My experience, over 10 years building models with libraries using CUDA under the hood, this problem has nearly gone away in the past few years. Setting up CUDA on new machines and even getting multi GPU/nodes configuration working with NCCL and pytorch DDP, for example, is pretty slick. Have you experienced this recently?

I was little confused after reading the article exactly how this would work. I checked out the actual regulations and found this formula and explanation:

> (Intermediary global revenue) × (Canadian share of global GDP [≈2%]) × (Contribution rate [4%])

Proxy for “Canadian revenue” Intermediary global revenue This figure refers to the annual global revenue of a digital news intermediary. It excludes other unrelated revenues from the company operating the intermediary.

Doesn't seem like a very fair or accurate way to implement it regardless of whether this is a good idea or not.

Didn't really seem that vituperative to me. Seemed like he's really frustrated with a bunch of events tangentially related to Jill, gets emotional and could have been more respectful. I think he probably owes her an offline apology but I don't think this a reason to discount this man entirely.
