1. Location: Canada's "Arctic Circle branch" - so "rural" even couriers don't want to come: the main campus is in Thunder Bay, a "big countryside" surrounded by lakes and forests. Want to go shopping? The biggest mall can be done in half a day, and food delivery options are roughly "McDonald's or go hungry." Online shopping? Get ready for "Canadian rural logistics speed" - your package might get lost in the snow for three months. The weather is so cold it makes you question life: 6 months of winter a year, with a wind chill of -30°C being the norm. Kids from the south might instantly get a "pain mask" from the cold. Walking on campus feels like filming "Man vs. Wild," and the wind is strong enough to blow you into Lake Superior for a free winter swim. 2. Academics...

Front-line report from our war correspondent On a mysterious dark and windy night (Thunder Bay's New Year's Eve), this newbie was "lured" into the legendary newly-opened TB Texas Hold'em arena. When I heard the professional-grade chips clinking on the velvet tablecloth, I suddenly realized—this is for real! 
Battle update: Engaged in a 4-hour epic noob-fest with fellow newbies: shaky all-ins, chasing flushes with full houses, thinking two pair was a sure win only to get killed by a mysterious river card... In the end, at the cost of half a Mao, I earned the honorary title "Charity Poker King"

[Innovation Points] 1. Pure reinforcement learning driven reasoning improvement: DeepSeek-R1-Zero is the first model trained entirely through large-scale reinforcement learning (RL) without supervised fine-tuning (SFT). Its innovation lies in verifying that pure RL can incentivize large language models (LLMs) to autonomously develop complex reasoning behaviors (such as self-verification, long chain-of-thought generation), breaking the traditional paradigm that relies on SFT. During training, the model naturally exhibits behaviors such as "reflection" and "multilingual mixed solving", and significantly improves performance through RL (e.g., AIME 2024 Pass@1 increased from 15.6% to

• Jerome Powell speaks and decides whether to cut rates or pause hikes. The market currently expects a 97% chance of a pause. • META reports earnings after the close. Due to the impact of DeepSeek, everyone will watch whether capital expenditure guidance slows. • MSFT reports earnings after the close. Focus on capital expenditure guidance and Azure's growth in fiscal 2025. • TSLA reports earnings after the close. Elon said deliveries could grow 20-30% this year. Everyone will watch whether these guidance figures hold, when the $30,000 new car launches, when robotaxis go live in California and Texas, and the energy business.

Fredr1ke2025-01-28 18:36:43 EST·What's newCanadian PAL firearms license sharing series Part 3 [How does a Canadian firearms license affect US visa/PR applications?]
Core conclusions 
Legal firearm ownership itself will not directly lead to visa/PR refusal, but you must ensure there are no violation records. 
The background check in the firearms license application ≠ PR security screening, but it may indirectly increase review efficiency. 
Key risk points: firearm-related criminal records or security concerns. US Impact on US visa applications 1. Non-immigrant visas (tourism/study/work) 
Legal firearm ownership with no criminal record → usually no impact. 
Illegal firearm use, criminal record, or involvement in security threats → high likelihood of refusal. 2. Immigrant visas (green card, etc.) 
Need to clearly explain the legality of firearm ownership (e.g., hunting, sport

DeepSeek has begun restricting registrations outside China, and some users may not receive verification codes in their email; when using DeepSeek, you will increasingly see responses like "Sorry, there are too many people chatting with DeepSeek right now, please try again later." It's currently the Spring Festival holiday in China, and High-Flyer employees in Hangzhou and Beijing have started their vacation.

Micro-cement floors, large-screen TVs everywhere, and stylishly designed light fixtures, paired with relaxing music, instantly put you at ease. The staff were very welcoming, patiently introduced us to the menu, and recommended several signature dishes.

Coco Bay is considered one of the higher-rated Vietnamese restaurants in TB. We ordered the regular Pho, Tom Yum Pho, and stir-fried rice noodles. The portions were huge, and three of us were stuffed. The Tom Yum was quite good, with a strong spicy kick. The stir-fried rice noodles were a bit too sweet, similar to a wet-fried kway teow in China with two extra spoonfuls of sugar. Overall, it was decent, and you can give it a try. Rating: 7/10
