Please take my endorsement of your criticism.

its paywalled; tldr?

It seems neat! Not sure, though, how much better it is than a whistle or noise maker, given its range. It does make noise when activated, so maybe the BLE can be used when the sound isn't as useful.

Signal range

• BLE range: typically 10-30 meters indoors, further outdoors, limited by rubble and building materials.

Maybe what you're claiming is true, I don't know whether is 'probable'.

I poked fun at this before, but I don't think it came across. If I'm not mistaken, millennials were the subject of a lot of boomer complaints about "kids these days", being called lazy or entitled etc..

Maybe zoomers are dumber, maybe they're full of microplastics and entitlement. Or maybe this thread is an example of the "chastise the next generation" history repeating. One generation is lumped together and shat on by older generations, some of which then make similar claims about the next generation(s) all backed up with nothing but anecdotes and confirmation bias.

I'm not trying to take dig at you, but I do want to highlight the similarities between claims like these and when a boomer might've said "I know a millennial who spends more on coffee than I would, so millennials are bad with their money. Millennials, who are bad with their money, cant afford houses. Yet they act entitled to homeownership, and so, they are lazy." It's a claim that assumes something about the integrity and intelligence of a swath of people and ignores the systemic issues that made homeownership hard for many millennials compared to past generations.

Again, maybe you are right, I do not know. I don't think, though, that boomer rhetoric that shat on millennials as a whole was particularly accurate or productive.

I'm sure LLMs can get it right, but if I was going to use a tool for something like that, I'd want one that was more deterministic like the linked tool claims to be.

I agree that regex is an important thing to learn. Not sure any old LLM would do a very good job, and I hope that no tool replaces people actually learning how to write regex.

I'm not sure what you mean about the average person outside the millennial generation not understanding them, though. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think the 'average' person in any generation knows what regex is. Unless there is some reason the average millennial was actually exposed to them and forced to understand them?

As for being doubtful that anyone could understand them aside from a millennial, I assume you're being hyperbolic? Sort of sounds like "Kids these days can never learn what I learned!" (I'm teasing).

Anyway I'm in agreement with you. This thread did remind me of a pretty neat project that, while still requiring domain knowledge, could save some time and be a good learning tool without being as fallible of a crutch as an LLM.

Have not tried it, and am not an experienced developer, so I am curious to your thoughts/criticisms: https://github.com/pemistahl/grex

Are worms like fish in that they're not really a specific category of animal? More like an umbrella term or a broad classification?

Source/examples?

Glass would be very interesting, might actually confuse lidar also.

To me it sounds like depersonalization or derealization

Not a definitive definition, but I take it to mean sort of "checking out" of reality to some degree. Often I associate it with consciously or unconsciously avoiding feeling feelings or thinking about life. It could be seen as sort of a maladaptive or reverse meditation where you process less input from your senses or become less aware of what you're feeling.

Visa at least probably doesn't collect a per transaction surcharge on these transactions right? I mean, they probably do get your data and probably ultimately still cost you money in a round about way.
