Not exactly. You can own fully automatic “machine guns” here, but you have to purchase an exorbitantly priced tax stamp. There are special triggers you can add to your AR-15 that allow full auto via legal loopholes. But they’re banned on a regular basis after the ATF catches wind. Your best chance at hearing a machine gun sound is at a car meet up where the young hoodlums have aggressive pop tunes (explosions bang and pop out of the exhaust) or at a shooting range that rents out actually fully automatic rifles.

The goalposts are moving, and their speed accelerates all the time.

Someone who bought and expected to make a profit, but reached a point where they hit their stop loss or just wanted to get out the trade at any cost and couldn’t bear to wait longer. Quite possible a redditor who frequents r/wallstreetbets and YOLOed in.

I agree with everyone else who’s commented up to this point. But I’ll say what they’re saying more clearly: it’s a bit too difficult. I love the idea though.

Sounds like they gave it a goal to hit certain benchmarks and just let it have its way with the base Luna model.

The whole “what is art” question has different answers for different people. Yes, for some, music is communication, but when I listen to metal in the gym it’s an adrenaline boost. When I listen to brain.fm, it’s for focus. When I listen to a rap song with an MC that’s great at storytelling, then it’s communication. Sometimes it’s just a utility though. I’ve played music for about 30 years - live, in bands, in my bedroom - played many instruments, written electronic music, made lots of noises. But I’m not always trying to communicate something. In fact I’m sometimes scared I don’t have anything good to say with my music. So I just play it.

The same happened to music when digital music production at home became more accessible. The hard part is separating the wheat from the ever growing larger share of chaff.

Just curious - what is your acceptance criteria for AI?

I wonder if you can find a way to turn the device volume up to max to simulate the unexpected music blasting out and surprising the hell out of the user.

Did you vibe code this? I see people ask all the time “so where are all the vibe coded tools and softwares that are being created by this productivity boost???” Maybe this is one of them and they can begin to see the value. If not, it’s even more impressive.

Great job from what I can tell. I’ve wanted something like this since my early twenties when I realized I had no financial literacy and I thought schools should be required to teach it.

I’ve got a lukewarm IQ, would you mind explaining and example/use case for this?

Yep. You’ve got to have it update the docs. After a few sessions, if I forget to request this, opus starts rehashing the same tasks and finds that they are complete - and sometimes still won’t update those docs unless I ask.

Another tip is to condense the doc files into the minimal required. Sometimes I’ll end up with 5 to 6 floating around in various states of staleness. Condensing to 2-3 and removing completed tasks seems to help a lot

I haven’t tried it on desktop but on mobile, the “infinite” view is quite nice.

I’ve always been told to let electronics and musical instruments slowly warm up in their case after bringing them inside. Supposedly reduces the chances of condensation forming.

You can certainly work on small chunks with an LLM agent. I’ve gotten the best results with 1. Small chunk with tests 2. Refactor/simplify 3. Next small chunk. - I do work on backend and front end at the same time usually but I’ll do a backend pass, then when I need a dopamine hit to keep me focused I’ll get some front end done. So it’s backend steps 1 and 2 repeated until I feel flat, front end steps 1 and 2 until I’m Neuro chemically satisfied then back to backend. YMMV
