Approximately equal to; the equality is not exact.

The passage around this formula

The dense route is the baseline: more parameters, more data, more compute, with C ≈\approx 6ND . Kaplan and colleagues established that loss falls as a power law in each of these over many orders of magnitude [ 2 ] , and the field spent several years reading that as a mandate to grow N .
