Refurbished Pixels can be cheap nowadays. I got a Pixel 8a for less than 300 euros in great condition.

You could also ask users to type the words fuck or shit in the description somewhere. LLMs cannot do that AFAIK.

OK, it’s not code but still fun though.

ChucK is a “programming” language: https://chuck.stanford.edu/

It’s a dead-end job because of PHP. But if you insist on using that language, drop all AI usage and learn with some good code, and add some CI/DevOps automation to clean and check everything.

Your code is shit, you are stressed and anxious, you have no devops and most likely no best practices, and you exclude people who don’t comply with your shitty behavior? Sounds like an awful company. Are you proud of something?

It already happened when the French government gave private health data to Microsoft. The same government is now furiously backpedaling. I’m sure they still got their bribes.

AI said:

To run AI models locally, you’ll need a computer with a capable CPU, sufficient RAM, and a powerful GPU

While it’s possible to run some AI models on a laptop, a dedicated desktop setup with a powerful GPU will generally offer better performance. The cost of building a dedicated AI PC can range from around $800 for a budget build to $2,500 for a performance-oriented system

Hope that helps /s
