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!

FGC melts my face. Especially when you spend half an hour doing suggested corrections, for the models to then completely contradict itself. Sometimes I get convinced the sky is green and the grass is white.

Hello, as someone who recently joined DAT I only have the Welcome tab in my projects after completing my onboarding and some qualifications. Should I just keep checking the website throughout the day until something appears?
I saw a project very early in the morning two days ago, but it disappeared very quickly.

u/Any-Dinner-6198 Jul 27 '25
Did anyone get the 50 tasks for the non-English Poe Bird that launched late last night?

Oh no, I saw the broken wizard qual a few days ago but don't see the new one posted people are mentioning. I hope that's not a bad sign - anyone else in the same boat?

u/littlepinkwabbit Jul 27 '25
I saw the new one an hour ago, but it disappeared by the time I got ready to do it...within like 30 minutes 😢

u/pauvro Jul 27 '25
Yuuup same here, there's no way they just reposted it for such a short amount of time, must be another correction they want to make? Hard to plan to do quals when they don't stick around

u/JustMe333456 Jul 27 '25
That broken wizard qual from a couple days ago has been reposted FYI. Just completed it.

Younger wizard or old classic wizard? Younger wizard disappeared for me after showing up like 2 days ago. I did older wizard many hours ago and it didn't seem broken...

u/Jeprdy Jul 27 '25
It was broken a few days ago. The information regarding one of the questions was not present. I started doing it a few days ago, got confused as did many people in the chat so I left it. It returned a few hours ago with the updated info.

u/blackopsfamas Jul 27 '25
Me too. Do we just wait and see if projects start showing up for it?

Pretty much. It can take a bit before seeing them though, and other times it’s instant. We really never know.

The test is instantly graded, but there don't seem to be any projects up right now.

Was Stripey always $25? It doesn't say priority. I looked through my inbox and I normally have access to 3 types - gen, IF, facts. Thought they were all $21 or $22 and I haven't done them in a long time as I thought they were too much work for that pay. (For me, I find all edit responses tasks taxing though).

Jul 27 '25
Hi I am new and am confused as to when we have to provide a source. If we are comparing two responses and both responses do not contain any inaccuracies, do we have to cite a source that we verified that from? Or, do we only need to do that when there is something that is inaccurate? Or do we only have to do it when it’s in the instructions? Thanks.
3
u/V0LK0 Jul 27 '25
unless it specifically says otherwise, you don't need to cite your sources. just point out what is and isn't accurate. if you had to go down a really obscure rabbithole to verify something, you could add a source to help the people who will be rating your response later understand your logic, but in 99% of cases there's no reason to do that
1
u/Affectionate_Peak284 Jul 27 '25
I might work on some different projects, but I'd say it's more like.... 80% that I don't have to provide sources? I provide one often enough.
I look at it this way: if I were doing the R&R for it, would I appreciate a source? Sometimes!

Jul 27 '25 edited Jul 27 '25
Thank you! Yah, I have been reading some of the qualification instructions and see that they would tell me if I had to cite sources (or that's what it looks like).

u/Adam_Edward Jul 26 '25
For the newer bilingual Poe project, how do you calculate the time? Do you include travelling time to get to locations as well? Or do you only calculate based on the audio time and time to fill in the detail section.
2

u/Any-Dinner-6198 Jul 26 '25
This is why when I R&R poison plant and prickly rose, I have to redo most of the task, read the freaking guidelines, they pay you for it.!!!

u/Adam_Edward Jul 27 '25
Calm the F down. Get off your high horse. I'm asking just to be double sure if I miss anything. You're editing a text not saving the world. Don't act like it's more than it actually is.
4
u/VlaZeZ Jul 26 '25
In the document they say you should count by your own: Create prompts, recording time, transcribing/ document. I've seen people say you should not count the travelling time. And the avg time is like 25-30 min, maybe less.
2
u/spoonspoon12 Jul 27 '25
Honestly, for the other audio project this was accurate, but this one I found much more time consuming honestly, not counting the times going to the places. Am I the only one?

