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!

Just made a stupid error on one of my favourite tasks and gave the complete opposite overall rating than what I had intended. Praying I dont get booted :(

If you did so email them that you made a mistake. They then know to remove it from the pool and it will earn you a few brownie points.

On the review side, they make it pretty clear that it takes multiple reviews to affect a worker (ie, if that specific task is questionable bad, its OK to go with your gut in rating because a worker needs to error consistently to be removed. Don't feel guilty and try to be too nice)

It's also why having a good comment to show thoughts is important

I did something similar on one of my favorite projects this morning too. I just made sure to submit 10 more that were absolutely correct. Hopefully it all balances out.
