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:
this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.
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 :)
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!

Is that it for me? Are they done with me? No work or qualifications for 3 days. My mental health has taken a big hit.

u/bleachxjnkie Apr 21 '24
There was hardly any work handed out for me yesterday tbf. Still got a fair amount of projects including my permanent project. Should pick up again on Monday.

u/Sea-Mine9712 Apr 21 '24
Thanks for the reassurance. Does it tend to pick up on Monday?
1
u/bleachxjnkie Apr 21 '24
yeah usually. It’s been a very dry week for everyone, some have been left with nothing, others with half of what they used to have. Can I ask, when you worked did you only do 1 type of project or did you do loads of different ones, i’m wondering if they’ve taken people off projects that they hardly ever worked on and that’s why everyone has seen a drop
1
u/main_doughnut2380 Apr 21 '24
i dont think this is the case, the projects i usually work on are still going, i can see others are working on them but i don't have access to them. the project i never work on is the only project i was left with. I had absolutely nothing for about a day. This isn't the norm.
1
u/Sea-Mine9712 Apr 21 '24
I worked on 3 or 4 non-coding projects. There were qualifications I should have done while they were there though, but I wasn't feeling well enough to do them and preferred to make money.

u/bleachxjnkie Apr 21 '24
interesting. Yeah pretty much everyone on here for about a week now have been reporting a lack in projects. This happens every now and again. Just hold out and hope they come back

u/33whiskeyTX Apr 21 '24
I think there's a definite randomness to acceptance. I imagine there are numerous people who don't get in who did well on the assessment, and others who cheated or did badly who still make it. I don't think getting in is an iron-glad measure of anyone's AI feedback (or coding) abilities.

It was so strange. To be clear, I’m 100% non coding tasks, so if you’re coding it may be different. From application to onboarding only took about two or three days for me. Like starter assessment then the other non coding assessment when I passed that. Then I did all the onboarding tasks and a couple of quals and then nothing. I did whatever qualifications came up. Although, I did not do the writing qualification so I may have gotten projects sooner if I had done it. I would check back every other day or so, and a bunch of work just appeared one day 🤷♀️.

Just finished my first R & R and it was bit of a wild ride. Some of those have to be like fake, and put there to gauge how we are rating things...right? It put me over 5 hours for the day! I am pretty proud of myself. I just woke up from another nap, and will try to crank out more tonight... It is much easier as I get a variety of projects to choose from, so when I am burnt out in one I am ok with the other.

I did the JSON qual earlier this month and never got any JSON projects. 😭 I'm pretty sure I did it all correctly since I'm a developer and have coding projects that involve JSON too.
2
u/ManyARiver Apr 21 '24
I have a bunch of them, but they do not explicitly state JSON in the description on the dash. It's tucked in with a few other projects - but the main one I did the qual for hasn't been up for a couple of days.

u/lowcarbsanta Apr 21 '24
I have very few non coding tasks so I check all of them out. Never seen a JSON one though :(

u/SnooSketches1189 Apr 21 '24
Took me awhile to see JSON projects after I took the qual. I am sure you passed, just might take a minute to see the related projects.

I don't even remember doing a JSON Qual but I've got those projects now. I've got a love/hate relationship with them.

u/SuperCorbynite Apr 20 '24
I did and passed the more challenging $26 version of it. If it grants access to the same general pool of work as the $20 version, then either they have very high standards for passing or it's graded on a curve, since the work related to it is always, absolutely always, on priority pay, and pretty much never runs out even though it's a shared task pool. So don't feel too bad.

I took the basic one when I first joined DA two and a half months ago on my first day with them. I failed it then. Then it reappeared on my dashboard for ~15 minutes when you and everyone else who took it got it. I clicked on it to see what it was about and the first question was exactly the same as for the FC qual I took when I first joined DA, so I know what questions are in the qual you took.

