Nothing against American ingenuity, but when situations like this occur, quality often declines for a time. The process may be replicated from its original source, but the key difference lies in the workers’ experience—something the Chinese have already mastered.
It’s natural for Vercel to have a strong influence on the project. That’s what happens when a framework grows large and fragmented without a defined board, group, or leadership focused on both short- and long-term goals. At least now, with the foundation in place, there are additional voices to help guide the project rather than letting it move entirely in line with Vercel’s direction.
No doubt the industry suffered due to a market downturn, but your continuous posts and attacks worsened the situation for that company. Based on your Reddit activity, it appears to have been driven by a personal vendetta. If they pursue a defamation case, the evidence could strongly work against you. The overwhelming proof he presented of your actions toward the company would be difficult to defend. I honestly can’t understand why anyone would risk their own reputation—and that of their family—for dishonest gain. Most people are civil in such cases, but not everyone is if they conclude that evil was done. Scary situation to be in.

Re:OpenAI dropped the price of o3 by 80% on Tuesday June 10, 2025 @08:23PM (#44242988)
It was only a matter of time considering Deepseek R1’s recent release. OpenAI’s competitor is an open-source product that offers similar quality at a tenth of the cost. Now they’re just trying to prevent customers from leaving.

It’s still too expensive. Their voices are very similar to Disney voices in quality; not surprising since they recently worked with them.

With such a potential backing, their margins are probably going to actors voices and rights; thus why it’s expensive.

Chatterbox an open source free version is very close. Hume ai is a close second and much more affordable. OpenAI tts is also 10x cheaper.

Nice App. Another similar one is You learn ai.

Re:A Critical Look at MCP on Saturday May 10, 2025 @03:31PM (#43948210)
One major obstacle to grasping high-level abstractions and their implementations lies in poorly designed systems or language limitations. At this stage, any human-produced effort—be it documentation, explanations, or naming—should be reviewed by AI. Language models often excel at crafting clearer analogies and selecting more meaningful or intuitive naming conventions than we do. In short, let LLMs handle the documentation.

Nice opinion.
I’m often surprised at how little people understand about politics or the actual state of their own country. So many are quick to accept media narratives without questioning or verifying the facts for themselves.

Now, take that kind of mindset and apply it across the country—that’s how you end up with 40% of the population easily swayed.

But the truth doesn’t bend to emotions.

It took a new political party to uncover years of fraud, waste, and abuse—amounting to over half a billion dollars—and that’s just from auditing a handful of government entities. All the findings? Publicly available online.

Yet somehow, the focus remains on vilifying Trump and criticizing Elon.

Re:Why Ruby on Rails still matters on Saturday February 22, 2025 @10:13AM (#43139651)
I love Ruby. However, based on my readings, Rust, rocket, seems like a compelling choice due to its true parallel processing capabilities, strong typing, and impressive speed. Perhaps the author has yet to explore other technologies outside of Rails.
Big tech is working on a few models that should beat ElevenLabs in terms of pricing and quality. Eventually Deepseek will opensource theirs and cause ElevenLabs to be sold to Disney to stay relevant or something.
I’m wondering if neighboring competitor schools who offer python classes are the reason for the change since more students would actually consider attending a different school due to having a stronger post experience and skills gained.

‘There is no clear cut one thing, I think it is multi-factorial and there are other aspects,’

The title contradicts the answer, which is also vague and lacks specificity. Considering the mass list of advertisements on the page, it’s AI generated for $$$; thus the baity title, imo.

Re:React 19 on Thursday December 05, 2024 @11:32PM (#42336358)
Using both I think it comes down to personal preferences. One learns to appreciate their approaches to the complexity of FE dev. I do think ultimately it comes down to support , tooling and job opportunities. I was an advocate for Vue and now unfortunately I recommend React. Native mobile development is too important to disregard.
Re:React 19 on Thursday December 05, 2024 @11:28PM (#42336338)
Nice opinion. I started with Vue2/3 and now I’m learning react. Vue is designed better but react is further in development and more widely supported. Native mobile performance was the deal breaker. Ultimately you’ll find it easier to get a job using react vs vue.

Re:Svelte 5 Released on Saturday October 19, 2024 @07:55PM (#41891772)
I love Vue. Svelte is great! Unfortunately nothing beats react especially if one plans to develop for mobile. Despite how ugly the nuances in react are compared to those two, it’s still more mature making the other two trying to catch up and feel outdated in terms of features.

Re:Tech jobs have dried up on Friday September 20, 2024 @12:04PM (#41603295)
True. However the future may be different if the government doesn’t make changes. It’s easier and cheaper to now hire off-shore devs than Americans. There goes your pay raises and jobs or competitive salaries.
