Interesting, how come there are obviously incorrect pixels ?.

- simplicio 3y agoThink they're just people making math mistakes (one of the reasons why we don't usually implement shaders by having people compute values by hand). If you compare them to nearby "correct" pixels, they usually just have one of the three RGB values that are sharply different.
- eat_veggies 3y agothe moderators are checking that the pixel was computed by hand, not that it's correct
- dahart 3y agoThe page does actually say they want to see intermediate results “so we can validate your work.” (Edit that quote has been removed now.) But there’s no promise that they will. The photo feature may be more of an automated speed bump, a way to reduce silly answers and pixel spam, and let people self-select, than an active human moderation tool. Moderating is boring and expensive in time and/or money, why would anyone actually sift through thousands of hand-written pages of arithmetic?
- sb8244 3y agoValidate is slightly vague here. I interpreted it as "so we can validate your work [was done by hand]."
- dahart 3y agoFair enough, I guess it is open to interpretation. The language on the page has changed now, the quote I posted is no longer there.
- someweirdperson 3y ago> why would anyone actually sift through thousands of hand-written pages of arithmetic? 2840 pages. Doesn't seem crazy. Page looks like it was written by hand? Next. At two pages per second it's less than half an hour of work.

- bobsmooth 3y agoSome of the calculations are pretty big and the operation to trim LSD is easy to mess up if you forget to round.
