That’s only for the final model. To find it, they’d need to run 1,000 experiments, trying many high-level approaches, many architectures for each component, hyperparameter search, …

Same here, I run the latest Firefox on both Windows and Linux. Gmail always takes at least 5 seconds to load.

Perhaps he wasn't prescient, just lucky.