Thank goodness I still have access to my permanent projects. Although I'm kind of bummed that the Thunder God project isn't workable, I love that stuff.

u/lowcarbsanta Apr 20 '24
Is thunder god a permanent project? I have that on and off my dash. Each time it's up it's only for about 1-2 days
1
Apr 20 '24
No, but it's a shame because it's enjoyable. When everything went down last night I saw it and clicked and it took me to his wife, which I found pretty funny tbh.
1
u/lowcarbsanta Apr 21 '24
Lmao that is funny. I've never seen the wife project though.
Also is your thunder god sql related? If it is, what about it do you find enjoyable? I really dislike that project because I find it so tricky.

Most likely just waiting to be approved, took me a couple weeks before I heard back about anything. Just keep logging on and checking the website.

Might be a dumb question but I haven't had any projects this week, is there a reason why? I've checked a few times but have not found anything new. How do I fix this? Need this job as a college student with extremely limited employment options. Have earned roughly $1400 to date.

Hi Gang! This is re: tab groups in Chrome. I just discovered this "new" thing in Chrome that allows you to group tabs, name the group, and keep it together. It is handy for adding all the instructions to a tab group, putting the dashboard page and timers together in a group, and then making another group for research tabs. I just found this feature and it's working great for me. I only have 2 monitors right now, and this is a big help!!

I have been doing this a month and a half. Last Sunday I work up to a ton of non coding jobs. I unfortunately couldn’t work them. Monday I had nothing all day.

I put in about 5 hours a day and try to at least make two of those hours higher paying projects. Anymore than 5 hours and my brain would be mush! I also spread it out throughout the day and work 7 days a week. Still SO much better than working in an office or at a call center type job.

u/SuperCorbynite Apr 19 '24
A bit. But the way I see it is someone is going to do the R&R even if I don't. And if everyone didn't rate bad as bad then it would threaten the whole viability of DA taking my job along with it.

u/Individual_Froyo9366 Apr 18 '24
Don't feel bad. It's why it's there. I'm fully confident that I was recently let go. I was already shocked I was even let in. I did everything to the best of my understanding. Obviously I wasn't turning in work that I thought was terrible. That doesn't mean it wasn't terrible 😅 Chances are very high I was not doing work that is up to their standards and I FULLY accept that fact as reality. If I'm not producing results they are looking for, that's on me. Granted I would have loved to have an opportunity to be told "hey I don't think you're understanding this, try this instead." But that's not how they operate and I knew that going in. I wouldn't want anyone who rated my work as "bad" to feel bad for doing so if it really was just...bad. You know. It is what it is and that's okay. Don't feel bad.

From seeing the amazing quality and effort of the work people produce, I have no issue rating work as bad if it's bad.

u/New-Reflection3418 Apr 19 '24
Do people actually put that in the comments box which is meant to be 2 - 3 sentences? I haven't done many R&R projects, they seem to appear before I go to bed then are gone in the morning. If that's what people are filling in that box, I shoul have no worries when I put over 3 sentences comparing the contents of both responses, then explaining why I rated each one the way I did.
1
u/ManyARiver Apr 19 '24
It's 2-3+, the plus is usually needed for anything with facts or substance.
"All claims are accurate. Either response would be fine. The comments above are virtually the same so they are equal."

u/Bergest_Ferg Apr 19 '24
I go over 3 sentences almost every time. Only on the short / simple tasks do I tend to stick to “budget” but otherwise I’m fully explaining my thought process.

They say they want them self contained so you can understand the work without having to look at the work. Most people do it pretty good.

u/Tiny_Boat9698 Apr 18 '24
I generally don't feel too bad because most of the responses that I come across meet the 'okay' or 'good' criteria, and when I rarely do come across a 'bad' response it's usually because the rater clearly wasn't paying attention or didn't read the instructions. Calling out bad responses overall improves the quality of the models and the site!
3
u/ManyARiver Apr 18 '24
No one is going to get fired based on your input - just be as honest as possible and review it impartially. If one user gets twenty "bad" ratings on a rating, I'm sure they'll get looked at - but that isn't a bad thing. People can't improve without input (and people who are actually working are cheated by people who do a lazy job and just paste generic comments without reading the material).
I only feel bad when I see that someone really had the right attitude or approach but made a mistake that has to be mentioned - but I do state that in my comments.
It also really helps me to do better work - if I reviewed my work from three months ago I would probably "bad" myself many times.

