kitchenkarma··on AMD Ryzen 9 3950X is the fastest processor on Geekbench
It looks like single core performance is still worse than i9 9900K. I wonder how this could look like when overclocked? Sadly my workflow prioritises fast core over multiple cores - audio production. This workflow cannot be made parallel as one plugin depends on the output of another. If plugins can't keep up with filling the buffer you get stuttering. Single core limits you how much processing you can have on a single audio track and multiple cores how many tracks of that processing you can get. It looks like I wouldn't be able to run my chain in realtime on this new AMD even if it had 100 cores.

What's high end about this offering apart from the price?

kitchenkarma··on Evidence of a nocebo response following a nationwide antidepressant drug switch
No license to pay, huge volume plus overcharging the national healthcare provider?
kitchenkarma··on Evidence of a nocebo response following a nationwide antidepressant drug switch
While at the same time doctors say they won't prescribe cannabis for pain, because (they say) there is no evidence it works, when literally a patient says he or she gets their life back, they have no problem dispensing anti-depressants like candies. I just don't buy this reasoning. This profession is corrupt to the core. My very good friend couple of months ago went to her GP because of bullying at work and she came back with a script for Citalopram. I managed to persuade her to not take it and found her a therapist instead. She is happy now and has a new job. I have a feeling that I saved her life.
kitchenkarma··on Evidence of a nocebo response following a nationwide antidepressant drug switch
I had severe depression and I was a victim of such experiments. I lost two years of my life to these drugs and failed suicide two times at the end. What helped me get out of this mess was CBT therapy to change the way I think about things and how to deal with emotions, how to defuse going into the loops of sadness. I didn't need any drugs but doctors insisted it will make me feel better. Yes, I was feeling better initially - actually sometimes I could feel the effects to similar to those of cannabis. But after few months I was getting hallucinations, weird thoughts and sudden urges to kill myself. The doctors response was to change the dose or try different one. I think this should be illegal.

I think this should be investigated.The use of anti-depressants amount to performing medical experiments on people. E.g. Let's see this anti-depressant, then evaluate side-effects, if it doesn't work switch to different one or adjust the dosage. There is no scientific basis to do that. The supposed chemical inbalance is not being measured so the doctors really are giving people random drugs and those drugs are difficult to quit without medical supervision as well. When you quitting you feel so horrible you rather keep taking them. This is a huge money making racket for big pharma and make doctors look like charlatans at the same time casting doubts on medical profession. This only feeds to another camp like anti-vaxx.

I saw some leaked benchmarks today and it doesn't look great. I really hope AMD will kick the Intel (I even have Ryzen 1800x too and will buy the new 16 core one), but I need fastest possible single core performance and by the look of it at best it will be the same. But AMD has other problems like huge DPC latency, which makes it difficult to use for real time computations. If Ryzen happens to have the same single core speed as 5Ghz 9900k and pack 16 cores capable of delivering it each, I'll swap my Intel in no time.

I didn't measure. It is not too hot. I am typically getting 50-65 C under my workloads.

I have one constantly pushing 5.1Ghz (disabled speedstep etc. been stable for months). I bought it because there was no comparable AMD cpu and as far as I know AMD is still behind. Why do you think it is not a proper answer?

I have 9900k binned for 5.1Ghz all core. Absolutely brilliant CPU. I wish there was 16 core version though.

If it doesn't make sense, then it means someone who shouldn't have will make profit.

It is not that simple. There are artists for example who are disabled and it is difficult to do concerts, but I agree with you. Just wanted to point that out as some people think of artists as dancing monkeys and not humans like everyone else.
kitchenkarma··on Google confirms Play store will continue to function for existing Huawei phones
Basically an owner is who can make key decisions about the "thing" in question. If US government can dictate Google what to do, then Google is partially government owned (Government shares profits and participate in decision making by enacting legislation). Then same is with Huawei.

This. I can't update Android in my phone, because I'll lose ability to record calls. But I can't even turn off the popup to perform Software Update! I should at least be able to snooze these reminders forever.
