Dear ML users/researchers, what hardware do you use? (lemmy.ml)

I am looking to replace my old PC, and wondering what other people use.

Do you use your own hardware? If so, what do you have? What do you think gives you the most bang for your buck at the moment?

Do you use the cloud instead? If so, why? Which service(s) do you use?

Thank you!

I do 95% of my personal stuff on a desktop with a GTX 1070, often remoting into it from a laptop. Someday soon I'll throw a bigger GPU in, but the 1070 has served me well for years.

I find the sunk cost of building a machine encourages me to use it more. I don't mind running something for a week even if I have no idea if it'll work or not.

Same deal at work, but with much beefier hardware. In both cases, I'll spin up a cloud instance if I want some results faster.