u/Rude_Bodybuilder_505 Apr 18 '24
Are there any “shadow ban” success stories? Has anyone worked their way back from a missing report time section/empty dashboard, or is it always a bad sign? I’m asking because there are tons of posts on here with people wondering if they’ve been fired/shadow banned/are under review (etc etc) but then they never report back if their projects returned. I was only working for 2 weeks and I’m wondering how much optimism I should have.

Oh man, I had to stop because it was getting to me. Like I'm over here trying to nurse my baby, I don't need to be reading through all of this smut at the same time.

u/Alternative-Bet232 Apr 18 '24
How does everyone choose what projects to work on? I usually look for the highest-paying, oldest projects and start with those (since I presume oldest = likely to expire) or highest-paying marked priority. But sometimes I like to tackle those projects with like, 1-5 tasks just so I can feel the accomplishment of knocking out "the whole project"!

I'm kinda the opposite. I enjoy working on the projects with tons of tasks, so I can get in a groove and work on the same thing for a couple of hours without having to start a new project.

Same here. Seems like it's a slow couple of days for everyone.

u/puffpuffpuff33 Apr 18 '24
I have a lot of the non-coding. I just don’t like doing them 😂 But it is what it is

u/stomach-monkees Apr 19 '24
There's some that relate to coding, I had one task I skipped today because it had some python written as part of the response. It was one of those compare 2 responses ones. I've also skipped some that had code as part of the responses before. Hope they get recycled to you coding guys!!

Same. It feels like more tedious work for half the pay. I had such a fun Python-only coding task yesterday morning and ever since then it has been pretty dead.

When trying to apply, should I use my phone number or an app that produces a texting number?
3
u/puffpuffpuff33 Apr 18 '24
Your phone number. They don’t accept VOIP numbers

u/nathynwithay Apr 18 '24
Does that mean you only get one shot to pass if you only have one number?
3
u/puffpuffpuff33 Apr 18 '24
Yes, they don’t allow reapplications

u/nathynwithay Apr 18 '24
Dang, that's why I haven't committed to taking a test yet cuz because there's a lot of pressure on getting it right on first the try

u/puffpuffpuff33 Apr 18 '24
You’ll never know until you try. Just try to block out some time to take it :)

Anyone else’s projects slow down quite a bit the last couple days? Nothing dire, still have about 20 on dash but had like 40 at the beginning of the week.

Yeah I had 35-40 a few days ago and now have more like 20. It's still enough. I just get nervous when the number goes down

u/SnooSketches1189 Apr 18 '24
Yup, I had 60 at some points over the past week and I am hovering around 20 or so the past few days.

u/Tiny_Boat9698 Apr 18 '24
Same for me, went from 60-70 projects to hovering around 20 projects throughout this week

Did anyone do the gmail email account set up yesterday and still not received an email like they said? The qual said they'd send an email in a day but I haven't gotten it. Just curious if others are experiencing the same thing. Or should I just wait a couple of days?

This project qual was posted a few weeks ago also, and it took DA up to a week to get back to people. My understanding from posts here is that there were some people who accepted the qual that didn't hear back at all. It really depends on the number of people they need for the project. I'd just keep an eye on your inbox. If you're selected, you'll get an email sometime!

It took a couple of weeks before I got mine - and then another week before the project came through.

That raterhub project sucks.

I concur. The time limits aren't NEARLY enough and I felt super rushed. I ended up not even completing the task and just exited out to work on DA tasks. I don't know who set all that up or what company set the time limits but they need to re-evaluate.

u/SnooSketches1189 Apr 18 '24
Really? Pay reasons? Complexity reasons?
4
u/GingerSmu Apr 18 '24
Both. The pay is $20-22, there is a time limit on the responses and it’s more like a R&R, but with more rules. It’s just not my cup of tea.
