Will world models compete with realtime rendering? c0de517e.com/027_hallucin...

Seems that a ton of win32 demos have rotten. Lots don't run anymore, and I'm not talking ancient... dx11 stuff. Dunno/don't have time to exactly see why, probably some missing or changed DDLs?

I'm this close to declaring that allowing float == float in C was a mistake.

Watching AppleTV Foundation. Pretty good. Also... pretty clear. Please cinematographers, take note. Stop using film and petzval lenses like you just found out about instagram and lomography. This is how things should look like.

New article! New... technique? Warping baked probes: c0de517e.com/025_cubeproj...

Takes some guts to go on stage at BSC and say "stop playing with... yourself and actually ship products" -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca53... This is something I've been trying to tell many people over the years. Unsuccessfully, for the most part.

New article! Fun with the amazing MeshBlend plugin -> c0de517e.com/024_meshblen...

Debut of the "links" feature on my blog! c0de517e.com/LINKS/00000.... (story here: c0de517e.com/JOURNAL/log_...)

Day 1 is done! enginearchitecture.org

See you next week! enginearchitecture.org/2025.htm (Please share!)

If you know, you know...

My bugs are your gain! I had to improve c0de517e.com/020_imgpeek.... to figure out some texture compression issues today.

Very nice work on reversing various HW mipmap logic pema.dev/2025/05/09/m...

Definitely the most effective president in the history of US presidents. In just 100 days managed to bring Canadian's liberal party from sure defeat to astonishing win. So much win! Thank you Donald!

A new article appears. Also remember, REAC '25 is only 6 weeks away! c0de517e.com/021_taxonomy...

Nvidia claims to have invented the GPU. Meanwhile, in 1970...

A kind of magic. Modern PC -> emulator (86box) -> Norton Commander -> USB2RS232 -> GridCase 1550sx 386 laptop

A self-reflection (and a sort-of guide) on using LLM assist while coding c0de517e.com/JOURNAL/log_...

A new version of ImgPeek, 12 years after my initial release (if a blog post can be called that): c0de517e.com/020_imgpeek.... - if you know of other (good) tools for in-memory/process tracing and visualization, let me know, I love visualizing program behavior.

Wrote some (obvious) stuff about "vibecoding" and LLM-based programming while waiting for my flight. www.c0de517e.com/JOURNAL/log_...

GDC is done... No better time than now to submit for REAC25! Also... it's the last week to do that ;)

Who's this handsome fella? highperformancegraphics.org/2025/program/

REAC 2025 has been announced! Call for submissions is not OPEN! Deadline is March 28th. Our submission process is simple, give it a try! Make a good case for your presentation and see you at REAC! enginearchitecture.org/2025.htm

A new article appears! Finally I had the time to talk about gradient descent :) c0de517e.com/019_autoinig...

Ok, this is the last scraped thing, I promise... c0de517e.com/EXTERNAL/fli...

Done! c0de517e.com/_ompf.htm

FrankenOMPF(/2) lives! c0de517e.com/EXTERNAL/omp... and c0de517e.com/EXTERNAL/omp... - no link yet directly from my blog home, but... have fun!?

Almost done...

In 2024 my top prototyping tools have been Python, Unity, Shadertoy and Blender. I do use my own C++ testbeds, but only if I really need native performance. CToy, Processing and KodeLife are still things I go to, but rarely. Mathematica is no more on the list.

Scrapening part 2 - ompf.org is done, I reconstructed about 300 threads, now moving to ompf2.com which is much bigger/better archived.

Ok, the scrapening has begun. I'll see if I can "resurrect" ompf.org from the wayback machine in a read-only archive on my website...

Found a draft from 2015 on some ideas for the future of realtime rendering. Cute, I think. c0de517e.com/JOURNAL/log_...

"Recollecting the history of offline rendering" graduated to a blog post! c0de517e.com/018_rthistor...

In what might become a holiday tradition - here is my latest dos pack! DOS emulators + an HDD pre-configured w/awesomeness (of dubious legality). Write code (AoC?)! Make games! Play games! Surf the web! Do your taxes... there's nothing you can't do in DOS. c0de517e.com/EXTERNAL/DOS...

This is an amazing talk! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLiw...
