Almost, except parking tickets are still typically civil “owner-liability” citations tied to where the car is parked, while red-light violations are intended to target the driver’s conduct

Desperation and relatively high compensation.

Every friend I've ever had work for them was burnt out but stayed because they were too burnt out to look for a new job

Rust was more of a brawl map than the others. Lots of 1v1 fights, but no where close to the playtime of the other two.

If we count the Nuketown map on Call of Duty mobile (mobile has over a billion downloads) I would have to say that's the winner, but if not de_dust2 is the king. Mirage would also be pretty up there.

The dashboard is super clean. Easy star. Look forward to more network monitoring features.

Any external device would need to be cheaper and/or perform better than a current gen iPhone/android device onboard. Seems like a limited market. What would the benefits be over a spec'd out mobile pc doing the same thing?

Without the help of LLMs, this would have been much more difficult.

It’s a good example of what someone can accomplish when they understand how to work effectively with them.

Thinking back this feels like an overdue change.

Most importantly still has the error and feels like it'll make it easier to look at.

Nice open source project.

I like the desktop UI and availability of the java api for integrating with other apps, but I'm surprised by the low # of stars.

How saturated is this space?

The fact that them prompting an interviewee to trash talk the DPRK would make them start swearing is pretty funny

Setting this up for claude desktop and cursor was alright. Works well out of the box with little setup, and I like that it attached to my active browser tab. Keep up the good work.

I'd recommend listing what models your app can use somewhere on the site and if it varies by tiers.

If you're only supporting one model definitely expanding to at least a few options would be a good idea if you plan on continuing the project.

Best of luck, you've got some fierce competition in this space!

This is a surprisingly useful base project for AI presentation handling where you can be hands free pointing out various details or be typing simultaneously.

Hope you keep working on the project. Different cursor settings for size, shape, and color would be nice.

I used to do that too!! I wasn't malicious enough to do anything with them so I would just login to random accounts and poke around and occasionally show my friends by logging into the accounts of people we knew.

From what I can tell you're right, it's essentially a web front end made to compete with ChatGPT's desktop app.

The only real benefit is the hotkey (ctrl + alt + space) for starting a new prompt when the window is closed, but still running in the background.

Looks like they've also enabled advanced voice mode on the windows desktop app.

Does not support search for anyone wondering.

Why compare this to Dippy AI of all things? Looks like a platform/app targeting a different type of AI character consumer. Also I see nothing about Dippy being open source.
