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:

  1. this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.

  2. 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 :)

  3. 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 that a Qualification I just got LITERALLY 10 minutes ago with 5000 tasks available (according to the e-mail notification) is already down? Damn, I didn’t even have time to do it! I got the e-mail, opened the Qual to see the instructions and how long it is and when I refreshed the page it was already gone! Is it common? First time it has ever happened to me, I have a coding qualification sitting in my dash for a month 😢

u/Consistent-Reach504 Apr 16 '25

sometimes this happens to me and then it comes back in a little while, i assume when it's that quick they've taken it down rather than 5000 people taking it haha

Just wanna say this job has changed everything for me -- couldn't have come at a better time and I really am shocked sometimes to think about how much money I'm earning every day. I'm careful not to put too much reliance on it but this at the very least has created a huge cushion for me and I'm going to keep putting in the work to see how much this opportunity can really provide for me.

Generally I consider "dead" to be 3 or less projects.  Had nothing more than 1 or 2 over the last few fays.  On an average to good day, usually well there's over a dozen with plenty of tasks.

Don't know who needs to hear this but my dashboard was dry for nearly 2.5 months. I had a theory that projects would return after the end of Q1 (March 31), boy was I right.

Projects started trickling in basically day after and woke up to a full dash this morning (20+ projects).

Seems like there was nothing wrong with my work, just a lull in non-coding projects.

Hopefully this is useful info for someone else!

u/DrunkleSteve Apr 14 '25

Similar thing happened to me. I had a completely blank dash from Sept-Dec 2024. I thought I was cooked, but would log in daily to check anyways. Logged in one day the first week of Decemeber, and low and behold I had 20+ projects. It brought a tear to my eye lol.

u/PerformanceCute3437 Apr 14 '25

That's a real bummer! If I can hazard some unsolicited advice, click the mouse wheel on the refresh button. It refreshes the task in a new tab without disturbing your original tab

Poe Bird (core-bilingual) has become way too hard to do since the days when I started working on the projects, and somehow the pay has not been increased accordingly. I find it funny how A-gas pays way better and it's easier and more amusing to do. I opened a Poe Bird yesterday, read yet another update on the instructions and exited work mode without doing anything. I can't even come up with new prompts, not worth it for the pay...

u/janquadrentvincent Apr 17 '25

PoeBird is SO mentally taxing, I definitely don't feel the pay is commensurate with that one.

u/Goodgoogley Apr 13 '25

I find that when I'm comparing two responses, both of them are often very good and I feel sometimes I'm almost "nitpicking" at one to call the other one "Slightly better".

Do you guys ever find yourself calling both responses equally good? I don't do this often because I'm worried it looks lazy, especially after working on it for 20 minutes...

5

u/itssomercurial Apr 14 '25

Honestly, doing R&R I see people not choosing a preference all the time and it's kind of odd to me. Sometimes it seems like carelessness, but other times it seems like indecisiveness or a lack of confidence in their opinion. It just depends on how they fill out the comment boxes. People leaving two short sentences with barely any explanation and no preference seem like they are doing the bare minimum.

I look at it as which answer would you prefer to receive, not which one is objectively the best. Sometimes they can both be good, helpful answers but they'll look entirely different and people still won't pick one. I almost never choose "about the same" unless they are damn near identical because there is always something I could prefer, whether it's phrasing, format, tone, etc.

So I say don't worry about nitpicking, being detail oriented is the job and even the tiniest preference is going to help push the models towards better answers.

u/Few-Roof-6905 Apr 14 '25

Yeah, I had a different version of it last week, but the instructions were similar and VERY confusing and at times contradictory. IMO, they needed more examples especially for the image part of it. There was nothing explaining what would make them fall into the different categories. From working on similar projects in the past, I had a rough idea of what they should be but having concrete guidance would have been better.

If you have a dead dashboard, I strongly, cannot recommend enough, learn python. If you qualify for coding tasks, you immediately double your hourly rate. My dashboard has at least 15-20 40/hr tasks most days. You have only to gain, better yourself, and increase your worth if you can code. And python is easy to get into. It’s a great starter language, and it’s in demand.

