'bus error python' on M1 Mac in the 00-SystemCheck notebook #3

Description

@cip22

When I try to run the sentiment analysis, as soon as I execute
nlp("I feel good"),
I get

zsh: bus error python

The problem turned out to be this code:
nlp = pipeline("sentiment-analysis")
After this step, I get - among other info - this line back:

Hardware accelerator e.g. GPU is available in the environment, but no device argument is passed to the Pipeline object. Model will be on CPU.

So I decided to provide the 'device' argument. If MPS is present on the machine, I can create the pipeline like this:
nlp = pipeline("sentiment-analysis", device="mps")
The documentation is here:
https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.44.0/en/main_classes/pipelines#transformers.pipeline

Now the sentiment analysis runs.
