00005: Thursday links!

A curated collection of links covering real-time rendering techniques (ReSTIR GI, radiance cascades, deferred adaptive compute shading), machine learning developments (transformer explanations, LLM year-in-review posts), programming language topics (memory-safe C/C++ compiler Fil-C, Pawn language, compiler optimizations), and miscellaneous tech content including demoscene projects, retro computing emulators, and hardware experiments. Notable highlights include discussions on graphics API abstraction, spatial hashing for ray-traced ambient occlusion, and various creative technical projects.
