When people say there’s been an “𝑥 fold increase in such and such.” They mean such and such is 𝑥 times as big.

If you get something that actually folds like a sheet of paper, the amount of layers doubles each time. One fold = twice as many layers. Two folds = four times as many layers…

        It took me way too long to realise you weren’t asserting an unorthodox answer to the nondeterministic polynomial time problem.

          haha sorry!

          My wrist is pretty messed up, and sometimes, it basically seizes up, so I went back to 15 yrs ago txt message dialect…

          And then after posting it I realized, oh that could be confused with… ah fuck it time to ice my wrist and do more massage.

        I read that as “NP != D” and spent far too long trying to figure out what the variables N, P, and D were in this context.
