I know someone who works for a major insurance company in the US, in the appeals department. I don’t know the intimate details of everything about their job, but one thing I always remembered is if you have an expedited appeal (for a medical emergency), and they’re requesting documents that you don’t send within the 72 hour deadline an expedited appeal has, the denial gets an automatic administrative overturn - the appeal is approved. Presumably for liability reasons, combined with that the company gets fined if an expedited appeal takes over 72 hours to process. Potentially a usable strategy if you have an expedited appeal that’s weak enough to have a chance of the denial being upheld in the end, and they’re also requesting documents. Probably a pretty rare combination of factors though.

But I’ve also been told by them that most denials end up being overturned on appeal in the end. And that they see people appealing denials on a daily basis, where they were denied the absolute stupidest reasons - people who obviously should never have been denied in the first place. Hard to say if this means most denials are bullshit, or if it just means people only bother trying to appeal the most obviously bullshit ones.

This seems scammier than buying real estate in space

Honestly most of the posts in this community don’t really fit the community

Would you be nervous if your neighbor installed a gas fireplace?

Well now I would be…

When people say that, they aren’t implying the left are are morally superior. They’re implying the right has double standards. That the right is only interested in holding politicians on the left accountable, while giving politicians on the right free pass to do whatever.

It’s obviously true, and it’s a problem for the left, but it’s a problem of the right.

Welcome to Moe’s!

I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone bring up Dunning-Kruger to comfort someone rather than insult them

I made filters with uBlock Origin that block out from Lemmy (and some other sites) any post containing one of the words “Trump”, “Elon”, “Musk”, “RFK Jr”, “maga”, or “nazi”.

You still stay mostly up-to-date because that shit has a way of filtering through anyways, but you cut out 90% of the redundant fluff. I originally set the filters up in November when I was feeling very similar to how I imagine you felt when you made this post.

I think the screenshot is from their friend’s account, to show us what kinds of games they’ve already played? Wasn’t super clear to me either though

It says you’re bound by “opening and using” the product, rather than “opening or using”. Have someone else open it for you. Then neither of you have done both.

When they plaster that “If everyone reading this donated $x.yz right now, we’d be done within the hour” message I’ll usually donate exactly the amount it says.

Here’s a comparison of part of my homepage with (left) and without (right) the filter active

I’m in firefox + uBlock on lemmy.world too, and it works fine for me - I can see on my current front page 2 posts are being blocked and the rest are showing up. Do you have any other uBlock filters going on? Are you on some page other than the lemmy.world homepage? Are you using the default UI or one of the alternate UIs?

What an insightful post 🙂

The only one of these I’ve updated since the original is the one for Ars Technica, which is now this:

arstechnica.com##:not(:not(head>title:has-text(/Serving the Technologist/))) article:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi|doge|maga/i)

The reason being that ‘Ars Technica’ now appears in the title of articles, while it didn’t originally, which caused the original filter to block out entire articles. ‘Serving the Technologist’ only appears on the homepage so this updated filter will still filter the homepage but display the contents of articles that contain blacklisted words.

Or averages, it seems to be absolute counts each day

Good to know that’s the default. I do definitely see prompts that have “Reject all”, plus some banners that only have “Accept all” and “Cookie settings”, with “Reject all” or “Necessary cookies only” only visible in the cookie settings. Thanks.

I tried out the 8B deepseek and found it pretty underwhelming - the responses were borderline unrelated to the prompts at times. The smallest I had any respectable output with was the 12B model - which I was able to run, at a somewhat usable speed even.

Fair, I didn’t realize that. My GPU is a 1060 6 GB so I won’t be running any significant LLMs on it. This PC is pretty old at this point.

I have 16 GB of RAM and recently tried running local LLM models. Turns out my RAM is a bigger limiting factor than my GPU.

And, yeah, docker’s always taking up 3-4 GB.
