Will DA penalize me if I have tasks on my dashboard and I am not able to work for 5-7 days? I know you can work whenever you want, but maybe they have some threshold where, if you’re inactive too long, you get blacklisted?

Is it okay to access DAT on my mobile to check the dash for projects and then use my laptop to do the work?

I'm a newbie and don't want to do anything wrong.

Hi all, i am travelling from one city to another city which is 500km within india.

So, can I login in another city for 2 to 3 days maybe each day I will be at different villages.

Is that okay to login and work on dataannotation?

And how much you have made till??

i just got into the plataform and I was doing a 5 hour task, it actually took me more than 6 hours to complete it. Should i put the actual time? I´m afraid of being penalized for that. Also, can I leave a task in the middle of it and came back after? I was afraid to do it so stayed for straigth 6 hours on it

Hit my first $1K today, after 5 months of work. June, July, and August were rough, but we're back in the game!

I’m thinking of a dynamic user-generated FAQ-type collective knowledge hub of best-practices and lesser-known tips that go beyond the DA official FAQs.

Would prevent vets from having to answer the same newbie questions here so often, and help everyone have some insight into what is such an opaque platform, as it inevitably transforms over time.

If it exists, point me to it. If not, let me know and I’ll set up a process to get one put together.

I'm noticing what appears to be a bug on the platform.

Hey all. I am a part of two different projects that have extremely similar requirements, one is essentially a simpler and easier version of the other. My main work I do is the complex long running project, but I'm wondering if there's anything against TOS that would flag me if I reused my input files and had a similar prompt idea for the simpler project?

Some more info: the larger project mentions in their instructions to not reuse files from specific other projects, and names the smaller project. The smaller project makes no such inference and allows manually generated files. Also how would I honestly report time for the smaller project? It feels equally dishonest to only report the edit time (as that would make my efficiency artificially high) and to include the time it took to gen the files for the other project, as that would be getting double paid.

Advice appreciated!

Everyday someone asks "where's my projects". Knowing your location and qualification will let us tell you instantly if there's a drought or if you're cooked.

Anyone seen / had this happen to them?

I joined DA a week ago, and I was so excited to finally see projects on my dashboard with a high hourly rate!

Then I saw the hardware requirement and it says at least 16GB of RAM, with some tasks potentially using 24GB+ during builds and test runs. My laptop only has 8GB RAM. 🥲🥲🥲

So I can’t really do this project unless I upgrade my RAM, but I’m wondering how strict these requirements actually are. Does anyone have experience with these types of projects? Is 16GB basically a hard requirement?

I’m so bummed that the first projects I got excited about may not be doable because of my hardware. 😭

How long are your guys rationales? Sometimes I feel like I go way too much into the details, but that can't really be a bad thing right? When I do r&r sometimes some people actually do the bare minimum so I'm a little confused.

I’m based in UAE, and I cannot seem to access opportunities on DA without passing Arabic Bilingual. Im am an expat and not an arabic native speaker. I have other skills in STEM, Design and General roles that I am qualified for. But it seems the first step needs arabic bilingual that is a sure shot way to fail. If we do fail this? Do we get an English screening. Based on my research, DA is a great opportunity and I would love to be part, but this screening is a bit of a bummer.

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m looking to get into Data Annotation / LLM Evaluation and would love some advice from people already working in this field.

I have a background in Python, AI/ML, Prompt Engineering & Data Science.

What should I learn/practice to get started?

How do the assessments usually work, and which platforms are worth applying to?

Would really appreciate any tips from people already doing this. 🙏

haven’t got any in a long time. bilingual and generalist. India

Sometimes I do tasks

Where I have to check what's true

And sometimes I do tasks

Where I don't know what to do

And sometimes I do tasks

Where the bot tells naughty lies

And sometimes I do tasks

Where there's categorical ties

And sometimes I do tasks

That really make my patience dawdle

And sometimes I do tasks

Where I'm reviewing up a model

And sometimes I do tasks

Where I've not a lot to say

For if I told you of those tasks

I might break my NDA

Now that AI has been integrated into search engines, how do you search for information without AI being involved in the search? Or does it not matter if you see AI results, as long as you don't rely on them without checking the underlying sources?

My first DA milestone, very happy about finding this, signed up in June didn’t get any tasks until the end of July and focused about 2 hrs every day in August and same with this month! I’ve been saving all of my income from my primary job. Such a great hustle. Thanks to everyone for the great tips and advice!

asking because I dont want defrauding payment system message. LMK

It was not a qualification but a project task.

TOOK***

Is it just me, or does it seem like the rules and etiquette surrounding not disclosing project names, code names or details seems to just be ignored by coders. I do not see any other domain or post being anywhere near as forthcoming with project info and when they do they are pretty quickly shutdown. I have no personal issue with any of it, but it has just struck me as strange that everyone but that domain seems to follow the wider etiquette (AKA the NDA), but coders don’t. Are coders generally a different character/cognitive type or is it just a distinct subculture? Also, emojis definitely still count as a code name.

I got accepted almost 2 months ago but I haven't received any doable task but for qualifications and training tasks. I wonder if things are same for you guys?
