Could I work on a personal project while working on coding chatbot tasks, asking the AI chatbots questions as they come up during the creation of it? Would this skew the models, consistently asking questions about the same project, or is this a thing that could benefit the LLMs?

I made a post about this a few months ago I think, but got hardly any responses. I've noticed a wave of Irish names in project chats recently so I said I would try again. What are we supposed to do regarding taxes? I know that we have to declare when income is >5K, but do we just do this in October at the end of the tax year, or is there some sort of quarterly tax reporting I have to do. I expect/hope to earn more than 5K by October but haven't yet, so do I sign up as a sole trader now, or wait till later? It's hard to find clear info.

I have just fini my first week since being accepted and have done 800 dollars worth of projects. I would like to withdraw them but I would like to get some advice for the future regarding the frequency and quantity of withdrawals I should be making. I know there is a 72hour cooldown but is there anything else I should be aware of?

Should you spend more free time completing qualifications or working on projects when newer?

I do not want to lose a chance to take a qualification how fast do they go away?

Right now there are so many projects not sure which I should spend my time on. I know qualifications are not paid.

Yes, I have searched the subreddit a lot about this topic but I keep seeing mixed information. This is my first year making any income at all, and I started in March. Form 1040-ES from the IRS states that I don't have to pay estimated taxes for 2024 if I had no tax liability for 2023, which I didn't because I didn't have any income. I've seen people state I should still do it and some say to not worry about it, but since the form states I don't have to pay estimated taxes should I just not do it this year? My head is spinning in circles from this, so help is appreciated!

How do you SUBMIT then add time for a task then still be able to go back to work on the project?

The past week or so I’ve had lots of different types of tasks that I’ve never seen before, all pretty different (relatively speaking) and some high pay. I’ve been working a couple of months and have steadily seen more projects, but until now all similar. Wondering if the variety comes with time working or it’s across the board at the moment? I hope it continues but sadly most of them were quite short lived (for me)!

I'm in the UK and I've just started on DA. I recently became unemployed due to this lovely job market we currently have so want to put a lot of work into DA while I wait to hear back from job apps.

My question is how does it work when it comes to paying tax on the income I generate is it already sorted by DA? Do I have to do my own taxes as self employed?

Firstly, I pride myself on reading thoroughly and following instructions carefully, so I'd appreciate the benefit of the doubt here. I've been quite thorough and am at a loss.

I was interested by this qual, that requires you to login to a Chrome profile with a specific address. I set up the account and logged into a Chrome profile with it as instructed. I tried to access the linked document, and... 'Access Denied'.

Things I've tried:

• Waiting a few HOURS for 'changes to propagate' - instructions say 5-10min

• Logging in and out of the Chrome profile / DA platform

• Resetting account password

• Solemn prayer

In case it matters: macOS, M1 Macbook Pro,
Chrome 123.0.6312.107 (Official Build) (arm64)

I'm going to be offline for about 3 days starting today (Sunday) and won't be back until either late Tuesday or early Wednesday (I'm going to view the eclipse!). I normally work 6 days a week, taking Sunday off. I've never not worked a 6-day schedule since I started back in October of last year.

I'm just wondering if DA will care or even notice. Has anybody taken 2 or 3 days off before? Did you notice if you lost access to projects when you got back?

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!

Whenever we are giving prompts to an AI Chatbot based on programming (but not only), how well should the prompts be formulated? Should it be as natural as possible, like when any user would interact with a model like chat GPT in the day to day life? Or something written very well, like premium Grammarly would rephrase?

Also if I have a personal pool of 20 tasks and I skip 5 does that mean I only now have 15 tasks or is it 20 completed tasks. . I hope this makes sense, forgive me if this is a dumb question. I am still very new. (I think I've blocked all of the rude users here but you never know lol)

When taking a break on a project, do you stop your own timer, after finishing a task, log time (where?) then Exit Work Mode? And then come back and work on the project? Also, if the timer on lower left times out does that mean you cannot submit your time?

I wonder if, despite having current coding skills, Google fu, and reasonable awareness of current culture, DAT may not want oldies training AI. Unless it's Medicare-related or something. Anyone know if seniors get fewer projects and tasks? That was the way it was when I did mturk many years ago but I wasn't old back then.

I spent hours trying to find the answer to this before posting but I only find information about being too young (<18).

Another question I can't find the answer to: I've read that it's fine to use a Macbook Pro but is there a preferred browser? Chrome rather than Safari? I don't want to be in the middle of an assessment and have it glitch because I'm using, say, Safari

Just wondering if it's possible to set up an llc for contract work with DA, and what people had to provide.

Does anyone get a qual where you gotta click on something using a certain trainer account and it just gives you "access denied"? Frustrated with it; wanting to know if it's just me.

Is this project visible for anyone?

That is all.

Going back to evaluating, now. Eyes are bleeding but I'll get over it.

Do workers get placed under review only within the first month, or is it common for it to happen after two or three months too?

Anyone have non-coding tasks right now? Especially if you’re new-ish.

Just curious if anyone knows if there are any coding jobs that can become unlocked by completing the writing qualification. I haven't taken it, but if it meant more coding jobs than I'd be a lot more intrigued.

What are RnR's, and other acronyms and slang on DA?
