I own a vinfast theon S and a daybike quantum s1. Living in Vietnam.

prices were 2.6k usd and 1.9 for the quantum. Ranges are 100km and 250km

I will probably never buy a gas bike again. Ranges are not a problem in the city. They are quiet and fast. And I pay almost nothing to charge them.

If I complain about air quality I at least feel like I need to put money into companies that are actively working on solutions. Especially for small bikes it’s a no-brainer to go electric.


Isn't 1.9k a bit high? Or is it a mid/high range bike? I heard in china you can get a escooter for 750$ on road, so I would have thought it would similar in vietnam?

The US has a problem with theft, how is it solved in Vietnam?

The only thing I need to stick to a good sci-fi book is: - have it on my kindle - actually have read a bit. a page is enough. - phone out of the bedroom (the hardest)


Yeah, 100%. Just having something to move around catches the eye. Cheap trick but works - that's why most short videos have subtitles.

I love this idea. Problem is: it competes with "Hey Claude, take this diagram and animate it". The results are different (worse / better in different regards), but you can modify it more to your liking.

Maybe I'm not seeing the exact use case. I was very close to buying the plan (3 usd / m is a steal), but with Claude I can be more specific what I want.


Short videos have subtitles for engagement with those watching without sound (a significant proportion)


it depends, if I want to create and edit graph fast, make sure style is consistent etc. then this suits my needs better.


Awesome idea! I'm trying to use it for a YouTube video.

This graph here has display issues. And the CPU is used waay too much on firefox

``` flowchart TD Step1["*Step 1: POC* (4 weeks)<br/>Vibe code for ONE tenant"]

    Step1 --> Validate & Hire

    Validate["Validation (4 weeks)"]
    Hire["Hire developer (4 weeks)"]

    Validate & Hire --> Spec

    subgraph Spec["**Step 3: Specification** (with dev)"]
        SpecStart["Parallel"] --> UI["UI prototype"]
        SpecStart --> POC["POCs of all parts"]
        SpecStart --> Arch["Architecture + stack"]
        SpecStart --> Infra["Infrastructure"]
        SpecStart --> FullSpec["Full MVP spec"]
        UI & POC & Arch & Infra & FullSpec --> SpecEnd["Done"]
    end
```


Feel you, Im running FF/macos as well and svg aniamtions over CPU/GPU could be a problem. Im planning to address this issue soon


You probably lost the “finish” muscle. That happens when you lack wins for a long time.

Best way to to train yourself to win again. Start, finish, and celebrate a 1h task. Then half day. etc


That is probably one of the causes. I don’t feel comfortable to put in effort into any _thing_. I probably unlearned that.

Finishing small things like cleaning dishes is no problem for me. It gives some sort of gratitude, but most likely not what bigger tasks would give.


This is pretty cool. can imagine it being useful for people thinking to switch to am EV.

the popup for miles/km stays too much on top. it should go away after selecting it once.


Thank you! Good tip, I'll update the miles/km


Do you know of a tool that can generate texts to read based on exactly your level?

I think that was Krashen’s input hypothesis. If I read a text in Vietnamese with more than one unknown word, it’s too much. Exactly one would do it.

Haven’t seen a tool doing that.


It's a numbers game. Sentence complexity within a given novel follows a distribution, and if you keep reading then you'll keep getting some input that is at exactly the right level for you to grow. It's normal to stumble on the exposition at the start of a chapter and then breeze through the dialogue.

I did find it helpful early on to go through web novels with a low 95% coverage vocabulary count, like the Narou stories indexed here: http://wiki.wareya.moe/Narou

Natively is a great resource too. It does Elo-style ranking of novel difficulty: https://learnnatively.com/browse/jpn/?language=jpn&lvl=

I highly recommend real stories over generated text and synthetic exercises, because the key to success is staying engaged long term. Stories are just more fun. Also get yourself a reading setup that minimises the pain of dictionary lookups, because there are going to be a lot of them. ttsu reader + yomitan is excellent.


Is your name Mèo Dài - Longcat in Vietnamese? :)

Cool project! I wonder what commercial use cases come from it. On the My First Million podcast they talked a about a company selling color predictions to brands for multiple six figures. Maybe you can find correlations and predictions in the data one day.


nước đái I use it for all kinds of color generators.


I met the founder of Kraken.io - an image crunching SaaS.

It’s been some years already. Back then he had an office and a couple of developers. Seemed to be doing well. It has probably grown since then.


Somewhat related: who is using MUX successfully?

We connected it with our Rails app (main reason was that we jse inertia-rails and React on the frontend).

With MUX you give it a URL to create videos. That doesn’t work with google drive, so we do some hacks in a background job and click download, then store it in activestorage. Then provide MUX with our url.

API and backend is good. Pricing also cheaper than S3 in most cases. We are not live yet, but it works reliably so far.


I've used it successfully in the past - found it a pretty pleasant experience integrating it into a Django app.
