As much as our apps and devices know about us today, they don’t understand us. They demand our attention without taking things off of our plate. They overwhelm us with all the things we need to do without lending us an empathetic hand towards getting them done.
We deserve more. We deserve computers that understand us, anticipate what we need, and help before we have to ask.
This is SPECS Intelligence. It transforms your iPhone and Mac into devices that understand your life, your relationships, and your goals by connecting to the apps you use every day. Instead of just helping you complete tasks, it understands the bigger things you’re working towards and supports your journey towards them.
I’m so incredibly excited to finally share this with all of you. Join the waitlist for early access on Mac and iOS: specs.com/intelligence
Meet SPECS Intelligence.
It knows what’s important to you: your people, priorities, and what you’re working toward, so it can anticipate your needs before you have to ask.

fruit fly can control a robot now
For the first time, scientists have mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly — a key model organism in science. 🪰
Working alongside HHMI Janelia Research Campus and the scientific community, @GoogleResearch scientists and researchers used AI to combine millions of 2D images into 3D neural shapes, reconstructing a record-breaking 166,000+ neurons. This foundational map of the adult male fruit fly brain can help accelerate our understanding of the brain, and is a major milestone in neuroscience.

From stealth, privileged to introduce American Turbines.
We're building a new class of small, highly manufacturable gas turbines for rapid-to-deploy energy generation.
Abundant energy is the soil from which everything else grows: intelligence, industry, the next century of work.
The only way forward is energy generation we can scale by orders of magnitude. We're building that here at American Turbines.
Hyper manufacturable, by design.

tbh boeing’s culture seems goated. just recklessly yoloing astronauts up to space with no plans to get them back. this is the cowboy mindset america used to have. now it’s all checklists and “safety first”
