biggihs in #hong-kong 4d

I'm also curious about this, I'm looking at coworking spaces on Hong Kong Island, is that maybe not the place to be?

tristant in #thailand 4d

what's a good site to use for finding a 1-month stay at a condo in bangkok/chiang mai? airbnb options seem pretty expensive because of the service fees. any tips for finding a place would be appreciated

jeniapus in #thailand 3d

for a month thats pretty much the only option you have

alexkocch in #thailand 3d

facebook, airbnb or through friends. BKK is getting pretty tough minimum is six months and for the really good towers usually not less than a year. I have an apartment which might can be given away for shorter period, you can hit me up might makes sense for your case

atti1a in #entrepreneurship 3d

interesting, so using traces to codify decision-making and share with broader team. are you getting data sovereignty pushback? and what paywall did you hit?

harentambi in #japan 3d

anyone join the digital nomad meetup in S-Tokyo 17 september?

dkarabey in #entrepreneurship 3d

We’re working on the compliance side before pilots, the paywall is that we haven’t received any funding yet as the idea dawned on us mid July and now we need AI & cloud credits to power the pilots. Also, we’re trying to keep our commitment fulltime and hire a founding engineer to ensure consistent quality so we can convert & expand faster. Because even though we gave strong team no one here is a fullstack dev. 😅

dkarabey in #entrepreneurship 3d

That’s the least of the problems btw but we wanna launch and start pilots as soon as credits & compliance checks are cleared. There’s a catch about the compliance side:
- The pilots will start in Türkiye, so product must comply with KVKK standards.
- Good part is; I know parts of the regulation from heart as I’m a data activist and we’ve been building this solution as privacy-first as it gets from day 1. I also volunteered alongside some lawyers on this subject and made connections I’m planning to activate to audit our approach.

As we’re waiting to hear back from some angels in our network, we keep building towards the launch. We try to keep the initial product as simple as possible as user interviews already killed 2 features we were planning to implement.

If we don’t get an offer we like from angels we’ll keep bootstrapping our efforts well into the pilots and considering using the initial version of our product to launch an AI-native service campaign for management consulting specifically for companies with bottlenecks for bus-factor.

Yes, I have been thinking only about this for the past several weeks. The idea came from a personal pain, that might be why. This June I learned I had MS when I woke up semi paralyzed one day and lost all my freelance clients. After initial treatment I’m fully healed from my paralysis but my business needed this back then, I could’ve handed over my clients to a friend from my field for a couple of months…

dkarabey in #entrepreneurship 3d

I knew better but I didn’t take precautions in time because I really took health for granted lol. You live and you learn, folks.

hatmaserat in #albania 3d

in tirana and prishtina i didn´t need LEK at all.

samuelgregory in #albania 3d

I’m going south. So if anyone has any experience there

tristant in #thailand 3d

Yeah I figured.. did it in Chiang Mai last year. Guess that’s the extra you pay for shorter term

nilskp in #china 3d

Hey all. I'm looking for fellow nomads, who are currently in China, to help me out with some details on an app I'm building. It'll only take a few minutes of your time and I'll be super grateful.

nilskp in #china 3d

Just message me

janakaa in #sri-lanka 3d

sorry but this wording gives the wrong impression. the way Naz worded it gives the right impression "It is a bit more expensive if you aim to match the comfort of Vietnam.". "established" is a keyword. those places as I see it have been operating for a period of time like a decade+ and competition has levelled it out so you get better value for money like the quality of accommodation you get for $x per month. concrete example is Hikkaduwa vs Ahangama (former established, latter not).

the bottom end of living cos is way low if you are willing to live simple.

also unfortunately high import taxes mean many nice things are closer to or more expensive than Europe and the US.

minonomad in #ai-artificial-intelligence 3d

Everyone busy coding hahah

minonomad in #artificial-intelligence 3d

What about you Steve?

qaishw in #entrepreneurship 3d

For the AI & cloud credits, I worked at a VC-backed startup in AI and we were able to get $100K in Google cloud credits to use for cloud and AI models, you can also get similar things from AWS & Azure.

Bootstrapped can get much lower credits, for example I was able to get a client $1K at AWS and can apply again to get up to $5K, I also applied to Cloudflare for some infra stuff and got them $10K for 1 year.

As a start you can apply as bootstrapped and move from there.

dkarabey in #entrepreneurship 3d

We’re not VC backed yet so AWS is out of reach but I signed up for Microsoft for Startups. Most startup programs request a VC referral and I’ve evaluated around 11.

