also second the Burren!

People describe me as one the the most extroverted people they know and I find a bar a bit intimidating mostly due to lack of structure.

Have you considered something more structured - like going to Havana Club near central for bachata / salsa lessons followed by a dance social?

Super beginner friendly, you rotate people in lessons so you can socialize with a dance partner and then rotate afterwards. Great to meet people, but also great that after each song / rotation you can gracefully exit.

I found a wonderful community with the social dance scene - after a while you’ll see some familiar faces.

As for socializing with strangers with while having anxiety - I recommend almost having some “questions” in your back pocket that you can ask them to break the ice.

You may consider using Composer by MosaicML.

It has features like automatically calculating batch size to prevent CUDA out of memory errors and early stopping.

The library uses a simple Trainer with customizable callbacks to modify any part of the training loop.
