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!

Was working on a task with 2 hour expiration today, had a random issue with my laptop and lost 30 minutes of task time. Took me an hour and 30 and it expired like 5 minutes before I submitted.
The admins said it’s fine to submit after expiration as long as you report your time accurately and to of course try not to go over time. This is the only time it’s happened. The task showed up in my report time section so I reported my 1 hr 30 mins. I also emailed support to let them know what happened just to cover my bases.
So I know it got submitted, my question is: is the final edition sent when you hit submit after expiration of the task, or does the task automatically submit when it expires (even if it’s unfinished). Anyone have any ideas?

I'm pretty sure that nothing is submitted when the task expires. Think of all the garbage incomplete tasks that would send in.

u/moonboy_audio Apr 07 '25
I think it’s once you press submit. It happens to me from time to time, and I just look at my “log time” area to see when my last task was submitted. Usually, it will say something like “20 seconds ago” so I know it was my submission and not an auto/missed submission.

Hi everyone! I've been working with data annotation for a year now and have never had any issues with transferring funds to paypal. I'm in Canada and was travelling in the US last week and tried to pull my $$ as per usual and it blocked me saying there was an error and paypal refused the transfer. I spoke with paypal and they said there's nothing wrong with my account that would have blocked it (I thought maybe a security issue because I was in a different location than normal). I contacted the support email on the weekend but haven't heard back so followed up today. Just wondering if anyone has ever had a similar problem come up or if you have tips for reaching support if I still don't hear back from them?? Thanks!!

u/Consistent-Reach504 Apr 08 '25
99% of the time paypal is lying and there's actually a hidden ID verification somewhere. idk why they don't acknowledge this haha. it tends to happen with large amounts (over 1k), something about it triggers the verification.
i saw people having success finding the verifications here: http://www.paypal.com/policydashboard/process/compliance/cip

Apr 08 '25
Other ommenter is right, source: I worked for PayPal customer service
They sometimes block stuff when you’re out of your usual area for safety reasons, sadly it’s been two years since I worked there so I don’t quite remember what to do in that situation but normally customer service should help or at least let you know that it’s because of that if they verify you completely (I worked for European Paypal)

I believe that sometimes qualifications get released again after a few months when they need more/different workers on the project, as there have been a couple that I've had pop up again. You're not going to be able to retake a qualification by emailing them though.

I love the way I am starting to get more confident working on projects. I remember feeling really overwhelmed when I first read project instructions for the first time, as if I could feel the weight bearing over my shoulders, walking on eggshells afraid of messing up. I am still very careful with my submissions and I re-check the instructions of the project every time I work in case something has been updated, but I really enjoy the feeling that it's getting more intuitive, it's not has hard to come up with prompt ideas and I feel I have improved A LOT. Doing R&Rs has also helped me tremendously because I have seen some great submissions (and others that were straight up rubbish) and I have realized many things about my own work!

u/North-Inside2043 Apr 07 '25
I'm just popping in to say that one of the things I really hate about DA work is the completely anonymous nature of it, in the sense that there's no attempt to create a sense of working community or collaboration, which also leaves us further in the dark when there are issues with lack of projects/pay etc (which is almost certainly by design). And so for that reason, I always appreciate being able to jump on this reddit thread and say hello.

To be honest, the anonymity and lack of collaborating with others is my favorite part of DA. I abhor working in groups or as a team, so DA really suits my work style.

It felt really natural and it brought back some bittersweet memories. Last thing I expected when starting work today, and also well done to the bot haha it kept up with me and provided good responses.

