for the first chart (sourced from <a href="https://epoch.ai/data/machine-learning-hardware?view=graph&yAxis=Energy+efficiency+%28GFLOP%2FJ%29&sizeCategorization=Power+draw+%28W%29" rel="nofollow">https://epoch.ai/data/machine-learning-hardware?view=graph&y...), what is the audience supposed to think about that trend line? there's a step after you slap a regression on some points where you evaluate whether there's a real trend or noise, right? i don't see that either in the article or the linked source.
