I have tried using Google Cloud - I spent a lot of time finding a location and getting the permissions to use GPUs. Then one time after I switched off the vm to economize on costs I could not switch it on again because of lack of resources. I don't know if I could migrate it somewhere else - but most probably not, because the GPUs setups are pretty unique. After a few weeks I gave up. I bought a laptop with nvidia. I switched off everything that I thought was to switch off. Then for 4 months I was constantly being reminded about something more to switch off. Now I still have a static IP address and I don't know how to switch it off because the VM it was attached to is deleted.
By the way as a seasoned (and actually kind of retired) programmer I started learning ML by myself after deciding that I don't like the code I was getting from hired companies. It is a strange land with many software writing practicies surprising someone coming from different programming culture. I wish I could find a community of people who made a similar path - here is my blog: https://zby.github.io/ https://zby.github.io/.