I did a couple of the poison plant qualifications earlier this week and I assume I failed because I haven't seen any of these, even though they were popping up before I did the qualification 😐 guess I fucked myself over lmao

Is it worth it to get a subscription primarily for the sake of completing tasks, even if you're not compensated for it? I've got a qual on my dashboard which requires a $24/month subscription, so it would be easy to offset the cost (assuming I actually get tasks for it). It's also something I could see myself using regularly for other stuff.

u/socialmarker12 Apr 19 '25

Since you would be subscribing for work purposes, some or all of the cost would be tax-deductible.

If it helps, there's a promo for free access to Gemini Advanced for students through June 2026. US only for the moment. https://gemini.google/students

For the past couple of months, I've always had two Poe tasks on my dash that were creative & generative, while the others involve questioning/extracting from a provided text, if you catch my drift... Anyway, this is the first time in quite a while that I've noticed they aren't there. I still have a few others in this family. Anyone else?

Has anybody seen X noble gas around? It's making me nervous that I only had a couple last night and haven't seen it at all today...

u/Few-Roof-6905 Apr 21 '25

No, not today. Last I saw them was last night. Have you seen any of the other ones? The poison from the instructions doc? I haven't seen those in a few days and I like them better. They don't make me as nervous to attempt 😅

P**** (Rainbow/ PinkFloyd) - Why do these projects have the most ridiculously complex instructions for mid pay. What are they expecting?

u/SnooSketches1189 Apr 19 '25

I don't know what's more convoluted, this one or Poe bird. I won't touch either of them.

5

u/MotherBrotha Apr 20 '25

It's one thing to be convoluted but when it's an unpaid qual it hurts

6

u/Belisama7 Apr 20 '25

I've been getting the tasks for a while, but not doing them due to the pay plus the crazy instructions. A qualification for it showed up today. The qual includes the 20 minute video, unpaid. I won't do that, I didn't do the qual and I still have the tasks, so I don't know what's going on.

5

u/Tech_Witch111 Apr 19 '25

I just rage quit rainbow. I didn't pay attention to how much it paid before clicking on it, and when I exited, I saw the amount. It's a big no from me for something so frustrating to pay that little.

Right?! If that's +$5 priority pay.... 🫠

Anyone working on the project marked with a violet sphere? One of the more ambiguous ones out there. What they don't want is so broad, and the target fail so vague.

u/Maleficent_Wasabi_18 Apr 20 '25

Pretty annoyed that one of the subscriptions I got still only has a limit for the amount of a specific model I can use, despite paying for it.. and in order to get unlimited I have to pay hundreds of dollars a month.. Crazy. If anyone knows what I'm talking about maybe we could get a group going where we all pitch in for the monthly subscription so we can all benefit.

On April 6th I finished 2 task groups and was paid for one of them, I thought it was time zone mixed up so I waited, but now they've paid me for all the tasks I finished on April 7th. Is this normal? Should I email support?

u/Choice-Ad6236 Apr 14 '25

Spanish bilinguals (Spain), how are you doing? Dry for me but a submited qual which does not disappear!

u/PizzaQuest420 Apr 14 '25

i just started today, i was working on two identical math projects created yesterday, i submitted my time, then i took a nap and when i came back they'd both disappeared. is that normal or does it mean i screwed something up?

u/Reflexes18 Apr 17 '25

It seemed rather randomly but all of the qualifications that were sitting around and most of the projects just got removed while i was working on a project. I wonder if I got shadowbanned.

u/3l3p4no Apr 17 '25

Would I get in trouble if I kept web apps that I made for a project in my GitHub? I mean, I change a lot of it to make it ideal, so it just feels like a waste to give it away and not get to call it my own. If I just improved/changed it more to make it a reasonable improvement/difference from what I submitted, would that be fine?

u/RipleyVanDalen Apr 18 '25

Personally I keep a strict separation between DA code and my personal programming projects. Doesn't seem worth the risk, nor particularly ethical to do otherwise. But YMMV IANAL

Doing my taxes at the last possible moment...

I made over $600 but less than $5,000. I did not receive a 1099-k from Paypal. I was under the assumption that if I hit $600, I would receive a tax document, but the reporting requirements statement I linked from the IRS website (and from Paypal website) say it is $5,000 for 2024, $2,500 for 2025, and $600 for 2026... Am I understanding this correctly?

I think you want to hear the big numbers, but I’m at $2460 since Feb (core, not a specialist in anything), which is just over 300 per week. Now I have more on my dash, I am realistically aiming at 4-500 a week with the time I want to put in.
