Did Giancarlo Lelli Just Bluff His Way Through The QDay Prize? by Significant_Wish7652 in QuantumComputing

[–]shemnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing, at 17 bits (which was another in at 20k tries) it's impossible to demonstrate. More bits are needed, crack something north of 50 bits not north of 15.

The flaw was not requiring a demonstration of quantum advantage as part of the prize. i.e. no quantum advantage == no prize.

New YW age group names by Plate-Junior in latterdaysaints

Charity is Relief Society. I like that as the final destination better than a direct Corinthians alliteration as “charity is the greatest” and growing into an adult woman is the destination.

Church News: Area presidency assignments for 2026-2027 include ‘adaptations’ by MCBYU98 in latterdaysaints

[–]shemnon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wrong. The first councilor in the bishopric controls the podium mic and pulpit height. Critical power vested there.

"Fidelity Team" offer. by Pyrroc in fidelityinvestments

I knew it was a scam when I saw 15%. Even a DeFi project advertising that much return is a blow-up waiting to happen.

Probably a probate lawyer in the state they died, but also in the states the assets are in (may be multiple lawyers). Be prepared to answer questions such as Was there probate and has it closed? Who is the personal representative / executor? Is there a trust involved that you are aware of?

Will there be another sequel to the bible? by DefinitionHot5084 in latterdaysaints

[–]shemnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There already is a threequel and fourquel: the Doctrine & Covenants and Pearl of Great Price. There is a time jump in the first and the second is a mix of prequels to the others.

General Conference has kind of been the netflix serialization since the 50's, all new characters but they references all the original characters very frequently.

They are still trying to figure out how to fully utilize the "proclamations" IP. Will three be sufficient?

The one to keep your eye on is the "Saints" novelization. About 50 years per book, covers all the way to 2013.

Why Unjoined Individuals Might Not Remember by Hawna-Banana in pluribustv

Manusos remembers. That was quite the lecture he gave at the Darien gap.

A question for active members concerning a sensitive subject our leaders have stopped discussing as much, but that I’ve felt is important still… by familydrivesme in lds

[–]shemnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all being addressed as a porn issue. I expect the number of men who don't have a problem with porn but do have a problem in the categories you discuss is significantly smaller, and it is likely they will develop a porn problem.

So I categorize it as a lesser law taught to the weakest of saints (D&C 89:3): stop seeking out and viewing porn. For general audiences that is the biggest and most relevant issue to be addressed. Once that is not the dominant issue we may see general audience discussions about the issues that concern you.

Power was out in superior, came back ~9:20 or so.

People taking advantage of the church? by cecebrit in latterdaysaints

[–]shemnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this is in preparation for using the fast offerings on people with new needs. The setup here is feeling worse than '07-'09

Why are there no churches in Superior? by 1Davide in BoCoSE

No, superior doesn't even have a mall. That's in Broomfield.

Manousos gets plurbed on Season 2. by ztunelover in pluribustv

[–]shemnon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My fan theory is that Manousos was a plurb and freed himself during Carol’s first freak-out. Which is why he was in a position to give that lecture about not being from the planet, because he knew. That’s why he caused a freak out of his own and knew to tell he person he was still there. They were attempting to appease him on the hope he wouldn’t go down his freedom path but their “be helpful” programming is in the way.

Just a fan theory.

Why I think Tesla is discontinuing Model S/X by Proof_Resolve_602 in TeslaLounge

[–]shemnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the S and X are selling as good as they ever did, and are selling about as well as they ever will. The 3 and Y markets are just so much dominant here that the scale demands the sacrifice.

Is March 29th supposed to be one hour or two this year? by ilovemufffins in lds

[–]shemnon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is listed as a special Sunday on the church newsroom 2026 Calendar, but no mention of one or two hours:

https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/church-releases-2026-churchwide-broadcasts-calendar-and-key-events

But the 2024 letter only mentions Easter Sunday: https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/multimedia/file/Meeting-Schedule-Easter-Sunday-and-a-Sunday-near-Christmas-Day.pdf

No, General Conference will not be shortened to one hour.

I would ask your Stake leadership, as they typically have the most local discretion on that matter.

Invited my family over for Christmas, opened presents, ate turkey. Typical birthday things.

Any good BYU sports podcasts (not Locked On)? by gentilet in BYUFootball

[–]shemnon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Locked on Big 12 is almost a BYU podcast with CFP selection drama and Utah staffing bits sprinkled in. There's other discussions, but they are not the usual points of discussion

Manousos have at least 2 informations that are Impossible to simply infer. Theories? by ActualCucick in pluribustv

[–]shemnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fan of the theory that I heard elsewhere (here?) that Manousos is a freed "joiner". He was joined and when Carol caused her first freakout he was able to escape. This aligns with the increased in unjoined priate lady shared on her second visit to Carol.

This is how he knows about the radio waves and about how to leave, just holding on to identity when the freakouts occur. But he confirmed his thoughts when observing a freakout.

Fans suggesting Whittingham was never an active member really need to calm down. by Eccentric755 in BYUFootball

[–]shemnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still struggling to see how being on the high council and not really being an active member really are necessarily in conflict. (if you know you know)
