On a side note, how is it like to pursue a graduate degree in China and how does it differ from the USA?

This idea of human goodness being something exceptional to the US also plays a role in USians considering themselves a morally upright "world police".
What kind of specs do you need to run DeepSeek locally? A few months back, I tried using ollama to run some small llama models on my home laptop (Ubuntu with 16GB RAM and a weak Nvidia integrated GPU w/ nouveau drivers) at it was borderline unusable.
The upper atmosphere would probably have less drag, but the lower speed of sound at high altitudes would exacerbate the issues of supersonic flight and require specialized, expensive aircraft. It may become more efficient, but I still see it as mostly a niche market.
I'm no aerospace engineer but supersonic flight, no matter how technologically advanced we become, will always remain incredibly fuel inefficient because of fundamental laws of fluid dynamics. A supersonic aircraft would likely remain a niche market, never replacing our current transonic passenger aircraft. I'm betting the tickets would be prohibitively expensive who isn't in the top 1% or paid for by a government agency.
He died a few days ago, but his funeral was held today. He is well known for his alleged connection to the 2016 Turkish coup attempt. He is well known to have aided in impeding the leftist movements in Turkey and supporting the Islamist AK Parti in taking power and displacing Turkish secularists. His movement has also been alleged to have received funding from the NED as part of the US's "Green Belt" project, an initiative to prop up Islamist anti-communist governments in the Middle East during the Cold War to counteract the influence of the USSR and the Eastern Bloc. He has also been known to pander to Zionists, notably opposing the flotilla delivering aid to besieged Gaza in 2010.
His history and the atrocities linked to him could fill up a book (and there are many books about him), but he's relatively unknown outside of Turkey.
They are not a reliable partner because India is being pragmatic, as in they are acting in their own interests. They are only reliable while it is in their interests; if the situation changes that it becomes less beneficial to India then they will certainly turn on China. Obviously their long-term partnership is not something to gamble on.
I will one day. But first, I need to travel to Pyongyang to use Stalin's giant spoon. My powers will not work without it.
From the footage it seems that his right arm was severely injured too, yet he kept fighting. I have my criticisms of Hamas but Yahya Sinwar and the Al Qassam brigades are brave and based soldiers, unlike the Israeli Diaper Force.
There are pictures of his body posted by the IDF. It is quite charred but I would say it looks similar to Sinwar and it is very likely that he is dead.
The DPRK has built up incredible resistance to economic warfare and is self-sufficient in several areas. The few areas where they are reliant on outside support, mainly oil, is currently a priority for the government and they're making great progress. The rolling blackouts in Pyongyang that were a staple of life post USSR collapse have mostly diminished, for example.
No one will deny that the DPRK and ROK both have powerful militaries. The ROK is more powerful on paper, but the DPRK has several advantages. They have one of the most disciplined armies in the world (which was already a key factor during the Korean war). The tunnel systems near the DMZ make Hamas and Hezbollah's tunnels look like child's play. There is universal arming and weapons training of the entire populace through the Worker-Peasant Red Guards and affiliated organizations, and the citizenry are highly ideologically motivated and educated. This means that if the DPRK government even were to collapse, the US would have to fight off an insurgency much larger and better organized than the one in Iraq. Not to mention that the ROK's economy and military is completely reliant on the US and an American pullout would lead to a rapid takeover. Oh, and the DPRK has nukes.

I've never had problems with Temu. It's good for buying little tech trinkets or clothing for cheap.
