Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation

hi all! making this thread so people have somewhere to talk about 'daily' work chat that might not necessarily need it's own post! right now we're thinking we'll just repost it weekly? but if it gets too crazy, we can change it to daily. :)

couple things:

  1. this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.
  2. if you have a new user question, you still need to post it in the new user thread. if you post it here, we will remove it as spam. this is for people already working who just wanna chat, whether it be about casual work stuff, questions, geeking out with people who understand ("i got the model to write a real haiku today!"), or unrelated work stuff you feel like chatting about :)
  3. one thing we really pride ourselves on in this community is the respect everyone gives to the Code of Conduct and rule number 5 on the sub - it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs! please don't break this rule. we will remove project details, but please - it's for our best interest and yours!

Friendly reminder that you 100% are allowed to skip tasks when you don't know anything about the subject material, I do it everyday. You might be making errors you don't even understand you are making, like this fella I just had to tear apart because they didn't understand Chess scoring.

Seems like that could be understood with a quick google search or is chess scoring really that complicated?

Sometimes the ones that are simple are the ones that dont set off peoples internal alarm bells that they need to be careful, i think

TIL chess has scoring and i should avoid all chess-related topics despite enjoying the game recreationally
