[1:28:34][@insobot][Q: Takeover the world, yet anything thing?]
[1:28:57][@frostyninja][Q: Missed a fair few weeks. Can you run through how the :lighting looks now?]
[1:31:05][@mougatron][Q: Do you plan to implement any de-noising on the light?][:lighting]
[1:31:27][@nickito97][Q: Is neon any better?][:isa]
[1:32:04][@miltondts][Q: Given that AVX2 is seven years old, would it help to use it instead of SSE?[ref

[1:33:26][@mougatron][Q: Skylake-X also supports AVX-512][:isa]
[1:34:12][@mougatron][Q: Skylake-X is not server. But it is true that nobody has them[ref
