O(1000) here is an egregious abuse of asymptotic complexity notation

Anyone who uses big-O notation in that way to try to look smart really … isn’t.

Maybe they've all been honey trapped? That abusive swinger's club thing in SV? Was THAT just an elaborated honey trap?
Shaun Maguire @shaunmmaguire People have no idea how sophisticated nation state activities are If you are a target of opportunity for China it’s not unheard of for them to dedicate O(1000) humans dedicated to compromising you This is what happened w their NYT hack in 2013, which was designed to send a message They will compromise your friend’s friend’s friend to compromise you And work down that chain until your friend invites you on a fun trip on a private plane to Mexico/Thailand/wherever (example) Where some night you have a very boozy dinner and then you show back up at the house and some girls are there You’re drunk and make a mistake and then you’re owned until you’re disposable Nation state kompromat for “target’s of choice” is a system designed to find any individual’s weakness (you’re bisexual; a gambler, an alcoholic, drug addict, have a debt, adulterous, etc) and then force them into a situation of maximum amplification of this weakness 99% of people can be compromised using nation state capabilities and tactics

he is using big O notation incorrectly but probably means "about a thousand"

This is not how big-O notation works, either

Niche annoyance but this dude clearly doesn’t know how O() notation works. O(1000) is the same as O(1).

Yup yup I used the same notation as what The New York Times used on its website

bit of a tangent but this is a wild situation in which to deploy big O notation. O(1000) is the same thing as O(1). all ur saying is they will dedicate an asymptotically constant number of humans to compromising me

Yes, you're correct, there's 0 reason to use big-O notation because O(any constant) = O(1), kind of definitionally the point of big-O notation lol.
