The passage around this formula

where the second equality for a Schwarzschild hole follows directly from Hawking’s temperature formula [ 7 ] and S = A/4 $\ell_P^2$ is the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy [ 6 ] . For a solar-mass hole, $\beta$ $\approx$ 1.24 $\times$ 10^{-4}\, $\mathrm s$ and $\ln$ S $\approx$ 177 , giving $t_*$ $\approx$ 3.5\, $\mathrm{ms}$ — an exact evaluation of the stated formulas, illustrative of the scrambling scale and not a claim about any particular measured hole.
