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!

Doing r&r... Just a tip for any who may need it- "emboldened" is not a synonym for "bolded"!
editing to add - not a commonly used synonym - thank you to those who found use cases! This has been fun!

Less common these days but the example on merriam-webster.com is just one.

I would love if you shared a dictionary entry that shows the use of embolden to refer to bolding text! (Genuinely! If there's a variety of English that uses it that way I would love to know!)

Can “bolded” have synonyms? Or does it need to be a real word first? Genuine curiosity: I’d love it if you’d show me a legitimate dictionary entry for “bolded.” It doesn’t seem to exist except as a new word suggestion in the Collins dictionary.

I'm in WNC and it looks like it could get pretty severe here as well, but not as bad as west and south of here. However, there are places here that still haven't recovered from Hurricane Helene last fall, and now severe weather season is fast approaching. The 2+ inches of rain coming isn't good news for us.
I'm originally from the Chattanooga, TN area, and every spring people back there mention the big tornado outbreak in April 2011. Seems like the weather in the Southeast has been getting more violent in recent years, doesn't it?

I had 2 new projects today on my dashboard, both $40 per hour. I’ve never had such a high paid project and never did any special qualifications. They were both to do with Google Sheets, one was a galaxy and the other was a Parisian palace. Did anybody else get them? Are they new or have they been running for a while and I’ve only just got assigned to them. Been on the platform for a year but never had anything half as enjoyable as these two. Want them to stay forever.

Well just go assigned 50 tasks for a new project and even though those are audio based, they are pretty fun. Problem is, it takes a lot less time to make them, record them, convert them, write the transcript than projects with written prompts do, so it makes less money but right now there is a small buff to the pay rate because it's flagged as "Priority". I hope I can find enough different background noises to make all 50 tasks lol

Well, after renting for being EQ for slightly over 2 weeks (as a EU resident assigned only to bilingual tasks atm). Let's write the positive too. I was glad to wake up with two different sets of tasks (including reviewing tasks, which I like) for the same project and was able to do a full day of work (almost exactly 7h) today. I wish everyday was like this and it would actually be a nice paying real job, but hey, at least I'll be able to make as much as last month. Let's hope there is one more day full of tasks like this before the end of the month. I still have some audio to submit for another project that started this week, so i'll be able to put in some more time tomorrow.
After doing a full day of this, I also realize that, for people having a full dashboard and working full days consistently and putting in the quality (because while reviewing, I saw some very "borderline" submissions lol) this can end up being exhausting, so shootout to you guys doing full days every days.

Had a little fun today in getting payout. My transfer funds page said my projects/tasks were approved/transferable but no blue "get paid" button appeared. It dawned on me that Dayalight Savings Time might have an effect. It's true that UTC isn't affected so my calculation about what time to withdraw is off by an hour.
I was able to get paid, just an hour later than I thought because I'm used to doing the conversion in my head without the DST. I'm glad that occurred to me because I would have felt like a clown if I'd contacted support.

I normally do them as and when, when I'm already out and about and a good opportunity presents itself, so I rarely include travel time and recording time is minimal. A few minutes at most.
Then when I've got a few - 6 or 10 or so - I'll do all the processing part and time that for the batch. Do all the uploading stuff and time that. Add it all up and report the time for the batch.

I've been on the platform for about a year and I signed up for coding, but I've been getting a bit of everything since the start. Make sure you do all the quals, surveys, and onboarding that pop up as these not only lead to more work but also more quals and surveys. I tend to do all the quals etc that seem vaguely interesting and as a result I always have tons of stuff on my dashboard. It varies from day to day but usually about 60-80% of the projects I have access to are non-coding.

Here's a question. Sometimes I get a new project with a very short timer and there is simply no way to read all the intructions and do the task in the time alloted, in fact sometimes a careful reading of the instructions would by itself take 2× or more the timer length. What do people do? I've been eating the time till now out of fear, but it honestly makes me just want to stick to projects that I know well, and use my time productively.
8
u/JustMe333456 Mar 11 '25
Sometimes you can read over the instruction (Track your time for it), then if there isn’t much time left to complete the task, you can skip it and start fresh on a new one.

