Head Down or Elbows Up? Canadians divided whether Carney can deliver a trade deal with Trump
  • Divided? Only the CPC seem to be divided. Everyone else is firmly in favour of elbows up.

    I always thought Conservatives were supposed to be more nationalistic, but it seems they're happy to believe another country's populist. I wish all the wannabe Americans would self-deport, but the US won't take em.

  • Taiwan: Frequent TikTok users more likely to hold pro-China views, survey finds
  • Both. Tencent has snapped up a lot of western IP on the PC side of things and companies like Mihoyo are dominating in mobile. Console is still fairly jp heavy (Sony, Nintendo) as far as I'm aware.

  • Do better, Thrifty Foods! (Victoria)
  • Thank you for the very interesting peak behind the curtain!

    I generally make it a policy to try my best to never be angry at workers who aren't in the top 1% of income distribution. Usually problems like this arise because corporate has bad policies which result in workers unable to adequately address the situation.

  • Do better, Thrifty Foods! (Victoria)
  • It shouldn't be up to the customer to police this. The CFIA needs to be doing a few more spot checks to ensure compliance.

    Although I suppose any fines are effectively going to get passed on to the consumers anyways. :/

  • Half of requests for complex dental work are being rejected under national insurance plan
  • It's been a thinly veiled secret that the dentistry industry in Canada is rife with charlatans recommending and performing unbeneficial procedures. It shouldn't be too surprising that there's going to be an increase in scrutiny on these practices, and that it'll result in a lot of rejected requests.

    I just hope it doesn't end up going too far in the opposite direction, and necessary procedures are cancelled or delayed.

    That said, it also seems like a lot of these rejected claims are from mistakes in the filing process, and these should lessen as providers get acclimated.

  • AI is eating up Pennsylvania's power, governor threatens to pull state from the grid — new plants aren't being built fast enough to keep up with demand
  • AI has been a well established field of computer science for over 50 years. While LLMs are certainly a part of that field, it's technically incorrect to conflate the two.

    Just using "LLM" is also a bit over-specific, however, as it'd exclude text-to-image models, and others. "GenAI" is probably the most correct term to use to refer to the transformer-based deep neural networks that have become popular in the last several years.

    That said, language prescriptivism is rarely effective. So while I agree it's incorrect to call this "AI", good luck getting laypeople to use the correct technical language from a field they mostly have very limited knowledge of.

  • I'm always sad when tomatoes season ends. IMO tomatoes are the singular item with the biggest difference between grocery store and local heirloom ones. It's like night and day.

  • Show HN: FlopperZiro – A DIY open-source Flipper Zero clone
  • I didn't know either, so here you go:

    The Flipper Zero is a portable multi-functional hacking device developed for interaction with access control systems.[1] The device is able to read, copy, and emulate RFID and NFC tags, radio remotes, iButtons, and digital access keys.

  • Never obsolete rule
  • That's a Pentium III Coppermine CPU in there, placing it around 2000 to 2001, so that means it'll be $1,200.

    If you inflation adjust it, judging by current food and housing prices, it's probably closer to $10k. 🙃

    It's a veggie pancake made from a tofu and flour batter, with cabbage and king oyster mushrooms. :3

    Southern style oyster mushies

    I don't normally deep fry food because it's annoying, uses a lot of oil, and not very healthy, but I somehow ended up with 2 lbs of oyster mushrooms and needed something else to do with them. Holy cow was it worth it.

    !

    Found the recipe here.

    Tofu Katsu w/ Golden Curry

    I was going to make pizza on Friday, but I messed up when stretching my dough, and it seized up, so I had to rest it and re-rise, and so change of plans!

    I had left over curry and just made the tofu cutlets by shallow frying in a small pan to minimize oil usage.

    As always, any questions or feedback welcome, and happy to provide recipes if anyone wants them! \_\

    Za #4, Pepperoni Pizza

    I happened across some store bought vegan pepperoni, and decided I'd do one of the most simple pizzas in existance: the NY style pepperoni pizza. It totally wasn't because I was lazy and it takes like almost zero effort.

    My dough caught on the peel as I was shimmying it on to the griddle, so I kinda got this weird teardrop-shaped pizza. Oh well. (:

    There's really just something very comforting about a basic-ass slice like this. It's not fancy or pretentious, just delicious.

    Pizza Friday #3 - Sweet & Savoury

    So I've decided to make pizza every Friday this summer. This is \#3, but I declined to post the first two because they contained a slightly controversial brand plant based meat substitute.

    This one has vegan blue cheese, caramelized onions, button mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, balsamic reduction and pear slices. I meant to add a bit of arugula, but I forgot. A little fresh basil probably would have been good too.

    Oh yeah, I was going to have it last night (y'know, on Friday like I said) but some stuff came up so I had to delay a night.

    Feel free to ask for any recipes or whatever! I generally follow Adam Ragusa's NY style pizza recipe, but he's not vegan so if you don't want to give him additional traffic, I can probably answer any questions you might have.

    If you have any suggestions for my next pizza, I'd love to hear it! \\

    Indian dins! Daal, Aloo Gobi, and Tofu Makahni on Kuska (Biryani) Rice

    I've been learning to cook all sorts of Indian recipes lately. The samosa are store bought, cuz who has time for that. Everything else is made from scratch. I'll probably get around to makeing my own samosas too, some day.

    Will post recipes if anyone is interested. ^^

    NY-ish style pizza

    A riff on the classic NY style pizza. Obviously with all the extra toppings, and a cheddar style "cheese", it's not in any way accurate, but it's what I happened to have on hand.

    Dough & Sauce:

    • Adam Ragusea's NY Style Pizza v2 [Content Warning: recipe is not fully vegan. It contains cow milk.]

    "Cheese":

    • Smoked cheddar style vegan grating block

    Toppings:

    • Red onion, mushroom, vegan sausage, fresh basil
