Same for me. It was just so full of glitches - UI not responding, refusing to scroll, menu being inaccessible, pages somehow producing looping pop-up dialogs about not being able to render right and blocking the rest of the app...

You are right; the advanced in DeepSeek-R1 used RL almost solely because of the chain-of-thought sequences they were generating and training it on.
I thought that "The Particle Zoo: The Search for the Fundamental Nature of Reality" by Hesketh did an excellent job of explaining without dumbing down to the point of meaninglessness.

My story is about the same as yours. Kovid's arrogance pushed me away.

I don't think it is maintained anymore, but add AtheOS/Syllable to the list.

Are you one of them? I am curious what the experience is like trying to use it as anything like a daily system.

No, an extra ~17 msec of delay is not even close to the cause of this. The speed difference between older and newer UIs is still apparent even at 60 Hz.

In the case of SIAG, probably because the page saw its last update in 2000.

There is SIAG (Scheme in a Grid) that has been around for ages: https://siag.nu/siag/
Re:Ask HN: Do you still miss your RIM BlackBerry? on Tuesday September 14, 2021 @08:09AM (#28523460)
I had a Blackberry Classic. The Android support was kind of garbage - but the physical keyboard was incredibly easy to type on and the trackpad was really helpful, and yes, the thing was built like a tank. I was once out running near some train tracks, had the Blackberry in one hand (I had no pockets and was probably using it for a stopwatch or a map or something), tripped on something, hands went out in front of me... and I broke my fall by slamming the Blackberry right into the steel rail. It was fine.
6LoWPAN has a variant that can use Bluetooth Low Energy (rather than 802.15.4) to carry IPv6. See https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/hardware/bluetooth/bluet... for instance.
