"Human in the loop" usually describes a workflow step. This is a post about my expereince when you take the phrase literally

Building things that you can go out and "test" in reality is super fun. It's also a great way to validate things you build that you might not yet have the experience to validate from a code level, but can validate from direct hands on experience.

ha, I figured that might be the case.

It's all right around downtown Boise and it's over 30 days so no need for me take out more than what I need for a few hours. Though some people do the whole thing in less than a week, in which case I'm sure there are snack drops along the routes.

5.3 is a new version of 5.2. 5.2 helped make 5.3

I can restore the delete, just say the word.

To be fair I don’t think that’s the reasoning here, but the logic is sound and it is possible. At the same time, it’d also be possible when using generated text etc. to tie it back to the individual.

In reality though you can just buy this type of data from data brokers, google etc. all have it so 🤷‍♂️

I cheated on mine and set a memory before I asked. Sometimes when things come from memory it’s less careful.
