Wizard Reproduces DeepMind Results

HYPERPARAMETERS REVELIO! STOCHASTIC GRADIENT DESCENDO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I'M TRYING TO REPRODUCE THE RESULTS FROM THE LATEST DEEPMIND PAPER. SO FAR NONE OF MY SPELLS SEEM TO BE WORKING. I THINK I MAY NEED TO INVOKE SOME EVEN MORE POWERFUL INCANTATIONS. OR, Y'KNOW, MAYBE JUST FOLLOW THEIR DESCRIPTION IN THE PAPER. I'M IN NO MOOD FOR YOUR JOKES. SILENCIO!

A cartoon shows a wizard attempting to reproduce results from a DeepMind paper by casting spells around a laptop. When told to simply follow the paper’s description, he angrily responds with “SILENCIO!” The joke compares mysterious machine-learning experiments and hyperparameters to magic spells and mocks poor reproducibility.
