That doesn't seem correct. It's just matrix multiplications at the end. Doesn't matter if it's a different computer, GPU or even math on a napkin. Same seed, input and weights should give the same output. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
There are many ways to compute the same matrix multiplication that apply the sum reduction in different orders, which can produce different answers when using floating point values. This is because floating point addition is not truly associative because of rounding.
Wait, wouldn't it be more significant in low bit numbers, which is the whole reason they're avoided in maths applications? In any work I've ever done, low bit numbers were entirely the reason exact order was important, where float64 or float128makes it mostly negligible.
You're assuming consistent hardware & software profiles. The way these things work at scale is essentially a compiler/instruction scheduling problem where you can think of different CPU/GPU combinations as the pipelines for what is basically a data center scale computer. The function graph is broken up into parts, compiled for different hardware profiles w/ different kernels, & then deployed & stitched together to maximize hardware utilization while minimizing cost. Service providers are not doing this b/c they want to but b/c they want to be profitable so every hardware cycle that is not used for querying or optimization is basically wasted money.
You'll never get agreement from any major companies on your proposal b/c that would mean they'd have to provide a real SLA for all of their customers & they'll never agree to that.

> Arata found an inverse relationship between the disclosure and severity of abuse. Subjects reporting contact sexual abuse were significantly less likely to disclose it than those reporting non-contact sexual abuse.
> The duration of sexual abuse has a significant impact on its disclosure – the longer children are abused, the more hesitant they may be to disclose their abuse.
Unjustified downvoting. You absolutely have a point. Not just software, also the gazillion UI/UX designers. They keep moving things around and changing colors and fucking things up just to justify their salaries. Case in point: Google maps. It was perfect 15 years ago. We don't need vomit inducing color changes every 2 years
He was also abused in a psychology study at Harvard when he was 17, which may have been part of the CIA’s MK Ultra drug experiments. Maybe he would have done it all the same or not in the absence of that, who knows.
There are few open source projects coming along that let you sell your compute power in a decentralized way. I don't know how genuine some of these are [0] but it could be the reason: people are just trying to make money.
There have been countless projects to sell distributed compute power. I don't know of any that have gotten much traction. Everyone keeps trying to create new ones instead of developing for the existing ones.
The one you linked to looks clearly like a pump-and-dump scam, though.
