Give me a Mac app with a local LLM. I’ll point it to my folder of personal docs like receipts, bills, taxes, etc and it’ll answer questions like: “How much did I spend on home improvement this year?” I am willing to pay 💰 for this. Anyone knows if something like this exists? #aitools #apple

Mark Twain wrote this poem on his daughter’s tombstone:
"Warm summer sun, shine kindly here; Warm southern wind, blow softly here; Green sod above, lie light, lie light, Good night, dear heart, Good night, good night." ❤️🥲 #poetry

Straight from Musk’s playbook: “Be hardcore or leave.” Prioritizing work over personal life will only accelerate burnout within the workforce, ultimately leading to diminished performance and poor long-term outcomes.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg warned employees Tuesday that the company is planning to push out “low performers” faster — a move that will lead to thousands of job cuts in a layoff that could affect 5 percent of the company.

Anyone else is noticing a very buggy handoff experience with their AirPod Pro Max lately? Like it would just stop responding after I switch between the Netflix app and YouTube music for example.
