Though its glamorous nostalgia for a more innocent, more naive time could be seen as a shortcoming, it is also part of its charm.
Bellman (1962) showed that the naive time complexity of \(O(n!)\) for \(\sc{TSP}\) could be improved to \(O(2^n n^2)\) via the use of dynamic programming.
Venmo's casual over-sharing now feels like a holdover from an earlier, more naive time on the web, and it wouldn't be surprising if it decided to later adjust the app's settings to match where consumer sentiment is headed today.
Maybe it is no more complicated than the fact that the spring of 1965 was a simpler, more naive time, when one could imagine that young love, a flamboyant springtime, classical quartets, and the pursuit of great ideas could exist, even for a moment, in a sacred space, secure from tendentious politics, world events, and the sort of barbarism we all believed was a thing of the past.
But after the hoax was revealed, it became this symbol of charming innocence, of a more naive time". These days, the original Cardiff Giant is housed at the Farmer's Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y., (one of the sponsors to Marshal's project), and Barnum's replica can be found in Detroit at Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, although Boese takes the provenance of that one with a grain of salt.
The lower bound 1 log | D | (n + m ) for λ is chosen so that the time complexity O nm λ 2 log | D | 2 (n + m ) of matrix-vector multiplications involving the preprocessed matrix would be better than the naive time complexity O (n m).
I'm naive at times, but I'm not that naive.
"When you look back we've been naive at times," he said.
Well-meaning but deferential and even rather naive at times, this drama about Jesse Owens's journey over the hurdles of racism and discrimination to 1936 Olympic success is at pains to show almost every character (Hitler and Goebbels excluded) in the most flattering light possible.
It was a noble effort, if naive at times, but the smile on Robson's face as she walked off the Louis Armstrong Court after an hour and 38 minutes was surely one of satisfaction at reaching for the improbable with the best weapons she had.
