Also known as: NP Β· News Finds Me Perception
NP, in this context, refers to the news-finds-me perception: the belief that important news will reach a person without active searching. It is often associated with reliance on social media feeds, recommender systems, and algorithmic information environments.
The belief that important news will reach one without actively seeking it, often through social media or recommender systems.
In computational complexity theory, NP (nondeterministic polynomial time) is a complexity class used to classify decision problems. NP is the set of decision problems for which the problem instances, where the answer is "yes", have proofs verifiable in polynomial time.
