I think this discussion is sad, since it seems both sides assume bad faith from the other side. On one hand, I think Dan H and Andy Zou have improved the post by suggesting writing about related work, and signal-boosting the bypassing refusal result, so should be acknowledged in the post (IMO) rather than downvoted for some reason. I think that credit assignment was originally done poorly here (see e.g. “Citing others” from this Chris Olah blog post), but the authors resolved this when pushed.
But on the other hand, “Section 6.2 of the RepE paper shows exactly this” and accusations of plagiarism seem wrong @Dan H. Changing experimental setups and scaling them to larger models is valuable original work.

The “This should be cited” part of Dan H’s comment was edited in after the author’s reply. I think this is in bad faith since it masks an accusation of duplicate work as a request for work to be cited.
On the other hand the post’s authors did not act in bad faith since they were responding to an accusation of duplicate work (they were not responding to a request to improve the work).
