Constant for integer multiplication crosses K = 0.003 threshold

Original: Κ = 0.003 for integer multiplication crossed

A benchmark tied to the constant factor K in integer multiplication has reportedly been crossed, with the value now below 0.003, documented in a public code repository. Programmers and algorithm enthusiasts are debating the result, which concerns how efficiently large integers can be multiplied in practice.

Why now: Improvements in the constants behind integer multiplication are a rare, notable milestone for the algorithms community.
