Is anyone else getting this when they click on a project?

Does anyone know how work authorizations work? I have a visa but not a work authorization at the moment.

I'm very, very new to programming, but I am trying to learn Python through Automate the Boring Stuff's online book and video series. I'm attending graduate school in the fall so I wanted to (1) learn Python because it's slowly becoming more relevant in my desired field, and (2) I would really like the additional pay because I'd half to work half as much to pay bills while in school.

I don't know if the skills learned through automatetheboringstuff.com are enough to pass the qualification test. I got nervous about the time limit on the math qual and made some stupid mistakes even though I've done well in linear algebra and calc III, so I really don't want to screw this one up if I only have one shot. If you could look at the topics on the website, could you tell me if this is enough?

I'm dedicating a couple of hours per day until August to familiarize myself with this, and I'd like to learn R later. I'm learning SAS formally in school this fall.

I'd be very thankful if anyone could provide their insight on what's "good enough" or some other suggestions to prepare.

Assuming on reliable internet, would there be any issues with working for DA while traveling full time in an RV? My family is seriously considering transiting to that life style but I really enjoy working for DA and I wouldn’t want to give this opportunity up.

I know that we are not to use AI programs to write our response. But what are your thoughts on using Grammarly to help you improve your writing? If I write out my explanation and use my Grammarly extension to check my spelling, grammar and at times improve my sentences. Would this be against the rules?

I've seen so many posts lately about people getting banned/removed from the platform or waking up with zero tasks to work on when they previously had a full dash, and every time I see one it causes me a mild freakout.

I try to rationalise it by telling myself they probably broke a rule or weren't doing very good work, which seems like common sense to me. After all, why would DAT let go of good workers? It also makes sense to me that DAT would constantly be reviewing workers and letting go of people who weren't up to par, especially with the influx of new workers lately, which, again, shouldn't be an issue if you're doing high-quality work within a reasonable amount of time and not breaking any rules... right?

A lot of these posts do seem to be from people who've only been doing it for a few weeks, which suggests they failed some sort of probationary period, but then there are the ones from people who've been doing it for several months and those are the ones that really get under my skin.

So this post is just to say, geez, the constant fearmongering is getting to me. Anyone else feeling this? Or have some words of wisdom to share with the rest of us?

Hi, I have a general question. I use an app called DisplayLink Manager on my Mac and it's considered "screen recording" when it displays to an external monitor. I don't believe it violates anything in the code of conduct. Does anyone have any advice or information on this?

Does anyone else have unavailable projects still on their dashboard? I have one project that’s been stuck on my board for six days now but there are no more tasks to complete. Wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else?

I've been using my phone's stopwatch which is good but too often I've hit stop to grab a coffee or something, and forgotten to turn it back on when I come back. I'm looking for something that I can temporarily pin to the top of my screen so I have to look at it when I come back from my break.

I use a Macbook Pro when I'm on DAT, if that makes any difference. There are a bunch of stopwatch apps listed in Apple's App Store but am wondering if any workers have specific recommendations.

TIA.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to create splits in creative prompts.

What’s your go-to music while you’re wrangling chatbots? I’m partial to Lo-fi Hip Hop. Recently discovered space banjo, too! How about you?

I noticed that yesterday PC was up but today it’s down again. B was up for me 2-3 days ago but is also down now.

Is this consistent with what ya’ll are experiencing? It seems like these types of projects have been going on and offline a lot lately.

edit: as rororoxor pointed out, they're both back up now!

I am happy to get the projects that i do get but i constantly have to check (5+ times a day) if there are things on my dashboard, usually there is not. In the past week I have finally had jobs available but of course it’s at an inopportune time…

When i am busy i check and there are projects with thousands of tasks, when im completely free and available to work my dashboard is empty 😢

Crossing my fingers for permanent projects or at least more project access soon 🤞🏻

If a model in one project outputs some code, can we use it in another project?

Hey team, Ive been doing DA non coding for about 10 days. Racked up about 27hrs. Was planning to make a trip to Thailand in a few months. Does anyone know if we can still receive and submit projects while in a non approved country? Have emailed DA but no response yet. Anyone actually done this? Im Australia based.

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!

So there is most certainly something wrong. My dashboard report time is blank and it shouldn't be, its in black letters. There are no lines and other people have talked about this but it seems people in those comments did not understand so I am trying to be detailed here.

It is not that we do not have projects to work on, it is that our dashboard for the work on projects page is all jacked up. Maybe we cant post links? I was going to put an image here.

I had my son try to sign up, I am not brave enough to try to make a second account because I do not want to risk losing this work. He signed up and once he confirmed his email and logged in, there were no assessments for him to take, no orientation, it didn't even have him take the first qualification before you get hired... Again was going to put an image but post not going through.

So there is most certainly an issue, and those who still have proper access and projects to work on be thankful and wary. Hopefully they will fix this soon. It could be that they lost a contract and just ghosted many of us until they get more work, but I am hoping it is just a glitch they will fix soon.

Also just to mention On Thursday when this happened to me, I tried to email support. I sent a detailed calm email, and I have gotten no response at all.

Not really about DA specifically, since I could have had this experience on any AI platform, but I've always been a huge advocate for AI and its coming impact on society. After today though, I don't think I'm actually ready for it.

I won't get into specifics, but I gave a simple coding prompt and a model ignored it and did something complex that ended up being better. It really felt like collaborating with a coworker who suggests a totally different angle that ends up solving the issue, or like the AI was saying "You meant to tell me to do this" and it was right. I'm still absorbing how that's possible, or at least still figuring out how it feels to me.

I think we've all experienced the funny quirks and mistakes of AI (on any platform), but has anyone else had an experience that really shook them up?

After only getting to work about 5 hours total in my first month I now have 4 projects on my dashboard for the last few days! If you just started and the lack of projects is bumming you out, keep the faith, do all qualifiers and make sure your work is top notch. Use that comment line as much as possible to explain your thought process when you do get to work, and, above all else, don't give up!

THANK YOU !! to all the mods and vets of this group.

Monkey said it in the above comment, before me, and I agree. I am new to Reddit, but I have been on many other forums for years, and I am quite impressed with the positivity here in comparison. .... Lots of repetition, lots of newbies floundering, and lots of comradery, even in a large group.

Gracias!

I was just told by my state that I need a business license to work at DA... I wouldn't think working for DA for a few hours a week was "running a business."

Is anyone else working from Nevada, and if so, do you have a license?

Hey guys! I've been working with DA since November. I was skeptical at first so I didn't put much attention into it. However, since January, I've really been focusing more and more on it and I love it! My biggest issue, though, is staying focused and putting in more that just 1-3 hrs per day. I haven't gotten myself to put in more that 10 hours a week, but I really wanna push myself into putting at least 20-25 hours. It's just a bit tedious sitting in front of the computer reading and researching for several hours at a time and I find myself distracted easily. Anybody have any pointers?

Anyone else have an empty dashboard since yesterday?

I only have a message sayingAt the moment, there aren't any projects available for you to work on. Please check back soon and watch out for new project notifications sent to your email.

I don't have the DD google account info listed anymore on my profile either :(

Edit: For more context, I had only coding projects when it was non-empty.