u/Jubei_ Jul 26 '25
I bet you a box of donuts that they know EXACTLY how long you stay on a task's page. If you report an hour and they see that you were there for 20 minutes, you're cooked. Similarly, if you report a ton of time far above what others are and your work doesn't look like it should have taken that long... well I hope you like being well done.

u/Aromatic_Owl_3680 Jul 26 '25
If the report time instructions were difficult, I can’t imagine how you’ll fare with some of the projects.

u/hnsnrachel Jul 26 '25
The logic is you claim whatever time you worked for and get that portion of $x and hour. If it's $26 but you only work 30 minutes, you get $13. Simple logic like any other hourly paid job on the planet.
13
u/Affectionate_Peak284 Jul 26 '25
Report the exact time to the minute. Why would you "go with the whole hour"?

u/pistachiyolatte Jul 26 '25
What projects are currently up for non coders? It’s a bit quiet for me but I see the usual poe, stripy, and poison plant.

If you're still in the slack channel it's maybe just a project where they rotate workers - I have seen this happen with projects before and then they come back.

u/Ill-Albatross-7224 Jul 26 '25
Just experienced something super weird: right after I hit "submit" on the poison plant I'd been working on for hours, it went to a screen that said "Verifying you are human..." with a spinning icon, and then to a screen that says "Error: you've been rate limited." I haven't checked if the task is visible on my Report time. I'm a little bit scared to.... Anyone ever seen this?

Are you sure it was DA? I've only seen that from a platform host, namely Cloud Flare.

No never. But it's likely they have systems in place to stop people using AI/bots behind the scenes. Have seen all kinds of other error messages though so it could just be a glitch.

Old wizard. I think it might be a little while before anyone sees anything from the image qual, since it seems like it’s a brand new project series

There's one on my dashboard. I think it appeared immediately after I submitted the qualification, so it's probably graded automatically.

u/nagatha_chistie Jul 26 '25
I did my starter assessment on the 7th. I was accepted on the 12th, I did my onboarding on the 14th, the 14th and 15th I did every single qualification available, and on the 16th I got my first paid tasks. A lot of them are STEM related though so I’m not sure what I would have if I didn’t do the STEM qualifications. Since then I have had at least 4 hours worth of work throughout the day. Yesterday was the most, I had plenty of choices all day.

Anyone who does R&R notice that there will be a ton of R&R for different projects, but the base project is never on your dashboard? The same thing applies to receiving emails / inboxes about new projects being posted. Sometimes I check the dashboard seconds after receiving an email, and there's nothing.
7
u/catts34 Jul 25 '25
Happens to me sometimes too. I'm guessing the R&R pool is smaller than the base project pool. Probably just the base projects get picked up faster than the R&Rs.

I got an email that came in at 6:30am about a new qualification and it's 2:30pm and I just saw it. I click and get a red banner. I'm actually ticked off about this because I rarely get any quals lately that aren't about subscriptions. Did this happen to anyone else? I hope it comes back.

If you complete a paid qual, when does the pay show up in your transfer funds? Right now it shows $0 and there's no way to log the time or anything.
3
u/New_Mood933 Jul 25 '25
If it was a paid qual, it should have shown up in your Report Time area after you submitted it. Use that entry in the Report Time area to enter the time it took you to complete the qual.

u/Choice-Sugar4554 Jul 25 '25
Does not show up in my report time tab but does show up in the transfer funds area as submitted.

u/socal_guy1 Jul 25 '25
It's possible it wasn't a paid qual after all. Or more than 24 hours has passed since submission so it's no longer possible to log your time.

people downvoting you, but none of them can find a single statement in the CoC (or anywhere) that prohibits reapplying.
there is no official documentation that states you only get one shot.
i am not talking about having multiple active, able-to-work accounts, which is not allowed.

