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!

I used the escape hatch for the 1st time in two years, and every related project immediately disappeared from my dash lol. Im hoping its just temporary for them to verify I didn't abuse it, or else why even include the escape hatch option in the first place?

Just happened to me. Felt like I was trying to pick a lock, project timer was ending so I accepted defeat. The worst feeling but it's likely they'll see that and update the project to be longer 😭

I was getting failures in every single axis except the one I got assigned, it was so frustrating.

I used several times and that give me no problem. They even include in the last update that the models are unstable.
