Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

-Just a friendly heads-up in case you weren't already aware, since it's installed on your common.js: Careless use of ReferenceExpander has caused serious problems. It's [[WP:Miscellany for deletion/User:BrandonXLF/ReferenceExpander|currently at MFD]], and [[User:XOR'easter/sandbox/ReferenceExpander|a large cleanup project]] is underway to repair the citations damaged by the script. I and several other users have !voted that the script be deleted or disabled, and I wouldn't recommend using it at all unless you thoroughly check ''every'' reference it modifies against the previous revision. If you're interested in a more detailed explanation of the script's issues, {{noping|Folly Mox}} has provided an excellent summary at the MFD. —&nbsp;[[User:SamX|SamX]]&nbsp;&#91;[[User talk:SamX#top|talk]]&nbsp;'''·'''&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/SamX|contribs]]&#93; 05:03, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

-can you explain what you meant by ballony?

-:The bit about Shor’s being efficient because of modular exponentiation was baloney. That operation is what makes shores so inefficient in terms of circuit complexity O(n^3). The binary Fourier transform is also not an efficiency. What makes Shor’s efficient is quantum parallelism and constructive/destructive interference. This allows a readout with significant probability of being a multiple of the order of the subgroup. [[User:Jehochman|Jehochman]] <sup>[[User talk:Jehochman|Talk]]</sup> 01:47, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

-::Yes, at first I thought the part about modular exponentiation made sense if you're looking at the slightly modified version using phase estimation, but yes it is ballony.
-::I also am not sure why you felt changing my edit of exponential back to sub-exponential? I really think the definition of sub-exponential including things like O(2^(n^k)) for 0 < k < 1 is a bit misleading. There are problems that are complete in EXP-time that take "sub-exponential" time if you use this definition (poly reductions still get you any exponential function) which sounds just wrong!
