[1:19][Recap and set the stage for the day, initially fixing a bug in assigning light probe indices][:"entity system" :lighting :speech]
[5:07][Hit our assertion in AssignIndices()][:"entity system" :lighting :run]
[9:45][Add a "conditional break point" in AssignIndices() and RemoveIndices() when the LightProbeIndex is 101][:"entity system" :lighting]
[11:59][Break in to AssignIndices() and RemoveIndices() for LightProbeIndex 101][:"entity system" :lighting :run]
[15:58][Scrutinise EnsureRegionIsUnpacked()][:"entity system" :lighting :research]
[16:59][Add an assertion in EnsureRegionIsUnpacked() that LightProbeIndex is 0][:"entity system" :lighting]
[17:13][Break in to AssignIndices() for LightProbeIndex 101, and fail to hit our new assertion in EnsureRegionIsUnpacked()][:"entity system" :lighting :run]
[18:34][Add an assertion in AcquireUnpackedEntitySlot() that LightProbeIndex is 0][:"entity system" :lighting]
[19:26][Break in to AssignIndices() for LightProbeIndex 101, and successfully hit our new assertion in AcquireUnpackedEntitySlot()][:"entity system" :lighting :run]
[20:39][Realise that we never clear the Entity data when removing from unpacked][:"entity system" :lighting :research]
[21:54][Fix EnsureRegionIsUnpacked() to clear stale data when unpacking entities][:"entity system"]
[22:52][Hit our assertion in AcquireUnpackedEntitySlot()][:"entity system" :lighting :run]
[23:12][Remove our assertion from AcquireUnpackedEntitySlot()][:"entity system" :lighting]
[23:29][We have solved that light probe index assigning bug][:"entity system" :lighting :run]
[23:49][Make UpdateAndRenderEntities() colour the light probes by their index][:"debug visualisation" :lighting]
[24:29][Our light probes remain stably indexed][:"entity system" :lighting :run]

[28:04][Augment game_render_commands with a LightProbePosition buffer, introducing SetLightProbePosition() for UpdateAndRenderEntities() to call][:"data structure" :"entity system" :lighting]
[32:30][Implement SetLightProbePosition()][:"entity system" :lighting]
[38:00][Wonder if we should treat light probes as points and directions, rather than cubes][:lighting :speech]
[38:38][Introduce light_probe_irradiance for game_render_commands and open_gl to contain][:"data structure" :lighting]
[40:11][Consider converting the light_probe_spatial_index to use our voxel][:"data structure" :lighting :research]
[41:13][Crash in SetLightProbePosition()][:lighting :run]

[1:58:13][@Longboolean][@cmuratori Would you want to do a debug ~Milton stream?]

[2:01:01][@Nick12][Q: If you had to draw text in Arabic, Chinese, Korean, etc in a game, how would you do text shaping?][:font]
[2:02:12][@xxthebigfoxx][Q: Would it make sense to store the whole cube of voxels as six 3D textures, one for each direction, and then use hardware trilinear filtering?][:lighting :sampling]
[2:04:32][@4bitlightning][Q: Would you overestimate side F on the cube map?][:lighting :sampling]
