I'm currently waiting for the Ethereum vote to flood the market with used GPUs and then hopefully new ones will become more affordable, too. And yes, I've also been burned multiple times by runaway AWS costs. Especially since you keep paying for CPU time for instances that are shut down but not fully deleted. That always struck me as odd and most other cloud providers handle that differently. And yes, I would also assume that most AI persons don't have the systems expertise, which is kinda sad. But then again, most AI tutorials are buggy as hell, presumably for the same reason. For example https://huggingface.co/blog/wav2vec2-with-ngram https://huggingface.co/blog/wav2vec2-with-ngram (yes, the people building the Huggingface AI toolkit) says: "The 5-gram correctly includes a "Unknown" or <unk>, as well as a begin-of-sentence, <s> token, but no end-of-sentence, </s> token. This sadly has to be corrected currently after the build." And then follows a cringe-worthy script to "fix" the missing </s> by rewriting a 100+ GB file in python. But actually, they are just using KenLM the wrong way. Once you put each sentence onto its own line - like the manual says - it produces the </s> just fine. And now I wonder if I still want to trust their python packages to do the right thing...
