No, it is not arbitrary. C is measured (presumably). It works like this:

```julia
julia> C = 0.3; # J / GFLOP

julia> M = 5000; # GFLOP

julia> train = M*10^9 * C/10^9
1.50000e+03

julia> query = sqrt(M*10^9) * C/10^9
6.70820e-04

julia> 

julia> C = 0.3 / 1000; # J / MFLOP

julia> M = 5000*1000; # MFLOP

julia> train = M*10^6 * C/10^6
1.50000e+03

julia> query = sqrt(M*10^6) * C/10^6
6.70820e-04

julia> 

```

All needs to be brought to a common base unit, FLOP.

Edit: @abraemer You are right, as I wrote it above ([Not good: AI is a problem, not a solution - #20 by PetrKryslUCSD](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/not-good-ai-is-a-problem-not-a-solution/117798/20)) it wouldn’t work.
