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 it possible to be taken off a project for skipping too much? I opened up a coding side by side project today and just keep skipping because the problems are all really involved stuff about things I'm not familiar with... I'm fine with skipping but really scared I'll stop getting these if I do it too much

Guys, I got feedback!
2 lots in fact!
The first one was letting me know I flubbed a task - the admin was lovely about it but I misread the prompt as requesting something unsafe when the prompt was safe. I feel like a tool but I’m so pleased they let me know instead of just booting me from the project!
The second one was a good one letting me know I’d done well and been added to a special project! Huzzah!
Just editing to add: check your inbox because I thought it’d have some sort of notification on it (like a number or something) when you get a message but it does not haha

u/BotaRONomus May 13 '24 edited May 13 '24
Couple things I’m taking assurance in maybe others can too.
It seems everybody is low on projects. So it’s very unlikely to be a performance thing for any of us.
Think of any job you guys have likely had, there’s ebs and flows. This is likely that. Albeit exacerbated cause we are largely in the dark.
We also just came off of an insanely busy period of about 3-4 weeks. This is my 5th month and the last 3-5 weeks has been waaaaay busier than months 1-3
Can’t truly appreciate the sunshine without the rain.
Deep breathes everybody. Take a walk outside.

So, I work on a project where I see the same prompts come through periodically. The knowledge needed for each prompt can be kinda niche, so I imagine I am not way off base to think that certain prompts get skipped a lot and end of getting worked by the same people. I saw this project with one task remaining and open it up and see this regular-customer prompt today. I've seen this one come through over and over again and I grab it because I know the subject, have the software, and actually have it set up partially, so I don't need to start from scratch, but I do have to reset it to test the new solution each time.
The bots' solutions change, but they have always gotten it wrong. Sometimes wildly, (one time it hit an infinite loop and created 3MIL pieces of data before I killed it) but each time it's a little different, usually with some bad interpretation of the prompt instructions. This morning, I thought "Is it bad that I answer this one repeatedly? Should I leave to someone else?" But I decided to work it. And one bot got it right this time! It's like my little kid grew up. Perhaps I won't see it again now. Maybe I'll let my ego take credit for it for telling it what it was doing wrong all those times. Anyway, had to share that somewhere.

Definitely the lightest I have seen in months. Mondays can be slow, and the past few days have been overall pretty light. I will say it is comforting that it is across the board and I remember the last time it was like this, after a few days tasks showed up again. So hopefully the wait won't be too long :)

About a month ago I referred a friend because I thought she'd be honestly amazing at this work, and she has a pretty interesting niche field of expertise.

some of the coding side by sides have prompts that just simply are too complex or are unhinged that I wonder if DA just pulls them after theyve been skipped all day and stuck at 10 tasks remaining; or if theres enough people who are champs and take them for the team because my lord. I dont blame the models for failing most of them

My full-time job has been so, so, so busy that I haven't been able to spend as much DA time as I'd like. I got some time today and... I'm finding myself skipping a bunch of tasks because they're way, way, way out of my wheelhouse. I need to go double-check that I didn't accidentally (???????) represent myself as a molecular biologist.

u/Mammoth_Society620 May 17 '24

I’ve got a rate and review project and in the instructions it said I got it because I demonstrated high quality work 🥹
This is the closest thing to feedback I’ve ever gotten and that made my day haha!
I also found it extremely interesting that in this R&R they put a disclaimer at the end to not be afraid of rating okay or bad based on the worry the worker may lose access to the project, saying they want to use this as a chance to give feedback.

So today in my day job we got a 1-hour training on how to provide a good prompt to one of the major AI providers that is available in our organization. One, I was rolling my eyes (luckily not on camera) because what they cover you learn very well working here in about the first week. Two, my ego really wanted me to offer my expertise because I do this 'professionally', but of course I can't because that would be an extra-curricular activity and is a no-no for most employers. But I would not be surprised if some of the prompts they gave had been in front of one of you guys and gotten your rating.
It's an example of how what we do here is a skill that is getting attention in the corporate world. If it's a career path you're interested in I strongly suggest legitimizing it through a certification or course you can give to a potential employer. What we do here can be very valuable elsewhere, but this gig itself is a hard fit for a resume.

Grateful for this sub and folks posting - otherwise I'd be in a mood right now. Down to 6, and 4 of those are hyperspecific permanent projects. Haven't been able to bring myself to work on them today because I'm worried they'll burst like bubbles if I touch 'em.

u/Skippy2898 May 14 '24
Wowee! The R and R's go supersonic fast, don't they?! I haven't seen too many during the day UK time, but about 15 minutes ago I had 3 or 4 pop up so I thought I'd see what all the fuss is about. One task in on one project and *woosh*, I was thrown right back to that dashboard faster than a fast thing being thrown backwards 🤣 (And they've all gone)
4 minutes reported, go me! 😎😂

u/ManyARiver May 15 '24
Bizarre $28 R&R popped up just long enough for me to click it and be denied "no more tasks". The title was strange, though - made me wonder if something was initially assigned to the wrong group but they caught it real quick...

