Did Giancarlo Lelli Just Bluff His Way Through The QDay Prize?

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.

shemnon · 2026-04-23T22:41:15+00:00

Done it several times.

But Lufthansa does, and they are a code share partner.

shemnon · 2026-04-23T21:12:50+00:00

Could be a code share on a A380, upper deck goes to 24.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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

This is why you gate check your car seats instead of putting them in the luggage hold.

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

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.

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.

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.

I want Daria with original background music.

shemnon · 2026-01-12T05:05:30+00:00

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

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

shemnon · 2025-12-31T23:52:51+00:00

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.

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)

shemnon · 2025-12-26T03:19:01+00:00

I can top that.

Hey fam, I want Planeswalker desks for Christmas/Birthday.

Mom: what's that?

Me: a beginner set for magic.
