This depends on your exact definition of an FHE computation. You could imagine a definition under which you can consider the whole scheme a single Turing complete FHE. But this definition would have to accept that the FHE computation is unbounded and leaks computation length (as would any Turing complete scheme).

I don't like the name "termination oracle", it sound too much like "halting oracle" which is not what is going on here. All we do is add an outer while-loop, a simple algorithmic transformation. I wouldn't even consider that an oracle.

I say 32KB, but the actual usable space was more like 20KB, due to things like 4KB for a screen buffer if you went graphics mode rather than text mode, which I did for some things and needed to do if ever actually graphing, however much if you used lists or matrices, &c. Anyway, I kept writing programs (sometimes games, sometimes useful things like automating the techniques we learned, such as a surd simplifier or a quadratic solver or a prime checker), so every so often I’d run out of space and rename a multi-letter program down to one letter to save a few bytes, or comb through a program to find ways of saving a few more bytes. I certainly spent many hours coming up with clever ways of saving single bytes. It was good fun. Even sold a few programs to other students for a few dollars if they had the necessary transfer cable. Occasionally I’d regretfully delete a program if it was no longer pulling its weight.

I definitely never tried a ray caster or anything that complex. I can imagine that taking literally hours to render a single frame, if I even coded it right.

I kept my calculator in my pencil case, so I always had it with me in classes. I think all the teachers (definitely not just maths) were pretty much resigned to me using it when I finished my work in their classes (or if I didn’t want to do it and reckoned I could get away with it). Having three elder siblings that would read books or used calculators under the desk certainly helped. One teacher complained volubly about the first couple of us for this very reason (and I was very probably worse than them), but by halfway through my schooling he said to my mother once that he always loved having Morgans in his class. This amused mum greatly. Stockholm syndrome, we decided.

Snapchat is a very different use-case. Snapchat was built on being a sort of anti-social-media. It's all about ephemeral content, and not making it easy for content to be shared widely. TikTok has a lot more going for it in terms of intrinsic properties built around bringing more users into the platform. Snapchat is about having a more low-pressure online presence, TikTok is a "look at me" platform.

TikTok is a lot more analogous to Instagram: where Instagram used filters to allow normal people to create much more appealing photos, TikTok's music licensing allows average users to create videos with a much stronger emotional appeal than they can get on other platforms.

It's worth noting that Kaiser is a nonprofit that is both "payer" (insurance company) and "provider" (hospitals and clinics) in the US - so I would argue that they have exactly the right incentives that you outline - maximize patient outcomes for minimal cost.

I think it’s reasonable to take out a long term loan given current rates.

Surely, there is some percentage where it makes sense. If the loan percentage were -1%, it would obviously be a good idea, right?

Assuming 2% inflation, sitting in cash is like taking out a loan you don’t need out at ~2%, and stuffing the money in a mattress. That’s clearly a bad idea, right?

Current rates are 3%, and the market returns about 7% in the long term. (4-5% inflation-adjusted).

Historically, the only way to get burned reinvesting a loan at these rates was buying at the peak prior to the Great Depression. The market will go up or down over the next year, so averaging the purchase over that time eliminates the timing risk.

I can’t come up with a more risk averse strategy than this that also has positive real returns in expectation. Any suggestions?

> The vast majority of Republican America is like that.

I don't think that's really true. If you take suburbs/exurbs out of the equation (which polling shows turning quickly away from Republicans due to Trump revulsion, though not necessarily into the arms of the Democrats), many Republican strongholds are (a) places where voting patterns fall nearly entirely along racial lines (i.e. the Deep South), and (b) places that have seen a demise in opportunity, like the Rust Belt, where pretty much any young person with talent and ambition gets out as soon as they are able.

You may not see a ton of inequality in some of these "hollowed out" areas, but people certainly know it exists.

> Something is true with index funds that was less true historically, which is the concentration of a few large companies in the largest indexes

> Fact, FAANG make up 10% of the s&p 500 index, tech makes up 20+ %. It's NOT at all averaged out in the way the Bogleheads might think it is.