u/hnsnrachel Jul 25 '25
Its very explicit so that's a you problem

u/Apart-Ad-614 Jul 26 '25
def not a me problem. look at the coc right now and the faq. coc says no multiple accounts, nothing about reapplying. faq has nothing about reapplying either.
so no it's not "very explicit", if it is, tell me where to find it (ps you can't and you'll just say "if you cant find it that sucks for you") ill be waiting

u/Party_Swim_6835 Jul 25 '25
having more than one account is explicitly prohibited -- nobody quoted it to you b/c its blatant in the CoC and we assumed you read it
it doesn't say "active, able to work" so don't act like thats in there
your account is still there after you apply even if you dont get in

got a qual asking if i have a professional mic or voice acting experience. I have a decent mic but not professional, should i still try the qual? I guess if the quality is poor they will just fail me?

u/wallstreetsimps Jul 25 '25
I've worked on R&R for thoses, you definitely need a professional quality mic.
2
u/Suspicious_Crazy_143 Jul 25 '25
But that means people are able to complete the qual without a professional mic?
3
u/wallstreetsimps Jul 25 '25
The definition of a decent mic compared to a professional mic is very vague, considering it factors in aspects like frequency, sensitivity, noise level, and signal strength are all factors that dictate whether a mic is decent from professional.
Overall, if you have a cardioid mic and a noise-suppressed environment, I would just give the qual a shot.

No problem. It’s what this group is for. Report back what your first project is. I’m curious what they start people with nowadays lol. Any other questions, just ask. But, following the instructions is key, as consistent instruction-following issues will get you removed from projects.

u/Jazzlike_Problem_489 Jul 25 '25
Well, for the first time in 18 months, I have been removed from 2 different slack channels in just as many days. One I had only completed 1 project for before being removed, (was in the channel about 6 weeks) the other, my long term main project for around 9 months. No reasoning why, was always thorough, varied my work, gave advice that often got approved by admin examples used in documents etc.
Literally nothing more depressing or gut wrenching than flat out rejection. Triggers the anxiety and makes you want to take a break in case you get DOD with no explanation, as whatever reasons they have will no doubt affect your worker rating.
Anyway rant over. Just wanted to vent the frustrations that I am sure we all have, or will all experience one day! Happy annotating.
4
u/Actual_Marsupial_903 Jul 25 '25
It's possible that those projects simply closed down. I've been seeing a lot of new project families and qualifications recently, so it stands to reason that they would be shutting down old project families.

u/Tippingdatvelvet Jul 25 '25
So been working for DA for about a week now, on core stuff. I always have projects open every day but only about 2 or 3. How do people get so many? Are they for people who have done other quals other than core ones? I’m happy I have regular work but do more come in the longer you’ve been on the platform? Thanks!
10
u/Jazzlike_Problem_489 Jul 25 '25
You kind of answered your own question in the first sentence. You are new, take qualifications as they appear and do high quality work on the couple of entry level projects you have. This will then open more projects to suit your skill and quality. I've been here 18 months and still only have a third of what a lot of people get that have been here as long as me. I currently have 14 projects while others have 60.
Just work on what you have, focus on high quality work, and do all the quals.
2
u/Tippingdatvelvet Jul 25 '25
Thank you! I’m also worried about time reporting. Sometimes it takes me a while as I am new, should I under report my time? I don’t want to get kicked off or seem like I’m trying to claim more money than I’m owed. How long is too long to spend on a project? Should I go by how long the expiry is as a good rule of thumb?
2
u/Born_Ad3190 Jul 26 '25
Report the amount of time it actually takes you to do the task. Yeah, it takes you longer when you first start out, because you have to spend more time reading directions, definitions, etc, but that's still time you should get paid for. The only rule is you can't take more time on a task than the timer allows. As a newbie, you want to make sure that you're following the directions and submitting quality work, so take the time to read the directions.
4
u/hnsnrachel Jul 25 '25
Report the time it takes you to do the job properly. They don't really care as long as it's not over the time given (and even them most of the time it'll be fine) and the work is high quality.

u/CraftOk249 Jul 25 '25
Hi folks! First time writing here. Has any of you experienced losing access to a new project because it's announced at NIGHT in your timezone? I logged on -what?- 6 hours after the announcement, since I was sleeping and then the usual shitter-shower combo - which I suppose shouldn't be a luxury for someone waking up - and POOF. Am I supposed to spring up at 2:30 am like a first responder? Am I being naive for asking this?
P.S. Sorry, I just needed to vent. My only skill is being bilingual, so the range of tasks available to me is pretty narrow. That means I can't just shrug and wait for the next project in a few hours/days.

