This one seems to be a very thin interface over raw buffers, with the CUDA runtime managing the hard parts of migrating to device(s) and back. Pretty neat to offer natural interfaces to that sort of …

We have a small tax on the wealth of the rich, called the estate tax. It's assessed when the owner will feel the pain the least.

Probably a fair complaint. I’d question whether enough people with foundations take bald-face risks with enough of the assets to be relevant to tax policy. More pedestrian stuff (eg expensing a confe…
