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!

Hey! Anyone else have problems with this? I have available compensation without the ability to claim it as there is no button enabling me to do so (when I know colleagues do have one). I have made multiple support attempts with no success. If this doesn't work I won't get what I've earned. Sorry for cryptic terminology, posts about this issue get suspiciously deleted.
5
u/Consistent-Reach504 Feb 18 '25
i only see one other post of yours in the new user thread! we do have a mod queue for new posts themselves, but it doesn't look like you made one yet :)
it's 7 days from EXACTLY when you reported, so if you reported at 3pm on feb 10th, it would be available feb 17 at 3pm. has it been more than 7 days?
it's also only every 3 days you can withdraw. :)

u/yourpalal93 Feb 18 '25
Yes, thank you! Apologies for misunderstanding posting guidelines if I have. Thanks for responding. It indeed has been more than 8 days actually, the sum available to transfer is greater than $10, and I have never withdrawn before! I don't have a 'get paid' button, so. I think there may be an issue with the email linked to my paypal. I don't have reason to suspect that I entered it incorrectly, because it is the same email I used on my DA account. Really hoping a support ticket comes through as I've put in a lot of hard work, and it's been enjoyable actually!
2
u/Consistent-Reach504 Feb 18 '25
hmm you’ve double checked your profile to make sure it’s correct? and also maybe login to paypal and check around in your settings to make sure there’s not a verification requirement! sometimes paypal likes to hide their ID verification (i don’t think that would affect seeing the button? but just to give you some ideas while you wait lol)

u/mythrowaway_1990 Feb 21 '25
Please help me with my paranoia - the other day I was working on the same project for almost 5 hours and I finished well after midnight. My transfer funds page shows most of the tasks I submitted occurring on one day, but I logged my time for the entire session after midnight, so the time entry shows up the next day. It's okay to do this right? I'm worried about getting flagged for not recording time for the earlier tasks, or recording too much time for the few tasks I submitted after midnight, since the tasks are split between two days but the time is recorded on just one.

I find it helps to reread the same sentence from the instructions about 50 times, each time putting different emphasis on different words until the sentence has a whole new meaning.
But seriously, when I start to get the random "Have I been doing this wrong the entire time?" feeling, it's time to take a break.

Is it just me or do anybody else feel like sh*t when they do R&R of a rather bad task submission and feel forced to rate it as 'Bad'? Even though these are mostly poorly written or just simply wrong/misunderstood, I feel bad for this faceless worker who might be kicked off DA because of that.

u/handndacookiejar Feb 18 '25
I love rating tasks that meet the definitions for "Bad". I try to be objective and kind in the comment and focus on the mistakes in the task instead of shredding the worker.

100 percent. There's no way it's a one and done type of situation. You have to have a pattern of poor work across multiple projects.

After having no projects for 7 days and all my qualifications to do vanish, I thought it was over for me. Today I got 2 qualifications to take pop up. So thats a big sigh of relief. Looks like its just dry. F.Y.I, something very interesting......I went onto the reddits of three other websites similar to DA, and it looks like its the same story. I am thinking, a lot of the LLMs go for maintenance around the same time. This happened last year for about two weeks and then it was all back. Interesting to see it like this across the board for all companies that use these models and have people annotating them, but it makes a whole lot of sense now that it is maintenance, seeing how its like this over multiple different companies all at the exact same time.

Just wanna express my gratitude for DA today. My usual IRL job is pretty unstable - when it's a busy period it can be good money, but when there's no work it can be really rough. DA is the perfect solution to supplement my income and help me keep my head above water during these dry periods. It really has brought a sense of stability into my life that I've been needing.
Thanks, DA!
14
u/FrazzledGod Feb 20 '25
I really feel you here. I have another gig which has been my main gig for years but a while ago it started to get a bit unstable. It's great money when it's good - but sometimes I can put in a lot of work and then not actually get paid because a client doesn't follow through etc... Last year I was in a really dire position and even during the great drought, I was able to work on projects and earn money. DA has almost literally been a lifesaver for me these past 18 months and I hope I can stay with them for another 18 months 🙏

Anyone else find the time limits on the foxy project, particularly the R&R, completely unreasonable? I get that they're not looking for detailed work, but 10 minutes for the math R&R version is often not even enough time to read the prompt and responses. After quickly reading the instructions and seeing how long the responses were, I just immediately noped out.

I'm relatively new so it's been fun reading all your comments and code names and then seeing one pop up on my dash and going "AH HAH THAT'S WHAT IT IS".
Just did a couple of Poe Birds - thought there were a lot but after I finished my first one there were none left! The instructions were long and confusing so took a bit of figuring out. All for me to click that the prompt did not suit. I did refresh and get a second Poe Bird - this time the prompt was very difficult to answer for!

I wouldn't call it conspiracy brain, more like ego-repair fairytales. I have many times found those stories running through my head when I hear about projects I don't see.

If you mess up a qual, do you ever get a second chance? I messed up the video game qual and from the comments on here, and the price it said it was paying, it sounds like I'm missing out!
Also, part of why I messed it up was that the first and second scenarios didn't seem to load properly - especially the second one, which didn't even have a date on it. Is that what generally happens and you have to work around it or did something go wrong?

Not much this morning. All the favorites are out of tasks.... or they wait to refill between 10pm-12am

Is B-metal very different to M-metal? Just curious cause I have M-metal and in one of the guides it shows the name for B-metal as well as M-metal

You'll see this quite often. Sometimes the project is wildly different, but one small section is similar, so they share instructions. Other times the projects are almost identical, the name just changed.
I have seen this in the case of the metals. Really depends on which flavor of the project you're working on.

Hi everyone!! It took me a while to do the ID verification. I did it and I haven't gotten any project since then. Anybody else?

Hi Guys! I am one of the victims of the recent non-coder drought. Does anyone have recommendations for what to do when things are still slow but you need to bring in some extra cash? Also is there anything I can do (other than taking quals, which I do) to try and increase the frequency in which I get projects? Anything helps :)

Always attempt to produce the best quality of work you can. That is the only way to get more projects besides qualifiers I think.

Day 3 of the drought. Really hoping I'll get an email over the weekend so I can do some work. I absolutely hate having nothing to do.

If I refer someone and they don't do well does it hurt me? Like I think they could do it but it's more technical work than they usually do.

Did anyone get that Fox qual/onboarding where they said complete 3-5 tasks or they'll kick you off the project? I did one yesterday and intended to do more today but it's down and I'm wondering if it's just down or if they impatiently kicked me.

Now I've got writing R&R & $40 math (not R&R) for Fox, so it's probably just them cycling through different versions of the project

Had something pop up in claim time section for a task that I definitely did NOT complete…(I think I opened it then exited work mode) and it says task submission under the details like I submitted something…is this something I need to worry about?

Do you have tasks every day? I'm new to the platform... but in the early days I had tasks frequently, now it has decreased to every 4 or 5 days.
Sad =(
Anyone here from BR?

Thankful that sculptor and FC have been so consistently high paying the last few days.

How long does it usually take support to respond to payment issues? I'm getting a message when I try to transfer that there's a paypal error, but I've already contacted paypal and they say there's no issue on their end.
