A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.
https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f

https://osxdaily.com/2026/04/27/how-to-tell-if-a-mac-needs-more-ram-using-memory-pressure/
Rather than focusing only on how much memory is being used, Memory Pressure reflects a summation of available free memory, memory compression, swap usage (virtual memory, which uses disk as temporary RAM), and overall system demands on memory. This makes it a much more useful metric than simply looking at RAM used or free RAM alone.
