Working at Microsoft right now must be like trying to code inside a blender. Just fucking brutal.

Content warning: Medical stuff / MRI selfie

On the 10th of December 2024 at about 4pm in the afternoon I had a sudden shivering attack. The room wasn't cold, but I was, so I took to bed and shivered on the electric blanket until I napped for a few hours.
Woke up groggy, and never got better. Feeling light headed and occasionally dizzy and half stoned all the time. Can't handle booze or dope at all any more. Doing the job feels like trying to program drunk, concentration shot and short term memory failing.
Various doctors have ordered batteries of tests and put me on drugs to reduce my blood pressure but nothing that's really helped.
They did an MRI last week. Apparently everything looks normal which is good I guess, but still leaves symptoms unexplained.
There are worse fates than feeling half drunk all the time I suppose.
Given no visible brain damage, about the best suggestion anyone has is to stay off booze and drugs (which is easy, since I can't handle them any more) and get back to meditation. If it's damage so small the MRI can't pick it up it'll get better slowly probably. 🤷
Anyway, they gave me the MRI data upon request, so I spent most of yesterday importing it into Blender and making some visualization.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present: My apparently completely normal brain in an MRI selfie.

Trying to come up with something for Furality Somna! Of course, less than a week before it begins :neofox_think_googly:

Screenshot of my model in blender. It's untextured and gray. It's wearing a t-shirt and short pants. It also has a belt with a star in the center, bracelets with a smaller star in them, and a scarf that's floating up as if wind was pushing it.

Interesting thing about tomorrow's tarot show, rendering now, is that I upgraded from Blender 4.0 to blender 4.4 and it's quite a bit nicer to look at the timeline editor.
Was sad to find that the render time was up though. From about 3 seconds per frame usually to more like 12!?
Trying it with an old version I see that the lights and textures look way better with 4.4 than 4.0 though. A substantial step up in the way the show looks without me even doing anything other than waiting four times longer per frame.
Seems to be heavily dependent upon lighting now. The slow frames are like 12 seconds but the fast frames with minimal lighting and close up on the video are more like 2.
Looks too beautiful now to go back though. Upgraded my cloud-remote render machines too. We will render on four machines tonight. FOUR! The power of it all.
g3.4xlarge is no faster than g3.large but g6.xlarge seems to be twice the speed.
But hard to be sure really coz of the massive variance in time depending on the lighting.
Anyway, great show coming tomorrow. Sometimes I wonder what the hell I'm trying to do with it but tomorrow's show is the answer. Hide the angry bitter political rant behind a strange CGI tarot show. When the rant comes together well I like it.

Diving into Godot for some personal projects, and getting my 3D pipeline sorted out and man... the Blender to Godot pipeline is so nice. Just being able to straight up save .blend files complete with modifiers and the like and have it work so seamlessly in Godot is just... (chef's kiss)

DO HO SUH: WALK THE HOUSE. This is startlingly good. Really worth a trip to see the exhibition at Tate Modern, if you are anywhere near. It's rare to come across innovative modern art that is so soothing, not shocking or disturbing. These rooms are all made from thin, translucent fabric held up on wire frame, complete with all the familiar fittings.

A pink fabric door, see through and very detailed. The locks and handles are all present and correct in 3d, so it's like being inside a Blender scene.

Me: I want to make a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich but I don’t have any mayonnaise.
Literally two minutes later, I have made some excellent mayo. People should make more mayo at home. Kenji’s method is practically fool proof.

Using an immersion blender, you end up with a cup full of creamy, perfectly emulsified, real-deal, better-than-anything-you-can-buy mayonnaise.

BlenderFusion: 3D-Grounded Visual Editing and Generative Compositing
We present BlenderFusion, a generative visual compositing framework that synthesizes new scenes by recomposing objects, camera, and background. It follows a layering-editing-compositing pipeline: (i) segmenting and converting visual inputs into editable 3D entities (layering), (ii) editing them in Blender with 3D-grounded control (editing), and (iii) fusing them into a coherent scene using a generative compositor (compositing). Our generative compositor extends a pre-trained diffusion model to …

This reminds me of the old toy Mr Peanut peanut butter maker…
It came with a little booklet that discussed Booker T. Washington, champion of the peanut. infosec.exchange/@tinker/11463

Tinker ☀️ (@tinker@infosec.exchange)
Ummm.... So I found out how easy it is to make peanut butter... Like.. It's peanuts. In a blender/processor. And that's it. Like what the fuck. I eat a lot of peanut butter. But I hated how much sugar was in it. I tried the "organic" or "sugar free" and its disgusting. A local place makes peanut butter and focuses on flavored peanut butter (think cinnamon toast crunch peanut butter, spicy chili peanut butter, etc). But I always just liked their plain peanut butter. But it was so expensive…
