  • Im Bundestag: Union schlägt 200-Euro-Gebühr bei direktem Facharztbesuch vor

    Jump

  • Ich bezweifle, dass zwischen diesen Tarifen tatsächlich 200 Euro pro Monat liegen. Und Facharztbesuche kosten idR nicht 800 Euro, sodass 25% Selbstbeteiligung 200 Euro entsprechen würden… Zumindest hat keiner meiner Facharztbesuche so viel gekostet, und da ich privat versichert bin, sehe ich die Rechnung ja.

    Davon abgesehen gibt es das ja auch bei den gesetzlichen, weshalb die Fachärzte gesetzlich Versicherte ohne Überweisung nicht annehmen, da sie die Kosten sonst nicht abrechnen können. Ein Privatversicherter wird aber in der Regel einen Hausarzt finden; das ist bei gesetzlich Versicherten nicht unbedingt der Fall.

  • Du musst als Arzt möglich viele verschiedene GKV-Patienten haben, die im Abrechnungszeitraum möglichst einmal kommen. Nicht seltener, aber auch nicht öfters. Denn sonst kannst du für eine Erkältung und ein gebrochenes Bein nur eine Erkältung und den Folgetermin abrechnen. Meine ich zumindest.

    Das sorgt natürlich dafür, das nur wenige Ärzte auf dem Land die zahlenmäßig wenigen, aber dafür oft erscheinenden alten Menschen betreuen möchte. Allgemeinmedizin in einer Stadt mit jungem Publikum hingegen...

  • Hautärzte hier sind reine Privatpraxen. Ich meine ich kann es aus deren Sicht schon nachvollziehen. Aber dass der Gesetzgeber sich um so etwas nicht kümmert ist schon schräg

  • Ja, das ist es halt. Vollkommener Blödsinn. Und was ist das auch für eine dumme Strafe? Wenn ich eine Hautkrankheit habe, damit tun Hautarzt gehe, er es behandelt, also der effizienteste Ablauf gewählt wurde, sollen Strafen gezahlt werden?

    Wenn der Vorschlag wäre, bei direktem Besuch, bei dem der Facharzt die Behandlung wegen Nichtzuständigkeit ablehnt, eine Gebühr an die Krankenkasse zu zahlen (200€ kommt mir auch arg hoch gegriffen vor, das sind ja mehrere Facharztbesuche zum Privattarif), könnte man ja noch irgendwie diskutieren. So ist es einfach nur total sinnlos. Aber das ist ja das tolle, den gesetzlich Versicherten kann man es ja zumuten; bei den privaten wird es das nicht geben, auch wenn du mir der Argumentation vollkommen Recht hast. Denn dann müssten die PKVen ja die zusätzlichen Termine beim Hausarzt bezahlen, und das werden die wohl durch Lobbyarbeit zu verhindern wissen. Den GKVen entstehen wahrscheinlich sehr überschaubare Mehrkosten, dadurch, dass mit den Ärzten pro Quartal abgerechnet wird.

  • Webp

    Jump

  • It's not supported by either Chromium or Firefox, which is part of the issue (Google basically decided against it with arguments that are much better suited against WebP, which they pushed some years ago).

    There aren't that many static image codec comparisons, for example there is https://giannirosato.com/blog/post/image-comparison/. https://afontenot.github.io/image-formats-comparison/ doesn't even include WebP because the test suite uses features unsupported by it (YUV 4:4:4). In the ones I do find, WebP usually wins against good JPEG at low bitrates, but loses on high bitrates because of the blurriness issue. They both get beaten by JPEG XL and AVIF. Which one is better probably depends on whom you ask. The before linked comparison prefers JPEG XL by a slim margin, https://tonisagrista.com/blog/2023/jpegxl-vs-avif/ strongly favors JPEG XL.

  • Webp

    Jump

  • Though you couldn't set the bar any lower without it turning into a joke.

    Anyhow, to quote Wikipedia:

    Comparing different encodings (JPEG, x264, and WebP) of a reference image, she stated that the quality of the WebP-encoded result was the worst of the three, mostly because of blurriness on the image. [...] In October 2013, Josh Aas from Mozilla Research published a comprehensive study of current lossy encoding techniques and was not able to conclude that WebP outperformed JPEG by any significant margin

    All while having significantly increased complexity. The blurriness problem was inherited from the video codec webp was based on. When you can't beat an 18 years old format, don't be surprised when people get irritated when you use your position to get it mandated into a standard, while later stalling actual improvements (JPEG XL).

