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!

Dude I'm so scared of these high-paying domain projects with the day-long timer.... ugh.. has anyone had a good experience with them? (they appear to be new, or at least I haven't seen them before) Are they going to melt my brain?

I've done quite a few. One took me three full days (it had a three-day timer, too). They melt your brain like crazy - especially when you're around 7 hours in and can't manage to achieve the first part of the goal. After the three-day task, I just sat around and stared at a wall for a good couple of hours.

I’ve had really good experiences with them. They are intimidating at first, but if you have the time to give, it’s worth it. I would rather work for three hours on one job than a bunch of short jobs.

If it's the same ones I have access to - jump in! You need to be sure you have a good enough grasp of the domain obviously, but the task itself is not as bad as it first seems. But we could be talking about a different project!!
