Any 10000s of something is a large number when it involves human work.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoImagine that tax returns for millions of people were all processed by hand not but a few decades ago.
- umeshunni 4y agoAnd that required 1000s of people
- fnordpiglet 4y agoAnd the results here were three orders of magnitude less, so they require single digits people.
- Retric 4y agoAssuming the task was of similar difficulty and the deadline was equally short. I doubt those assumptions hold.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoTrue. I bet the tax returns were harder and had a bounded deadline, unlike an academic research paper.
