@VrKomarov yeah, working on a side project where I can just develop the way I feel is right is the thing that keeps me sane 😆

@VrKomarov, yeah, definitely the craziest project I have ever started. Insane overtime to get that done. I don’t think I can ever do that again.

I was asked to repeat that effort when I joined Pixar, which I tried, but it was a much harder ship to steer, mostly because it’s easier to do something fresh when you start anew, than trying to change something mature. It’s simpler to lead a new team you built, than be followed by a consolidate team you joined.

@VrKomarov it was similar for my first renderer: I was frustrated with the commercial tools and wanted to make the renderer I have wanted to use. Then it became the renderer at the company. 12 years later, I don’t work there anymore, but people are still using it and improving it.

Thanks, @paulmelis. It’s just a hobby project.

@VrKomarov it’s a cool project!

Is it just for fun, like mine? Or something else?

@aeva evolutionary speaking, green is what we are most sensitive to. Alpha is cool, but it associates with transparency, which is always trouble and suffering 🤭

Last month I managed to charge my car exclusively with excess electricity production from my solar array, “fueling” 900km of trips and errands. Excess solar I is not free, each kWh used in charging is not fed back into the grid. At 12c/kWh, that is $18 (in AUD, equivalent to 12USD).

@blinry @aeva pity it’s not close enough to the cooling system, otherwise you could use that to roast them too! Freshly roasted peanuts every single time!!

@tilde @doppioslash the irony is that as consumers we have power to shape what the big capitalists do: any small drop in a product sale calls for emergency meetings to fix that. 10% of a customer base stop buying a product, due to their practices (calling out green washing), thing would change. “Individual responsibility” is the best misunderstood tool we have.

Regulators, are in a weaker spot: they won’t do anything if the vast majority of their constituents won’t call hard on it.
