I swear it's not a promotion.

He/she rendered a city entirely and photorealistically, I'm not sure but the city in the video seems to be one of cities in real world.

Generating an extremely high quality city procedurally, shown in the video from scratch, would be infeasible. My bet is, the creator either (1) handcrafted most of it, (2) used photogrammetry or 3D Gaussian Splatting, or (3) generated it procedurally but from GIS/OpenStreetMap data.

What's your thoughts?

My guess is to identify filename and article name, and ranked by user preferences. But are there better approaches?

Some people say that you need not necessarily be good at playing chess, yeah it's true but I think a bit of experience help you understand some chess programming terminology better.

For example, I was struggling to get a idea for "principal variation search", because the word "variation" is very counterintuitive and not self-explanatory (at least for me, at that time). Later, while actually playing chess and learning opening theory, I came to understand what principal variation means.

The good news is that you still don't even need a beginner Elo to better understand chess programming concepts. However, there is a gap between knowing entirely nothing about human chess and else.

states and even cities in us are likely more famous than some countries to foreigners. I've always wondered if Americans remember the locations of all those states.

For me, mcmc.

I'd love to hear what's your personal opinion!
