It really is useful.. If you add your favorite places... it will give you pretty good suggestions using the ai wrapper when you travel and it is good at giving joint recommendations for you and your friends.

The basic idea is: 1. signup up 2. add favorite places 3. ai gives suggestions based on favorites.

Show HN: Habit Tracker 3000

I wrote this app, a habit tracker, and I never wrote any code. It was all using claude 3.5 and cursor. v0 for landing pages. Chat gpt for content on landing page. I did it over 12 days an hour or 2 a day but I think I could redo it in about 2 hours.

Probably Orbital composites. The image at the top is from them.

I think the author read atomic habits. Even the story about vietnam is in there.

I recently wrote a langauge app... my approach has been.. 1. start with ear training. (minimal pairs) 2. learn some vocab (anki) 3. then use social media. tik tok specifically.

It does keep a list of countries you got wrong and you can go through them again.

I have tried to get this to work. The problem has to do with the material UI Select component used. I think the problem is that the return key is already used to select an item from the select.

That is correct. It is a feature. It is a challenge how to make it more clear to the user.

That is correct about the green colors work. Most of the maps are from wikipedia and that's how they do show contested areas in light green. I think I will change them though to another source because it is confusing.

I made this map game. react, material ui, hosted on vercel cdn, no back end.

I agree... the speculation is becoming less on the market and more on whether these companies can execute. Everyione knows it's in their long term interest to make EVs.

In the near term (1-3 years), no role in a traditional oems has incentives to make evs.

dealers make money from maintenance. evs have less maintence.

car salesmen are trained to negotiate, not educate consumers about evs.

factory workers/unions: evs require less factory workers.

many engineers have the wrong skills for evs.

executives also have the wrong skills. they are trained to negotiate with suppliers and focus on core competency. core competency changes from manufacturing engines to battery and electric drive train. innovation may require insourcing if suppliers fail.

investors want dividends and not to speculate on evs.

imho, it makes more sense for startups and tech companies to make evs.
