Last year, fashion publications wrote extensively about the impact of the algorithm on personal style. (Vogue Business included.) In last year’s fashion conversation, ‘the algorithm’ surpassed its ...

Abstract: While the Karatsuba algorithm reduces the complexity of large integer multiplication, the extra additions required minimize its benefits for smaller integers of more commonly-used bitwidths.

I'm writing more multiplication tests for the various data integer algorithms, and it became apparent that at least some of the arithmetic inside the Karatsuba algorithm should be allowed to overflow.

Three new books warn against turning into the person the algorithm thinks you are. Like a lot of Netflix subscribers, I find that my personal feed tends to be hit or miss. Usually more miss. The ...
