Talk: Who is the 3rd popular girl?

Emilia and Rem are definitely 1st and 2nd (dk their own ranking, that is, who is more popular)

But who is the 3rd popular?

Beatrice? Shaula? Ram? Echidna? else?

I'm not asking about your waifu. asking about statistic.

CMV: Jesus is not the greatest of all time of human history. His global influence is heavily dependent on the West's hegemony over the past 300 years.

Many people tend to say Jesus when they're asked to pick #1 GOAT.

Why is Jesus considered to be more influential than Muhammad, Isaac Newton, Buddha, Karl Marx, or Confucius? I have no clue.

In contemporary China, Japan, or North Korea(not a joke), their citizens either have no interest in at all or are opposed to Jesus and Christianity. But even in these countries, Newtonian mechanics is taught in their institutional education system.

The only underlying difference which distinguish Jesus and other figures is the Western material and military hegemony over the past 300 years. And this dominance came from science, engineering, and technology.

I'll change my view if you prove at least one of the following statements:

  • Jesus's influence isn't based on the Western material and military hegemony over the past 300 years. Show me how Christianity could have achieved this level of global penetration without it.
  • Jesus is irreplaceable, while Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are replaceable from the perspective of the history of science.
  • Even if Jesus's global impact was a byproduct of the hegemony, convince me why that historical cause shouldn't matter in the GOAT debate.

The proposition Isaac Newton himself was a religious believer can't change my take.

The proposition Jesus was influential already before the 17th century can't change my take, because that applies to other figures.

TypeScript isn't perfect, but what criticisms are most silly you've heard?

Someone use TS in a bad way, while others criticize JS.

EDIT: To be fair, and what criticisms are valid?

How can this youtuber generate a city entirely? [Question/Discussion]

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?

Before machine learning era, how could search engines show images which fitting a query?

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.
