Wow, someone discovered a more efficient way of multiplying two 3×3 matrices! You might think this would have already been solved.

This new method, due to A. Perminov, uses 58 addition/subtractions and 23 multiplications. The previous best used 60 addition/subtractions and 23 multiplications - and that was discovered only in August last year!

This is not at all the sort of math I'd ever want to work on; it reminds me of pole-vaulting and other specialized athletic competitions. But it's one of those problems that's easy to explain, hard to solve. And those are great for luring people into the subject.

(As @robinhouston emphasizes, this new scheme is the only the best known if you want to allow for the possibility that multiplication could be noncommutative for the 'numbers' in your matrices - like if they're other matrices, which can be useful in recursive algorithms for multiplying large matrices . For commutative rings, like the reals and complex numbers, people already know how to do multiply 3×3 matrices with just 21 multiplications.)

Dear politicians,

The problem is not that I disagree with you.

The problem is that your only job is, by definition, to protect the common good. But big corporations managed to brainwash you into thinking that there’s no such thing as the common good.

You are not yet on the level we can disagree with. You are not even on a level we can discuss with. You are a child playing the "elect me game" to distract our attention.

And it works.

That makes me sad…

@signalapp Is there really no way to have stickers not continuously loop? EN301549 11.2.2.2 and WCAG 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide (Level A) is essential for accessibility. Please give us a setting that stops animations (including GIFs!) after one loop.
