<p>On the flip side, i had some pain in my chest... RUQ (right upper quadrant for those medical folk).<p>On the way to the hospital, ChatGPT was pretty confident it was a issue with my gallbladder due to me having a fatty meal for lunch (but it was delicious).<p>After an extended wait time to be seen, they didnt ask about anything like that, and at the end they were like anything else to add, added it in about ChatGPT / Gallbladder... discharged 5 minutes later with suspicion of Gallbladder as they couldnt do anything that night.<p>Over the next few weeks, got test after test after test, to try and figure out whats going on. MRI. CT. Ultrasound etc.etc. they all came back negative for the gallbladder.<p>ChatGPT was persistant. It said to get a HIDA scan, a more specialised scan. My GP was a bit reluctant but agreed. Got it, and was diagnosed with a hyperkinetic gallbladder. It is still unrecognised as an issue, but mostly accepted. So much so my surgeon initally said that it wasnt a thing (then after doing research about it, says it is a thing)... and a gastroentologist also said it wasnt a thing.<p>Had it taken out a few weeks ago, and it was chroically inflammed. Which means the removal was the correct path to go down.<p>It just sucks that your wife was on the other end of things.</p>

<p>The other thing is that this is supposed to sit in between 3d rendering and compositing with regards to VFX<p>The 3D render, in an ideal world, is super smooth without imperfections.<p>The compositing, would take the denoised 3d render, and add other imperfections such as film grain, bloom, and other post effects.</p>

<p>I have been working in the CG / 3D industry for quite some time... when i first started about 15 years ago... Maya was the default... everyone knew it, it was THE default. That being said we have been on blender since 2.5 days.<p>I was talking to someone on the weekend, and found out they were studying animation... i was like oh so youre using Maya? they were like whats maya?<p>There has been a massive shift. I think there was a new era brought about when 2.8 was released. With it, they really pushed their dev fund, which helped them to get better, which made them bigger, which got them more donations, which made them get better. Cyclical loop.<p>Im excited to see where they go next.</p>

<p>> Their electricity prices always have been expensive by Australian standards. However despite the investment of billions replacing coal and gas with wind and solar, those prices have dropped a little. They expect to complete the transition and be 100% renewable this decade.<p>I think this is one of the drivers for people installing solar on their houses... We have a solar rate of 40% in the state. People want to reduce their powerbill as much as possible, which in turn helps us become more and more 'Green'.<p>The problem is in summer when the solar input into the grid, vastly outweighs the demand, and the demand spikes with all the airconditioning clicking on in the evening.<p>Energy Storage (Batteries), plays a huge part in our state becoming self-reliant in a green way.</p>

<p>What really kickstarted their development... was the introduction of the Blender Development Fund -- <a href="https://fund.blender.org/" rel="nofollow">https://fund.blender.org/</a><p>They made tiers, made it simple and easy, and promoted it.<p>Before the fund really was pushed... they were getting about 5,000 USD per month to develop it... Now it is sitting at 215,000 USD per month.<p>More money = More developers. More Developers = Better product.<p>Yes it didnt happen overnight that increase, but it was slow and steady.</p>