As for Microsoft, it’s nice to work with Azure but the models they’re offering when bootstrapped kinda shook me. Still, we’re not a GPT wrapper so we can work with those. 😅

qaishw in #entrepreneurship 3d

Honestly, I like these credits because of the LLMs they provide, I like to use Cloudflare as cloud infra.

You can apply to AWS as bootstrapped, I went into the process and got accepted! as well to Azure and GCP I guess.

Know that GCP only gives you Gemini models, but AWS gives you a wider range like Anthropic models and more.

If you face any issues or need help feel to ask (not selling anything, just glad to help since I've been there too 🙂)

danielpetrica in #italy 3d

On October 3-4 we organize DevFest Modena: the only DevFest in Emilia-Romagna.
Admission is free.
Five tracks to choose from: cloud & platform engineering, AI agents and dev tools, AI: data
Robotics and society, mobile web and dev experience, growth and tech culture.
From communities to community. A great occasion to meet the local community, network, and grow. Talks are in both Italian and English.
We are GDG Cloud Modena, with Modena.rb, Knowing Linux and many others.
I would love to do a nomad meeting too if anyone is interested during Saturday.

dkarabey in #entrepreneurship 3d

I’ll look into AWS again, I noted it down to be revisited after VC backing on my notebook.

Thanks! 🙏🏻

qaishw in #entrepreneurship 3d

This is a hack I sometimes do, might be useful to someone

If you have many AI credits from multiple places, and maybe you bought directly as API from a provider, you can use openrouter and use the BYOK service, and put all these API keys there, then user openrouter to use all the APIs you have without needing to make your platform linked only to AWS or GCP or Azure or a single provider 😉
But they might take 5% at some threshold

sammyblackstar in #entrepreneurship 3d

Opencode sometimes has good free to use models directly integrated with 1 setting.

janakaa in #entrepreneurship 3d

super ineresting insight! 🙏

jasiek in #poland 3d

ahh tomorrow will be difficult

atti1a in #entrepreneurship 3d

have you thought about just pushing an mvp to the potential uses you've chatted with thus far? don't think compliance is a massive issue early on... they are trusting you. also, you can get a few thousand in credits from gcp/aws by just saying you're a startup. that should get you going..

dkarabey in #entrepreneurship 3d

Yes, they’re mostly personal connections. But the product touches to many data points by nature so we want to make it as compliant as we can before we make it self-service. However, we’ll likely start offering daily AI-native consultancy services soon (maybe even tomorrow) using Animus before waiting for it to become ready to launch to cover our costs and launch with a stronger marketing strategy.

Credits are mostly handed more freely to VC-backed startups but we’ll check again for aws.

dkarabey in #entrepreneurship 3d

We like moving fast & we feel as though VCs and angels are moving too slow.

aurrou in #mexico 3d

Hi! Has anyone been to Sayulita or Puerto Escondido? I’ve never been to Mexico and I’m trying to get a feel for the vibe in each place.

I’m looking for somewhere that feels safe and social. I was recently in Koh Phangan, Thailand, where a lot of the social scene seemed to revolve around either partying or healing activities. I just want a relax place. For example I love Chiang Mai.

Thanks for the reco!

quaid in #thailand 3d

Generally fine. Buses go from UT bus terminal every couple of hours from early morning to mid-afternoon. Takes around 2 hours. If it’s busy at the border and your visa process takes a while the bus will leave without you so you will have to take a taxi into Vientiane. You won’t be the only one so you can arrange to share a taxi with other passengers.
You can also take a train. It’s slower (I think ~3 hours) and has fewer departure options; IIRC there’s one early morning and one late afternoon. You can check baolao or 12go to confirm times. Less chaotic border process. You take a bus or taxi from the arrival station into Vientiane itself. Or take a taxi to the other station if you’re heading straight on to VV or LP

Hey everyone, Im ned from Australia. Soon to start digital nomad in Chiang Mai.
If you're familiar with the place, Id love to donnect to ask a few questions about the city. 🙏

atti1a in #entrepreneurship 2d

they are waiting to see progress. customers/pilots show progress. 9/10 compliance is not what people are waiting for to try a product.

bohdandrozdov in #entrepreneurship 2d

you are worrying about compliance is not a "moving fast"

Well we don’t want it to be perfect as an MVP, we just want it to be decent. The product traces through conversations, emails, meeting notes etc by nature, so…

dkarabey in #entrepreneurship 2d

But it’s good feedback, maybe we can worry about a big chunk of it as the pilots go~

In my experience, Bangkok Christian Hospital and St Louis are amongst the cheapest. However, all of them have either LINE, WhatsApp, or a Facebook account. It will be listed on their website. Draft a nice letter with all the procedure details and send it to all of them.

Try at night IST, when the traffic is less, it might work :)
