I had some friends from 1st-6th grade, then when I went to middle school, I started from scratch. The reason was I moved out of parochial Catholic school to public school. The group off friends I made starting in middle school was a little more durable when I went to college. I still have two friends from college, plus some acquaintances. And now I’m a bit older, so death is a problem for my friendships. My father passed away 10 years ago, and one of his friends had no friends left after losing my father. So I thought, I hope I am not more selective than necessary.

"For the first time, physicists have directly measured the temperature of extremely hot gold particles using a giant X-ray laser—a breakthrough with major implications for engineering spacecraft or nuclear fusion reactors."
and cut the unnecessary parts...
"Physicists have measured the temperature of extremely hot gold particles using a giant X-ray laser."
If you see a horrible horrible title, you can send an email to dang/tomhow asking for a change hn@combinator.com . Bonus imaginary points for a good alternative candidate. Add the URL of the post to ensure they see the same post.
They don't like a very cherry picked sentence. The best options are a small variant of the title or the subtitle. Sometimes they agree and change it.
It's a manual process, so reserve it for horrible cases.
Quiet quitting does not make the position legally vacant, such that the employer knows they need to fill it. The employer has to notice that the employee is not performing, and then replace that employee. Those steps are often harder than you’d think.
They haven’t simply rewritten the existing implementations of X protocols. They threw away the X protocols and devised new ones that don’t cover all the cases.
