minus-squareDeebster@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up14arrow-down5·edit-21 month agoSeem ok to me, both in grammar and what it’s saying about the change. O(N²) to O(N) would be an exponential drop (2 down to 1, in fact).
minus-squareGiooschi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 month agoAn “exponential drop” would be a drop that follow an exponential curve, but this doesn’t. What you mean is a “drop in the exponent”, which however doesn’t sound as nice.
minus-squareBogasse@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 month agoIt’s at least misleading 😛 But I have to agree that for any non-math people this would convey the right idea, whereas “quadratic improvement” would probably not mean anything 🤷
