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.

>4) The basic theory that got us to the current AI crop was defined decades ago and no new workable theories have been put forth that will move us closer to an AGI.

I guess it really depends on what you mean by "basic theory" but my view is that the framework that got us to our current crop of models (vision now too, not just LLMs) is much more recent, namely transformers circa 2017. If you're talking about artificial neural networks, in general, maybe. ANNs are really just another framework for a probabilistic model that is numerically optimized (albeit inspired by biological processes) so I don't know where to draw the line for what defines the basic theory...I hope you don't mean backprop either as the chain rule is pretty old too.
