Prepare to be downvoted to oblivion. HN is a leftist echo chamber. If you question vaccines, climate change, systemic racism, or the trans ideology, your voice will not be heard.
What you said is equivalent to "they are more effective at making themselves useless". I can't disagree with you, but I think Americans deserve a useful and competent government.
Yes, and psychiatrists never believed it was "low serotonin" at all, or at least claim to have never believed it.
For ADHD, stimulants actually do treat it by fixing "low dopamine"… in specific areas of the brain. But "low dopamine" is also a description of Parkinson's disease.
But SSRIs don't work like stimulants do; they take a lot more than half an hour to take effect. We don't actually know how SSRIs work in the people where they do work.

Sorry, need to be an anecdote for you. Prozac makes me manic in about 5 hours. We know how SSRIs work, the problem is they are treating a symptom not the cause of depression which is immune dysfunction.
If SSRIs did not increase serotonin there would be no risk of them causing serotonin syndrome, and they do.
"The role of immune dysfunction in BD is currently unclear, with low-grade chronic inflammation (increased plasma cytokines, soluble cytokine receptors, chemokines, acute phase reactants) and T-cell activation features that may be associated with BD, but the results are controversial"
If this is your best citation, then I don't know why you expect everyone to know about and be confident in this theory. And that's without even questioning whether bipolar and depression are the same thing.
Your search results are all over the place and don't show anything coherent.
“It is now well established that dysregu- lation of both the innate and adaptive immune systems occur in depressed patients and hinder favorable prognosis, including antidepressant responses.”
I discovered that Midjourney can’t generate a question mark, and if you use the /describe command and give it a picture of a question mark, it hallucinates.
Vanishing points/ perspective dont seem to be grasped, leaving images constrained to certain view distances from observer as well as viewing angles. (I am not sure if those are the correct technical terms to describe the problem).
the hallucinations is exactly what I enjoy the most about midjourney. If you want a detailed photo of exactly your prompt, I'd probably not use midjourney, but for making weird wonky artistic stuff, it's amazing. Trying to make anything actually visually appealing and artistic with Dall-E and the rest is a pain in the ass.
I understand why you believe that. Plenty of other Australians think likewise (including most of my Australian friends who live overseas).
And yet, in my home state of Victoria, the state premier behind the lockdowns was reelected after covid with a huge majority. It seems like the way the story unfolded for people inside of Victoria was very different to how the story was told everywhere else.
I am trapped inside of Victoria, unfortunately. I wholeheartedly agree with GP poster. We saw visitor bans, curfews, work permits, arrests, rubber bullets and riot gear police deployed as "epidemiological" measures. My respect for police and public service in general went right out the door. Now there is only fear. Biggest regret of my life to settle down here. The huge majority electing the same person only solidifies my view that they may just be the different biological species. The "premier" spared no expense in making the event all about him and only him - just check the Wikipedia page [0].
That's a feat no other leader in any world's jurisdiction even attempted to. I don't know if it is another "red shirts" undertaking or a sycophantic "grass roots" movement - wouldn't be surprised with both, but just don't care at the moment. Seeking an exit of Victoria, but the most likely one for me will be out of existence.
If you think public support validates the "measures", check another example of similar landslide victory - election in Belarus of 1994. That win was as democratic as they get, I am telling you as a first-hand witness. The support was very genuine, for at least a decade to come. As for myself and my family - we feel that we escaped that hellhole only to land in a worse one... where there is no escape from.
Fair enough. It's fully deductible when used to offset capital gains as far as I know.
To offset regular income, it's only $3000 a year but losses can be carried forward (though it stays at the dollar value, no inflation is taken into account).
So often largely deductible with some caveats.
It still seems asinine that bad investments are essentially tax subsidized, but whatever.
This looks like it’s purely about gaming signup metrics for Threads. Make it easy to try, create a huge disincentive to cancel, and suddenly you have a wildly successful, “sticky” app.
Next step "due to incredibly good reception, we are auto-creating a Thread account for anyone signed up in any of our other platforms - saving our users billions of minutes!".
Google+ was a product trying to break into a market where the market didn't really need another product. Threads is obviously looking to take up the mantle for where Twitter is dying, and people are actively looking for a Twitter replacement. So comparing Threads to G+ is just not a good comparison.
I read a horror story on Slashdot about a user losing their Gmail account because of some issue on Google+ and that was it for me. I stayed away. My email account was too precious to risk.
my OpenAI API account got nuked due to a missing organization error when I switched clients one night. I just got an email back from their support... took them 2 months. For reference, ChatGPT API has been out for only 3 months.
I'm saying that FB wouldn't have needed to resort to this lousy strategy if that "alignment" that you mention would have given them enough numbers all by itself.
As such, adding a dying social-media activity ("short" texting) to a fading social-media property (IG) is also less than ideal for Meta the company.
I’m probably shadow banned already.
