Who has time for due process these days?
The Vice President of the United States on Twitter:
To say the administration must observe "due process" is to beg the question: what process is due is a function of our resources, the public interest, the status of the accused, the proposed punishment, and so many other factors. To put it in concrete

Modding a Nintendo 3DS is precise, but doable in 2025
I went through the act if installing custom firmware on my New Nintendo 2DS tonight, and I wanted to shout out this guide for being absolutely spectacular. Not only does it have the best step-by-step instructions I think I've ever seen, it even has branches off the main guide for those

Who pays tariffs
Lee Morris of Fstoppers on how tariffs impact him, as someone who wants to make his stuff in the US:

A few recent examples of beautiful, distinct TV cinematography
Instead of posting collections of interesting videos every once in a while, I'm going to try treating them like regular old link posts: here's a video, here's what I think of it or what it made me feel. I learn a lot from videos and just don't

I personally find this argument quite compelling, but I looked up arguments against discontinuing production of the penny and nickel and they basically revolve around fears around prices rounding up more often than down, creating a tax on those who pay with cash. I'm sympathetic to this argument, although I'm not
Pulling myself out of the pit
I'll be honest, I wasn't an iOS veteran engineer when I started work on Quick Reviews at the start of this year. I'm really proud of what I made, I'm happy with how quickly I was able to get it out there, and I'm always

Tariffs, integrity, and chaos
Ben Thompson: American Disruption (emphasis mine):
[T]he most important components for executing a fundamental shift in trade are those that go into building actual factories, or equipment for those factories. In the vast sea of stupidity that are these tariffs this is perhaps the stupidest detail of all: the U.S. is tariffing raw

Meta got tricky with LLM benchmarks
Oh boy, Meta released their latest llama models this weekend (I guess because they leaked, hence the rushed weekend release?), and it benchmarked quite well on LMArena.