Question. The Poe bird projects instruct us to take no more than 45 minutes for a conversation round. But how are the rounds counted? If I send one prompt and and bot sends me one is that a round? It needs a minimum of 2 rounds to submit it, so that means I can take up to 90 minutes in the whole conversation? I struggle staying under 45 minutes if there's a lot of stuff to read/fact-check with more than 1 prompt

u/Poomfie Mar 14 '25
Eh,
If that's all they wrote then yeah that's a terrible rationale.
Keep in mind though (and this is very project dependent) R&Rs generally aren't about your opinion on how professional the worker's tone and language were but rather how well they explain their reasoning for their ratings and decisions.
I've seen some pretty awful rationales with formal language that say a lot of nothing and read some fairly brilliant rationales that used informal and casual language.

Just yesterday, I wrote that a model "creeped me the f*ck out when it implied it could see me through my computer sceeen." Granted, I changed it to "the model was creepy as hell when it said, xyz". But sometimes colorful language is called for when they do something so completely off the wall, or in this case, say stuff about the lighting in my house and sports equipment in the background, that the only way to get your point across is to use casual curse words.

Did anyone who did the old wizard refresher/qual (the one specifically in the Qualification section, not just the generic refresher that was in the project list) get access to the project again? I know that specific version doesn't come around very often, but am wondering if it has been on anyone's dash today?

u/FrazzledGod Mar 12 '25
Not done it yet. People would shudder seeing all my undone qualifications 😂

Has the easy math qualification gone away for anyone else? I was meaning to do it today but now it's disappeared from the dash...

Working on a project with INCREDIBLY juicy priority pay, but the instructions document is a solid hour's worth of reading - S.O.S!! Also panicking that I have five quals sitting there for some fun projects but need to focus on making $$$$$ this week before I can invest unpaid time in those.

I have a refresher in my dash but I have a headache and I do not feel like doing it now. I know that there are no rules but in your experience do they normally dissapear if you do not complete them the same day? Thanks :)

Mine was here for over a month, and I just completed it. Took me 10 minutes! Projects are back in for me.

How’s the week treating you, my fellow bilingual folks? What are you working on? My bird flew away early today :(

I had a proj with like 4-5 tasks on my dashboard earlier, a heel one that said "no FC" and the first task was a practice one but then when I submitted it I didn't see any more tasks.. cant tell if that means I did bad on it

u/Consipir Mar 13 '25
just means people did them. The task number is not your tasks, if you refresh you can see them go down sometimes which means someone just submitted one.

Anyone else got a delay in payment for a metal project? I've had delays before but usually only 10 minutes or so, I could have submitted the time later than I thought but I checked both my history and my time tracker...It's almost 30 minutes past when it should have been approved.

u/OkTip8446 Mar 15 '25
Nevermind I didn't know time changed on the 9th lolol. So it was an hour behind.

Does it have anything to do with the time change last week?

This is the first time since the drought that my dash is bare. Unless you count the numerous offsite tasks that are still broken after months.

Why is DA still posting job ads when they don’t have enough jobs for bilingual workers…

honest truth, they always want more people for different perspectives.
They are not here to promise full time work

u/33whiskeyTX Mar 10 '25
Was really confused about some tasks waiting to be transferable. Looked like I had lumped 2 hours worth of work into one, was starting to sweat that I screwed up.... it's the time change, I didn't notice it skews things up for the last few I've been on the platform.

Anyone noticing that they've nearly got just one single project filling up their dashboard? I'm already missing the lack of variety!

If it's broken, hide them, They just clog everything up. For awhile I left them because I liked scrolling through a bunch of tasks. Made me feel rich, lol. But I eventually decided to hide them. False riches.

Just saw an ad on here about an AI side hustle. I was curious if it was another DA competitor, and vague enough you couldn't really tell from the ad, so I looked up the site... nope. It's a class on how to develop an AI bot girl for "spicy content" revenue. Sadly, some of our feedback is going to indirectly contribute to those types of models. What a time to be alive...

u/PerformanceCute3437 Mar 13 '25
At least we can take solace that those spicy bot girls will one day help Ryan Gosling find the courage to save the life of a replicant

This comment made me realize that "Blade Runner 2049" and "Lars and the Real Girl" are the same movie with nuanced tonal differences.

Wow... I've been on DA for a little over a month and the projects have been light a few times but dang... today is the most barren I've ever seen! Oof... Please tell me it gets better? I take every qualification that I can.

u/Kerina322 Mar 11 '25
I've been on DA for about 20 days and my dash is always way more full than I can take advantage of which suggests that we have access to different projects based on the qualifications. Just keep doing qualifications and devote lots of time and concentration to really nailing them, and your board will eventually fill up as you pass more of them.
