hard decisions, in this case optimal investments in grid stabilization.

How does complexity theory benefit real people? Unlike theories of physics or economics, it doesn't appear to describe how anything actually works , rather that things are just more complex than they seem. For instance, complexity the

Quick question: is anything stopping GameStop itself from authorizing a whole bunch new shares and selling them at this all-time-high price? I understand the Redditors trust each other, but what makes them think they can trust GameStop?

That's an interesting question. Supercavitating torpedoes take advantage of two effects (a) gas typically is much less viscous than liquid, which reduces drag and (b) if you reduce the pressure enough, liquid turns into gas. In the atm

This is my first time hearing from Garry Tan, and I just want to say that his voice is incredible. It reminds me of Chris Voss' "late night FM DJ voice" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJjnkxvbxaI ) Could any
