    Bare C++ Tutorial for Building a Software Renderer

    The article presents a step-by-step series on how modern 3D graphics APIs work by implementing a simplified software renderer from scratch in about 500 lines of bare C++. It uses no third-party graphics libraries and starts from basic pixel drawing and TGA image handling to render triangulated 3D models. The goal is educational, helping learners understand the fundamentals behind OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, and DirectX.

    transcribe.cpp launches as a ggml-based speech-to-text library

    transcribe.cpp is a new v0.1.0 transcription library built on ggml, aiming to support a wide range of modern speech-to-text models with GPU acceleration. The author says each model is numerically validated and WER-tested against reference implementations, and the project includes bindings for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Rust, and Swift/ObjC.

    Guide to learning graphics programming

    The post outlines a practical path for becoming hireable as a graphics programmer, splitting the role into CPU-side engine work and GPU-side rendering work. It recommends learning modern graphics APIs, path tracing, and physically based rendering, and suggests building a small real-time project as proof of skill.