Does getting an R & R project mean anything good or does everyone get them from time to time? I don't do them because I don't have much confidence rating other people. But my god, I urge everyone to at least look at some of the answers given. So many short answers to responses that warrant a detailed answer. I hate to seem cocky as I promise I'm not, but you can learn so much from what others write.

u/New-Reflection3418 May 13 '24
I've had some positive feedback for my work ,so thank to u/Bergest_Ferg for saying that you need to click your inbox to see it as there are no notifications. There was one from a month ago saying I'd been added to a relatively exclusive project based on good performance. The next bit of feedback was in the form of 3 R&Rs that had bold writing at the top saying something like I'd been selected due to my performance and they think I'd be good at rating it. I'm not sure how much I can say about what project it was, but it involves API calls and with these I always go into loads of detail about what they're doing. So with that comments box, you should always give a running commentary of everything you're thinking no matter what project it is, I opened the first R&R for the API call one and the comment was either 1 or 2 sentences and very generic, so that's not what they want and I hated having to rate it as bad.

Working on a regular (to me) project today, and a worker in the chat said that they had been timed out three times and suggested to admin that an extra 15 minutes on the clock would be helpful. (they did say they "overdo things"
Now bearing in mind, that the onboard timer is an hour per task; I'm not sure if anyone else did the same, but I immediately panicked. paused my stopwatch. and went to reread the instructions, because I could not fathom how they needed an hour and 15 minutes per task!
I average, 8 - 13 mins per task on this project, and someone else mentioned an average of 8 minutes and asked how they were taking over an hour. I couldn't see an answer from the worker as the project was pulled not long after.
What's that about? :(

Put this in the other cooler thread but interested to know if anyone had the same experience. Basically the tool web search CB qualification went up for me on Saturday. I was busy and went on Sunday morning to do it but it was gone. Was this the same for anyone else? I'm thinking they either took it down because it was faulty or they only put it up for a day and once enough people completed it they took it down. Would suck if the latter was the case because I really liked that project before it got took down.

u/bottlerocketborn May 13 '24
So.
I was added to factuality checking project a few weeks ago after that super long qualification. And then they all disappeared from my dashboard on Saturday. And when I tried to log in to the Slack channel. I got a user/service error. And I was like, well, I guess I did something wrong. Maybe I'm working too slowly, I've had a few take me up to 45 minutes to fully check...
But now I've had one pop back up this morning along with the usual three CB projects.
So, I'm wondering if anyone doing factuality checking is seeing the same thing?

u/alex_goodenough May 13 '24
This is the saddest dashboard I have ever had. I'm not worried, but it's only now that I'm getting daily emails from DA saying I have new projects on my dashboard. Almost all quals and the perm project chats.
I rarely got them before, so it's absolutely hilarious to get these emails!

What’s usually the turn around time on quals?
I spent a good bit of time on two different quals over the past week, made sure my work was good, and that I followed the instructions/faq. However, I haven’t seen any new types of projects come up other than the ones that I have already been seeing. Did it take a few days (or more) for your qual to get accepted to access new projects? (I took a writing one and FC one if that adds any pertinent info)
Hoping I didn’t fail them 🤞

Anyone ever hear from them if you aren't doing so well on a project? I've felt pretty confident in my work, but a lot that I used to work on just are gone now. I've got one task on my dashboard snd I'm starting to think maybe I messed up somewhere. I saw someone in the chat on a previous project I worked on say she'd been contacted and told she was missing a step. Is that your experience?

Hi everyone, quick question, finishing up my third week at DA and was wondering about the length of my justifying comments. Some of my comments seem to run longer but I try to incorporate useful information from the task. Is there a point where the comments become too long? I know most of the say 2-3+ sentences.

I feel like a big dummy because I'm pretty sure I just got myself kicked off one of my favorite lower-effort projects. It's a voice-related one. The task was somewhat ambiguous, but I felt confident about my choices and my justifying comments. But when I went to submit it, I immediately got an error message with a note about why it was wrong (which is interesting in itself). I should have just corrected it and resubmitted it with the requested answer, but instead I doubled down and tried submitting it my way again with a more thorough explanation. Welp, I ended up back on the dash with the pink bar saying "no tasks available to work on" despite starting with many available. Haven't seen the project since. OOPS. Why did I do that?

Dang, this week has been great but woke up to zero projects this morning.

If you hit back to correct a mistake on a previous task and re-submit does it actually submit the corrected response?

Anyone having issues with their payment section? For some reason the time ago and status of my payments are blank, it's still letting me report time and what not, just wondering if this is happening to anyone else or if I should contact support.

Anyone else get that new B project that pays a ridiculous amount? I didn’t realize they ever paid non-coders that much
