Can someone ask claude to write a deep dive on how compaction works and why it’s so slow? (I still can’t fathom why they wouldn’t just add a user message “compact the conversation we’ve just had”
- making new friends does take a massive amount of time, not just in finding friends but also in spending time with them until you can call them long-time friends
- so you need to invest time in hanging out with people! Even when you don’t know what to say to them or when it’s awkward or when you’re not sure if you like them much. We weren’t picky when we were kids making friends, we just hung out a lot with whoever wanted to hang out
- this also means make yourself available. Romantic partners, new jobs, as well as kids basically destroy your free time, but lots of it is self inflicted. Make sure you don’t seclude yourself and prioritize hanging out with people
- also, it’s a number game, you should meet a lot of people if you want to eventually have a strong group of friends
- one trick is to organize a house party or some gathering once a week, on the same day, and invite everyone you know, and ask them to invite more people as well
- make sure you also spend time doing nothing with friends. Like watching tv and sitting on the couch. That’s how you used to create friendships as a kid, you just “hang”, you didn’t “go to the restaurant and went home afterwards”
idk about a house party once a week, but I do like the idea of having my friends invite their other friends. As I age, it becomes harder to find new friends just by happenstance. Friends of Friends usually end up becoming friends after meeting them.
It doesn't have to be a whole-ass house party, but a good low effort method is picking a tv series, putting out some snacks and watching an episode at the same time every week with an open door policy.
I have a MAD I got online as well and the experience is a bit subpar, lots of parts broke (the bands) and I can’t easily get replacements parts. My MAD also broke, and I can’t replace it easily (they sent me a new one but it doesn’t fit). They also are not testing me to see if there’s any difference (I think it works because I wake up less, and definitely wake up less to pee). Figuring out what band to use is also a esoteric process. It’s amazing that this exists besides a CPAP but we are really beta testers at this point. Oh and I learned later that they don’t replace your retainers
The cool thing about noq (and Quinn, where we inherited this from), is that you can implement your own "Session" trait. So that can be either TLS or nQUIC.