  • Why mortgage rates are actually going up after the Fed cut interest rates

  • There's literally no way this goes tits up

  • Why mortgage rates are actually going up after the Fed cut interest rates

  • Just reminded me of this copypasta:

    Don't even ask the question. The answer is yes, it's priced in. Think Amazon will beat the next earnings? That's already been priced in. You work at the drive thru for Mickey D's and found out that the burgers are made of human meat? Priced in. You think insiders don't already know that? The market is an all powerful, all encompassing being that knows the very inner workings of your subconscious before you were even born. Your very existence was priced in decades ago when the market was valuing Standard Oil's expected future earnings based on population growth that would lead to your birth, what age you would get a car, how many times you would drive your car every week, how many times you take the bus/train, etc. Anything you can think of has already been priced in, even the things you aren't thinking of. You have no original thoughts. Your consciousness is just an illusion, a product of the omniscent market. Free will is a myth. The market sees all, knows all and will be there from the beginning of time until the end of the universe (the market has already priced in the heat death of the universe). So please, before you make a post on wsb asking whether AAPL has priced in earpods 11 sales or whatever, know that it has already been priced in and don't ask such a dumb fucking question again.

  • Also a lot of these jobs aren't what you'd previously think of, which contributed to the miscalculation in the first place. Previously, from my understanding, the BLS assumed a company would eventually hire X people, based on previous averages. However, a lot of new companies are just self-employed gig-economy workers who won't hire.

    Anyhow, I'm European, so my insight into that market is somewhat limited. But the signs are there: more consumers defaulting on debt, resulting in stuff like car repos... It's no coincidence BNPL for small purchases is booming. And with it, so are defaults on them.

    This is why I'm so surprised European leaders are so keen on keeping tariffs low, I expect US sales to plummet significantly, especially for goods from Europe as these are typically either essential anyways, or optional and even without tariffs expensive enough to not be purchased during recession. I mean yeah it's not black and white but you get the point.

    The US is in a position that can't be fixed by monetary policy, lower rates and you create jobs (though in my opinion, most of that money vanishes into speculation nowadays), but then inflation goes up, which continues to be an issue; or do the opposite with opposite effects (jobs go down, inflation slows). I think the latter combined with social programs to soften the blow would be the way to go, but the US has voted for bootstraps instead of helping anyone but the richest.

    I suspect this will be worse than 2008, again with a lot of sub prime debt that has been accrued and can no longer be repaid. Just this time, all the substance is gone.

  • And they said AI wouldn't boost business. Who's laughing now, haters?

    The whole thing is just embarrassing. Anyone with a bit of understanding knew that the technology comes with huge risks (after all, there is no understanding, just the imitation of it). Billions have been poured into a glorified autocomplete in one of the biggest corporate FOMOs I can remember. Nvidia is (as much as I hate them, rightfully) laughing all the way to the bank. Crypto and now this allow them to practically buy Intel - back when AMD bought Ati, people speculated it'd be Intel buying Nvidia! Granted, Intel did their part too, but Nvidia selling cards that will be completely outdated in two years in unthinkable amounts is wild. And the best part is, except for them, everyone else lost money, like not even OpenAI themselves are making any, and this is with Microsoft subsidizing them. Absolutely insane!

  • Kernel: Introduce Multikernel Architecture Support

    Jump

  • Oh, this looks really interesting. You only need dedicated CPU cores, but the rest of the hardware can be shared? Better performance than VMs, including Xen? Still some security benefits due to the isolation between kernels? "zero-down kernel update"?

    This reads phenomenal, even though I understand it's just RFC at this point. Let's see what comes out of it…

  • Merz says criticism of Israel in Germany has become pretext for hatred of Jews

    Jump

  • Merz conflates criticism of Israel's politics (partially backed by the population) with criticism against the country as in a Jewish state per se. You can be pro-Israel and still condemn the genocide in Gaza. Same as you can still be an American patriot and condemn the actions of the Trump admin.

  • Steam ends 32-bit operating system support in 2026

    Jump

  • Pretty sure it's just that Steam will no longer function on 32 bit machines, not that it will no longer be able to launch 32 bit binaries. The latter would make it impossible to run your old games. The fedora proposal would have running 32 bit libraries on 64 bit systems impossible as well, as it included dropping multilib.