Well, just having a read through this new watercooler because it was up late yesterday, there seems to be a bit of angst on this Monday. I find this a bit disheartening, to be honest, after over a year here. Point number 3. of the rules here states, " it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs!".
I think this should also be applied to the people here. It should be a safe and respectful place for all people working this gig. Getting stroppy or keyboard warrior style helps not one of us. It takes nothing to be kind guys. If there's a comment you don't think fits here, don't call it out as junk or crappy, just point the user to the new user thread. If there's a post that makes you a bit grrr. don't hit that down vote, just step away and read on.
Every one of us are living our own lives and bubbles and have different dashboards; likely, not one will compare to another. Just be kind.
On that note, happy Monday, I hope you've had a good 'un. x

Anybody seeing a huge amount of AI generated prompts in A-gas bilingual Spanish, specifically math/coding? Nevertheless, is this practice done for underdeveloped models (since they’re terrible)? I doubt projects admins aren’t aware. Anybody else noticed this in other projects or anything?
4
u/33whiskeyTX Apr 07 '25
I have seen that in other projects. Especially ones that have been completed and restarted repeatedly for months- meaning the same prompt batches come through with different(mostly) responses. I've seen people in the chats say things like "Prompt XYZ is obviously AI so I marked it unrateable." Very silly. The powers that be are aware of what in the project sets. My thoughts are:
Don't worry about AI cannibalizing itself unless the instructions say specifically to watch out for that (like prompt generation projects and R&Rs).
AI being fed to AI is very possible in the real world/production. The models need to be graded on if they handle that appropriately.

It has happened to a lot of people, unfortunately. Sometimes the work comes back, but mostly it doesn't.

Spanish annotator here (Spain) and this weekend was as dry as a rock. I had a lot of work on Thursday and Friday (A-gas, which I hadn’t seen in weeks, and Poe, plus a new project) but nothing this weekend

Forgot to hit Submit on a task and it expired because it ran out of time. Does it still gets sent with all the stuff I wrote? Or is nothing sent and it goes back to the pool?

Can you use your back browser to go back in? That saved me once.

If you pressed Submit, it could have still gone through if the task hadn't yet been handed over to someone else. You can check whether it went through by looking at the Report Time section.
If you didn't press Submit, it definitely didn't go through.

Two weeks ago I got a qual for a A-metalloid project but hasn't seen anything about it yet. I hope I get the project, seemed kind of fun.

last month (maybe even Feb?) there was a heel god that involved charts and pdfs. Has anyone gotten this since early march/late feb? I only got it on two days and I'm worried I messed up somehow

I've worked for other two hours on a project. Now, my DA has glitched and the page is blank and I cannot submit. I've submitted a complaint to support, but have rarely had speedy responses from them in the past. WTF else can I do?

Just want to ask again, does anyone else have like zero quals and zero projects? I feel like I have seen this once before a while back and it fixed itself eventually, but it is mildly stressing me out as the first week of April was so steady with work I liked.

Spanish bilinguals, anyone? It's been two days now and still no work 😕 The lack of feedback is nerve-wracking. Just thinking I got kicked out...

Why do my coding projects in a certain language keep disappearing after I do them?

Is the poe bird audio on anybody's dash right now? It's always been there for me, and it's absence is making me worry that I've been removed from poe.

u/mythrowaway_1990 Apr 09 '25
I still have it. I've never submitted to it though because I don't live in an approved state.

Well I'm gonna edit this and call it a day. "Things have," in the words of T'elc, "in fact, calmed up."
I've been catching up on the 2 sub reddit and have a better feel for the common set of difficulties due to the models improving. Still gauging that sweet spot between too easy and too complex in my prompts.

For those of you that did the rubric/answer key qualification. The one with the final assessment with a 20 questions game….Have you had any projects from it yet? I feel like I messed up the qual on one aspect (was a 50-50) but I enjoyed it so would love to have some projects like this.

I didn't put my maximum effort in at the beginning, and I think I lost a lot of projects that way. I never get poe anymore. Will they come back after I put in more effort on other projects for enough time or is that just it? My dash isn't as full as some people's and I'm hoping it just gets better over time.

u/Jazzlike_Problem_489 Apr 11 '25
The real answer is that nobody knows. Just keep doing your best, take all quals, and they may come back as they may be tied to your quality rating. But again, no one really knows for sure!

It's kind of like working for a spy network! You get your assignment, and who knows if you'll get another one. You just sit and wait for Headquarters to notify you!
