Minimal D3D11 bonus material: pixel art antialiasing

A minimal Direct3D 11 implementation of "antialiased point sampling", useful for smooth fractional movement and non-integer scaling of pixel art AKA "fat pixel" aesthetics.

Also view below side-by-side point sampling comparison on YouTube (video is zoomed in to counter implicit downsampling & compression artifacts and make aa effect more apparent) or check out the original Shadertoy.

The actual sampler is set to bilinear filtering (the default D3D11 sampler state) in order to utilize single texture-read hardware interpolation, then emulating point sampling in the shader and applying AA at the fat pixel boundaries. Use with premultiplied alpha textures* and keep a one pixel transparent border around

BMW CIC & Combox USB Firmware Updates

Officially titled: BMW Software Update for External Devices – Multimedia and Telephone

ℹ️ About This Guide:

• I am not pro at any of this. I started to search for information how to update vehicle's multimedia because of my own Bluetooth issue.
• As BMW no longer provided software updates on their main site at that time, the task was to find is it still possible to get them.
• After long searches I managed to solve my issue successfully and decided to put everything I found in one place.

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

LLM Wiki

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.

This is an idea file, it is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode / Pi, or etc.). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.

The core idea

Most people's experience with LLMs and documents looks like RAG: you upload a collection of files, the LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and generates an answer. This works, but the LLM is rediscovering knowledge from scratch on every question. There's no accumulation. Ask a subtle question that requires synthesizing five documents, and the LLM has to find and piece together the relevant fragments every time. Nothing is built up. NotebookLM, ChatGPT file uploads, and most RAG systems work this way.
