> what exactly are you imagining would be a useful-enough signal in the OpenRouter request+response stream, that any company would want their data as training material? Isn't this a treasure trove for any model distillation effort?

That said, the KV cache is very much not stateless, so internally inference APIs will be highly incentivized to route requests to instances with as much a shared prefix cached as possible.

> I'm responding to the question about why you might split SSIDs. SSIDs don't have anything to do with frequency necessarily, morso network segregation. Sure, I was only talking about splitting by bands as I thought that's

by lxgr 5mo ago
The 30 SSIDs your device can see are bad, but what might be even worse are the many non-802.11 devices on 2.4 GHz that are invisible to a simple SSID scanner and don't share bandwidth fairly with 802.11 CSMA/CA. (This includes Blu

Can’t one SSID support different WPA versions across APs? I’m pretty sure all my devices just shrugged and connected when I downgraded my (single AP) SSID from WPA3/2 to 2 only and back up to 3/2. Which is a bit sad, but also seem

These are all not splits by frequency, though.

If you don't need it, of course, you might as well deactivate it. But if you do, I don't see the point of having two different SSIDs if you don't need them for another reason anyway.

This used to be pretty common on at least Linux and Android clients some years ago. Not sure if they finally got around to making the BSSID selection algorithm a bit smarter or whether all my access points just support active steering at th

That table doesn't seem quite right: - Is a Thunderbolt 4 certified cable really not allowed to support 240W, i.e., does it have to be restricted to 100W? - "Minimum of 15W" is a Thunderbolt laptop/device port property,

"No chargebacks" means you'll have a very hard time attracting new customers, though, as bootstrapping trust is much harder that way.

Genuinely not recognizing a charge is not fraud, as that to me requires intent (or at least gross negligence, e.g., something like "I'll just dispute everything I don't remember, and not make a particularly good effort to rem

Banks can (and often do) outsource chargebacks to their processor or another third party, but never the card network (since that’ll be the entity ruling on the case in the very unlikely case it goes into arbitration). Viseca seems like it m

It’s supposed to be the same in the US, but due to heavy automation on both sides, the “evidence” presented on either side is essentially pages of rasterized TIFF slop propping up a handful of bits of ground truth data. I suspect most decis

What do you mean by card company? The cardholder’s contractual relationship is always with the card issuer, which is usually a bank or some other financial institution. This is no different in the US. If something on your bill seems off, yo

by lxgr 5mo ago
That’s completely false. Visa/Mastercard chargeback rules are fairly uniform globally, and disputes are possible in many (if not all) non-US countries as well. Whether your bank knows how to use them well to represent your interests is

The update with the final amount happens within minutes after you’re done pumping, not only at batch clearing time. This was introduced to not unnecessarily block debit card funds for days but it works like that for credit cards as well now

Sure, but most retail shareholders don’t make use of that right, and it’s severely diluted compared to preferred shares to boot. That’s what I mean: Many things can be used in very different ways. These incentives usually matter more than t

If governments want to do these things, they already can. Phone numbers are KYCed in many countries, for example, and many messengers mandatorily require them. The lack of an interoperable key standard isn’t stopping them. (In fact, it’s ev

"I don't want to consider possibly living in a world in which this might be true" is definitely a specific genre of downvote.

Or maybe we should somewhat regulate the stock market, require identification of traders, have a regulatory body that can retroactively investigate suspicious trade patterns and determine the identity of who's behind them?