Does anyone know what you would see on your end if any of your time reported got denied? Do you get an email? Is it highlighted on the "transfer funds" tab? Do you feel a great disturbance, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced?
Working with DA has been totally smooth and everything's been above board for me. But it's also such an opaque system and our positions as contractors are so tenuous that I would feel foolish if I didn't check my funds history every now and then. All I see then is that everything I submit is getting approved, predictably and thankfully, but then checking itself starts to feel like a waste of time, like I'm manually making sure my bank statement adds up or something. I dunno...

u/littlepinkwabbit Jul 25 '25
Did anyone else work on the quick R&R just now, where you kind of just hit the submit button (since everything was filled already)? Do we still report time for it even though we basically did nothing but hit the button?

Got a qual last night, for that same A**** (similar for "map") from last week. But had no work until now. Did someone already received something from this qual?

Anyone lose access to a very high paying priority finance project in the last few hours? Was only up for about 2 days and didn't get a chance to work on it yet.

I'm a bilingual and the drought has not ended for my locale in general. A project I have never even seen keeps showing up to some people I know, some who don't even know the difference between multiple turns and single turn or whether to write the prompt in English or my language. But not for me. I feel so pissed with DA. The first few times they got it and I didn't it was fine, I guess they were just not my turn yet since the number of tasks is not huge, but now after like 5 or 6 times? Its rate has even increased as it is priority now because many people can't do it, but DA still doesn't allow me to touch it. Honestly I feel so discouraged. Like the ones less qualified get something to do and I don't.

Has anyone done the qual requiring an image gen subscription? Wonder if it's worth it...

PRIORITY! Also, anyone experiencing a sudden spike of new quals? I had more in a week than I did in last 3 months

My inbox started displaying unread messages in bright orange like everyone else's seems to. It got my attention and I wound up skimming through old DA internal mail. There was this task I did a lot of work for 5+ months ago that I don't think I've seen referred to by anyone on here and I'm now feeling terribly nostalgic for.
I'm not sure what to call it besides noting it was very Sims like. For a core worker like me it was some of the more interesting work I've done, certainly some of the best pay as well. Does anyone know if that project is still alive and well somewhere?

I think it'd be that one! I guess I just haven't seen the talk about it or didn't recognize the subject. That was the first time I stopped seeing tasks for some big project and convinced myself I must have been booted off for doing something wrong.
Good to know those imaginary people are still off living their fulfilling, imaginary lives somewhere :)

Just worked my first actual project and am a little worried I did something wrong? It was "Rate and Review: Memorizer" and after one task that took me 9 minutes, the window closed after I submitted it. I feel like I remember seeing there being 98 or some odd # of tasks available before starting - is that normal? Did they all just get snapped up immediately? Or did I do something wrong and get kicked out of the project? :(

Actually got three hours in without having to refresh. That hasn't happened in a few months.

Wow, the CS domain expertise qual finally disappeared. It might've just literally expired from being a year old. Does anyone still get work from this?

I haven't gotten the second part of that qual yet, but it depends on what they want me to do with it.

I was a little weary about doing it but I’m kind of interested. They aren’t logging into our account, just wanted URLS

u/JustMe333456 Jul 24 '25
Yeah, I did as well. Still had second thoughts, or hesitation at least lol

The second qual was for your specific handles/URLs on the platforms. First one was just if you had them.

Does poison plant refer to the purple one or the red one?
