litigatoron Doctors are finally learning to manage antidepressant withdrawal

Have you looked into mirtazapine (tetra cyclic), vortioxetine (serotonin modulator) or atomoxetine (SNDRI). Atomoxetine has been a god send for me.

litigatoron Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5

The UK alone produces 15% of the parts required to assemble the F35. Around 25% of the jet is manufactured/produced by the other partners of the program.

Heck the F35B only exists due to the UK demanding it. They have access to the source code (and so do Israel).

No. If everyone (or browser installs) had identical fingerprints... Good luck deanonymising them.

litigatoron India has surpassed Japan to become the fourth-largest economy

Considering India's' military procurement, nominal is more meaningful if they fancied invading Japan.

edit: ah, i should have read the article, it is nominal.

litigatoron Prozac 'no better than placebo' for treating children with depression, experts

During my first manic episode I was handed sertraline. This pushed the mania full send and I lost a lot of time that I can't account for, things I did I can't remember but friends have recalled. Climbing the house to get in through the upstairs window whilst having the house key on me. Locking myself in my room for a week or two convinced I was the real world John Connor and Arnie was looking for me. Blowing all my savings on cocaine for me and anybody in my vicinity in a month. Going through a gram of mdma more than once in a night. Feeling like I was on a therapeutic dose of MDMA for a few months and thinking this was what SSRIs were meant to feel like. The list goes on.

I will admit I was semi cognizant of the distorted thinking/reality so played it down when talking to the psychiatrist I was urgently (+2 months into it) referred to for early psychosis intervention. I was eventually handed a dozen valium (which the doctor was incredibly hesitant to prescribe, for good reasons) which let me sleep and the mania lifted.

I'm terrified of SSRIs now. I have been diagnosed bipolar for a few years now (went private because in the UK unless you're a danger you're ignored). This week was the first session with a clinical psychologist in a bipolar group. Unsurprisingly almost everyone had a similar experience with SSRIs.

I'm speculating here but I'm pretty sure if you did an MRI on my brain you'd see lesions from the mixing of mdma and sertraline (I get myoclonic jerks to this day).

litigatoron The impact of competition and DeepSeek on Nvidia

Check out Anthonix on Twitter. He's already done what George Hotz is trying to do and he did it months ago. He's moved on from the RX 7900 XTX to MI300X and is setting some records. He had to write the majority of the code by himself but kept some of ROCm he deemed fit. He is always stirring George up when he has his AMD tantrums. Seriously though, how bad are AMD engineers if one person in their free time can make a custom stack that out performs ROCm.
