[1:43:30][Q&A][:speech]
[1:43:55][@somebody_took_my_name][Q: Nice upgrade of the routine! Just wanted to let you know there is a double PShufB() in the creation of tRaySingle. Which leads me to a question, what do the P and B in PShufB() stand for, position and bit?][:lighting]
[1:44:13][Relieve GridRayCast() of calling PShufB() twice in the creation of tRaySingle][:lighting]

[1:49:34][@miltondts][Q: Hi [@cmuratori Casey], love your show. Lately you seem to be having some problems with your voice (breaking, coughing). Have you considered visiting a speech therapist?][:health]
[1:49:51][@Miblo][Q: Mostly off-topic: Happy 600th Day! The stars have aligned and the Episode Guide[ref
site="Handmade Hero"
page="Episode Guide"
url=https://handmadehero.org/watch#EpisodeGuide] has received an update]
[1:51:03][@pancelor][Q: Could you explain the math and diagram behind why the sign bits are the inverse of the ray's sign again? I showed up halfway through that and I think I'm missing some context][:geometry :lighting]
[1:51:25][Plug(?) "Behind the Curve"][:blackboard :geometry]
[1:56:01][Understanding why the sign of the hit surface normal is the inverse of that of the ray, in infinite planes][:blackboard :geometry]
[1:58:55][Understanding why the sign of the hit surface normal is the inverse of that of the ray, in boxes][:blackboard :geometry]
[2:02:19][@pancelor][But it forms nine quadrants, not four quadrants? I guess we know we're not stuck in between the fake heavens somehow?][:geometry]
[2:02:48][Deterministically knowing which surface we hit when our ray is in the edge octants][:blackboard :geometry]
[2:04:38][@pancelor][But assuming that we know we're in the four corner quadrants, and that the boxes are axis-aligned, then that all makes sense now][:geometry]
[2:04:49][The utility of transforming into an axis-aligned space for hit testing][:blackboard :geometry]
[2:09:32][@stovecat][Is it faster to do the matrix rotation or the dot product, though? I guess there's only one rotation and plenty of dot products][:geometry]
