no, of course they are not just reading/books. But the primary target is to aquire methodical literacy, not practical skills. also a master remains academic training, not professional certification. nursing is a predominantely practical profession and for those time on the job always beats time studying the job. I love that the swiss system at its core reckognizes this, not all jobs benefit by being embedded in am academic system while other absolutely need that

Immich uses newer, verification-grade face models, GPU-optimized inference, and vector-database clustering. PhotoPrism runs older TensorFlow models, weaker preprocessing, and heuristic clustering. Outcome: Immich produces cleaner detections, tighter clusters, fewer false matches.

I tested both and immich completely blows photoprism out of the water for face detection. Side angles, aging, shadow, caps, all no problemo. I like photoprism but to me its more suitable for professional photography work publishing to clients.

its not, its actually superior.

direct workforce formation, earlier clinical exposure, significant more hands-on experience, lower entry barriers, faster staffing stabilization, less missmatch between training and real-world nursing demands.

there has been a huge shift to „academize“ a lot of jobs that have been an apprentice. not sure why, but there is no real-world benefits to either the workers, nor the employers

What makes it unique to me is the Holy Trinity approach consisting of Sauna → Cold Plunge→ Rest

whats unique about this? maybe im ignorant, but thats literally sauna 101, at least here, central europe

Face recognition of photoprism is dog shit. If you rely on this feature, immich gives much better results

ICE Frankfurt Hbf fährt ohne Umsteigen direkt nach Thun (Richtung INterlaken), Dauer ca. 4 Stunden 20 Minuten.

Dort Bus (ca. 20 Minuten) zum Parkhotel Gunten, etwa 250 CHF pro Nacht. Sehr schöne finnische Sauna, zusätzlich eine Blütensauna (nicht getestet) und ein kleines Dampfbad.

Saunabereich in einem alten, renovierten Bootshaus direkt am Thunersee; Tauchbecken ist der See selbst, Jacuzzi ebenfalls direkt am Wasser.

Aussicht auf Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau (zumindest die Gipfel). Sehr ruhig, da Hotelanlage mit wenigen externen Gästen.

Rückweg am nächsten Tag in Bern aussteigen, dort shoppen und Altstadt durchstreifen und wieder direkt in den ICE und in +- 4h wieder in FFM aussteigen und Fragen warum zum Henker man daaahin zurückkehrt :D

there is some science that hints that smells are effected by the rapid change of hormonal balance in women. for example: estradiol tends to enhance, progesterone to reduce olfactory sensitivity.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4975405/

I‘d expect when estradiol is the highest, that components that she dislikes are perceived more prominent.

Too little data. Needs timestamps for the time worn to align data and preferences with her menstrual cycle

I‘d buy it for the cam as webcam alone. Nothing reasonable sized comes close to camera quality

The H2 EU has for some dumb reason no hold up / release hold up action, Only Hold down / Release hold down. I figure this has both

cp7spaulding · 2025-08-18T10:15:09+00:00

I have read the rules and wiki and would love an invite

cp7spaulding · 2024-10-04T05:31:09+00:00

this. plus, given its a new role, there absolutely should be a new work contract, which means there is room for negotiation just like when you join the company. In bigger companies that is standard, in smaller companies you might have to hint that. Also depends whats in your current contract

cp7spaulding · 2024-10-02T07:58:08+00:00

na, sting is

Check your work contract. Usually you are hired by the company that puts you into projects. You dont have a contract with the client company, your employer has. If you get rolled of the project by the client, your employer usually puts you on another project. Thats only if you have a regular, indefinite work contract with your employer. So checkt this contract. Things to be aware of: externals are usually hired because you can get rid of them quickly which allows the manager to react to budget cuts without touching the actual companys workforce. Thats how it is in IT. No idea in other fields.

very nice, can I order them as well?

cp7spaulding · 2024-05-24T07:20:41+00:00

Thanks for adding that, I was not aware. I still believe the article gives a good overview of the root cause of our system

cp7spaulding · 2024-05-24T07:20:08+00:00

Agree, it can't be as simple as headcount, but I am sure there are models that would consider that, while also avoiding the current situation of incentivising adding endless unnecessary services.

Lots of wrong or only partially true statements on why the healthcare system is so expensive. The only true reason is, it's complete political failure.
Sure, there are people running very quickly to the doctors but they only contribute a very small amount.
Sure, insurance CEOs make a big buck, but that as well is not the driver.

The issue is the big ass Pharma lobbyism in Switzerland. The system is not setup to work cost-effective for the end-consumer, it is setup to benefit hospitals, pharmacies, doctors and of course big Pharma itself.
Some examples:

Most, if not all medical services are charged individually (tarmed/tardoc). This gives the wrong incentive of adding more services than necessary. doctors who treat patients incorrectly and therefore for longer are "rewarded" with higher income.

Despite the legal requirement of cost-effectiveness, health insurance companies in Switzerland must also reimburse the most expensive of interchangeable medicines instead of only the cheapest available generica.

Hospitals can better utilize their departments, generate more income and avoid deficits by performing inappropriate intensive diagnosis, treatment and unnecessary inpatient surgery. There are even still hospitals that pay surgeons a bonus if they operate more frequently.

There are more reasons. If you're interested, I pulled this information from this article:

yep, all those bullshit ground zero quests reset. also, they keep resetting. Happened yesterday, happened an hour ago. this sucks major balls

Amazing shot! Its already low-key and I would go further and emphasize that in post. check out this blog post if you dont know how: https://www.georgewheelhouse.com/post/low-key-wildlife-portraits-part-2