Why do you fixate on the S&P 500? If you want something more diversified, you can own a piece of all ~3000 publicly traded companies in the US:

You're not wrong, but trying to explain to the layman about all this technical minutiae will cause their eyes to glaze over. So for the average Joe the Plumber the easiest message to get across is "invest in 'index fund' (=S&P 500)".

Internal squamous cell carcinoma originating on an ovary. It never "masqueraded", it was just the kind of thing that causes a person to complain about uterine pain, which in turn causes every doctor they seek help from to apparently turn their brains completely off and blame it on either a UTI or menstruation.

The more detailed misdiagnoses: heavy but otherwise normal periods from enlarged fibroids causing anemia, a UTI, and then a 7x4cm benign dermoid cyst. (A ROMA test prior to surgery came back with an exceptionally low score, which the gyno surgeon assumed excluded cancer as a possibility, and other tumors on an ovary wouldn't get that large in her opinoin. There was no actual proof of it being a dermoid cyst.)

The cancer wasn't detected until lab analysis of the removed ovary and uterus showed it had been completely subsumed by cancer. Even then, after the surgery but before the labs, the surgeon said she thought it was endometriosis based on the scarring, which was actually from the cancer's spread.

The surgery to remove the ovary was considered elective, because the tumor was never considered cancerous until after the surgery. The surgery request was put in between February 23 and 26 to be scheduled ASAP, but insurance stalled on the prior approval until after all elective surgeries here were cancelled due to COVID-19 capacity concerns. (Hospitals never came close to hitting capacity here during the span, and the hospital that eventually did the surgery in June had nearly empty ORs for two weeks prior.)

The imaging in February hadn't shown any of the scarring, or the spots on other organs showing it had spread, that the post-surgery imaging in June revealed.

“It all comes down to browser support. If you can go IE 9+ / Android 3+, inline SVG is better at pretty much everything than icon fonts. If you need the deeper browser support, I feel like an inline SVG fallback would be too big of a pain to be worth it (maintaining a PNG copy, inserting an additional element to display PNG version, hiding SVG element… it’s weighty).”

I cooked rice in a pot for decades, but eventually broke down and bought a rice cooker.

Singapore is a weird place. During the flight, the stewardesses walked around and handed everybody something - I was expecting a wet towel, but in fact it was a card in multiple languages which says "If you are about to bring any amount of drugs into the country, you are going to be executed." Lovely first impression to set the tone.

Other than the omnipresent paranoia, the thing that struck me as the most bizarre is that almost nothing in the country is oriented around children. The fertility rate is basically the lowest in the world, as the way of maintaining the population seems to be simply skimming the top few percent of qualified workers from India, China, and other southeast Asian countries, people who will essentially live at the office until they have made enough money to return home, or simply retire and die alone in the country.

Another strange thing was the way the city is planned - everything is concentrated to a district. For instance, rather than having record shops peppered around the city, there is a the "record shop area", where there are a dozen record shops in a single place. It's like this for lots of things - books, refrigerators, etc.

The food was great though. I'm craving laksa just thinking about it..

> As for people dying due to lack of healthcare and you not counting it, if we're going to attribute the evils of CCP to "communism", why discount deaths attributable to "capitalism" so easily?

Because the deaths aren’t attributable to capitalism. Capitalism has increased longevity all over the world, including in China. In China, it not only made medical advancements available to the Chinese, but China’s recent prosperity (and the consequent improvements in health outcomes) is directly attributable to its slide toward capitalism. By contrast, the policies of mass murder and starvation during the “Great Leap Forward” were a massive regression in Chinese outcomes. Of course, all of this misses the point that even if the outcomes were exactly the same in both countries, a bad outcome due to malice is still morally worse than the same outcome due to incompetence. Failing to provide top notch healthcare to a country’s citizens is a much less grave offense than outright murdering millions of citizens to protect or extend one’s political power. America’s postwar faults aren’t comparable to those of China’s, and while I understand and appreciate your goal of trying to draw attention to America’s own faults, trying to make the comparison with China has the opposite effect. The US is already incomparably better than China, but we shouldn’t settle is the argument you ought to be making, IMO.
