Back to working on wheat physics! This actually uses Unity's hair package 😅 So we're covering the game essentially in a giant head of hair. Very normal.

Lattice now has the ability to collapse simple nodes into a minimized form that snaps onto the parent node. This is shockingly nice! It makes working with complex scripts much more pleasant, because long chains of casts can be hidden out of the way!

My girlfriend wrote a Google Research blog post! She's developed an ML model that understands medical CT scans!

And it's built for the public! Anyone can now train a local model on their own PC that can understand chest CT scans! Wild!!
