@RyanKidd I was thinking already committed, but I am interested in the logistics for both cases.
As I said in the application, the team might be able to fund this through normal academic channels, which would be their preference.

I run EA Funds, I often like to think about ML and technological progress and work on silly projects that sometimes end up on the internet.

@Austin can I confirm that the team could take out, say, $1700 of funding, and the remaining funding would just be returned to the offerer's pots, limiting the downside of pledging early if the project turns out to be cheaper than expected?
I realised that I'm not sure how Manifund handles partial payouts and don't want to mislead people about the downsides of committing money early.

@RyanKidd The team (who are actually running the project) are more sceptical than I am that there are gains above 2k, I’ll nudge them to comment their takes here.

@Austin It did not. My friends are planning this event and as it’s cheap and not sensitive (and imo worth funding) I thought I’d put it on here.
