Siri (Beta) is really interesting.
On one hand, I don't have to trust any new parties with my data. Apple already has it since they have my mobile devices, so if they were going to maliciously steal (e.g.) my email contents, they could already do that. This opens the door to a whole bunch of LLM data based interrogation that I wouldn't trust with other providers.

And they host an exploit since 2021 at least: #security #abuse

Postgres is a great pub/sub & job server
If you need a publish/subscribe or job server at any point in your project, try using Postgres. It'll give you lots of data integrity and performance guarantees, and it doesn't require you or your team learning any new technology.
