I've been wanting this forever and had been planning to make it with mods, great feature
We recently added idle compaction to Claude Code! It now compacts long idle sessions right before the prompt cache expires (~1h). If you come back to it later, it only has to reprocess the summary instead of the entire conversation, which saves you some usage.

Last night at the party I was bursting with creative energy, too non verbal to socialize, and physically tired. Dance floor was empty. I decided to journal, but instead of words coming out my hand just started dancing to the music

I'm having a single ultracode session try to use my entire weekly claude limit over the weekend and so far it's at 51% used and the session cost is roughly $1,250. That implies that on the $200 plan you get ~$2,450 of inference a week, about $10,780 / month

I got to this by thinking about how meditation is related to status - your relative power over others increases if you're less dependent on them, so more equanimity means *actually higher status*, not just replicating the feeling
I think @Aella_Girl's status lens is basically Emerson's Power Dependence plus a theory of how the power-information propagates (signaling). > A's power over B equals B's dependence on A — how much B wants what A controls, divided by how easily B can get it elsewhere. Opinions?

There's the budhist love meaning something like "wishing someone well", and there's a kind of motherly/romantic love that at the extreme is more like "prioritizing them above everything else". It's more a promise than a feeling.
Say more! Actually I think that if it's truly unconditional then one wouldn't feel bad. It's not I love you so you love me, it's just like I love you, period, no matter what.

If someone is debating whether they love their girlfriend and you tell them "why not, love is free" you're giving them really bad advice because really they're trying to ask themselves whether they're ready to prioritize their gf above other things and you've now confused them

Letting Claude pick and download beat maps based on my weird taste was a HUGE success
Having something reliable and healthy to fall back on when down is such a good feeling. Today that was osu! for me, great game

Behold, I've made a date me website! I'm a bi, poly, novelty-seeking nerd in Berkeley, and the top word my friends use to describe me is "kind". If you think we might be a match, shoot me a message! Likes and shares appreciated 🙏 yoav.date/

In Hebrew, "appreciate", "value", and "estimate" are all the same word
