I'd like to play around with something like this, but from my understanding my machine (Macbook, 2021 M1) isn't nearly powerful enough (right?). Are there remote/cloud environments…

SEEKING VOLUNTEER/TAKEOVER: WaybackHN A number of years ago I made https://waybackhn.com . It was a top HN post, and perhaps some of you remember it! https://news.ycombinator.com/i…

Yes! Julia's zines are an amazing way of communicating technical concepts https://jvns.ca/zines/ Wish more people made them

And the Echo is for many people the perfect and most convenient way to listen to music in the home.
