@npub19d9…f02p @npub1s4k…j02h @npub15sw…x855 Just as the excellent experimental work controls for the fan noise etc, so too does the high quality computational work. People run parameter sweeps and compare multiple architectures trained on different random seeds etc etc. Comparing average experimental work to average comp work, I don't think there'd be a difference.
