Your local computer is not powerful enough, and that's why you must welcome those brand new mainframes... I mean, "cloud services."





It is funny how using a Web IDE, and a cloud shell, is such a déjà vu from when I used to do development on a common UNIX server shared by the whole team.

Telnet from a Wyse terminal.

My first experience with such a setup was connecting to DG/UX, via the terminal application on Windows for Workgroups, or some thin client terminals in a mix of green or ambar phosphor, spread around the campus.

The only time I used a Pascal compiler in ISO Pascal mode, it had the usual extensions inspired on UCSD, but we weren't allowed to use them on the assignments.


My local computer is not powerful enough to run training but it can certainly run an LLM. How do I know? Many other people and I have already done it. Deepseek for example can be run locally but it’s not a user friendly setup.

I want an Amazon echo agent running my home with a locally running LLM.
