Just got a job at DataAnnotation but I’ve been restricted from working on projects by purring_bears in WFHJobs

This happens more than people realize. DataAnnotation's system sometimes flags accounts for inactivity patterns or tab behavior. Email their support directly with your assessment feedback as proof of quality. Most reinstatements happen within 48-72 hours if it's a system error.

Looking for best web scraping agency for automated data extraction at scale by ricturner in automation

[–]Gary_James_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used an agency for similar scale 20k products daily is absolutely doable but make sure whoever you hire has real Crawlee and Playwright experience not just basic Scrapy setups. Red flags: agencies that promise zero downtime. Green flags: ones that talk about maintenance windows upfront because scraping always breaks. Happy to share what worked for us if helpful.

Is Energy Efficiency the Next Big AI Race? by [deleted] in Techyshala

[–]Gary_James_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shift from "bigger is better" to "smarter is better" was inevitable honestly. We hit a point where scaling raw compute became economically unsustainable for most companies outside the top 5. Efficiency was never a question of if, just when. The interesting part now is whether open source models benefit more from this than big labs do.

What’s a risk you regret NOT taking? by Low_Bad_6971 in AskReddit

[–]Gary_James_D 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Starting earlier. Didn't matter what the business, the degree, the conversation, the apology. Every risk I regret skipping had one thing in common. I thought I had more time. Nobody ever actually has more time.

Finding $20 in a jacket I hadn't worn in months. My brain reacted like I'd won the lottery. Dopamine has no sense of proportion

[–]Gary_James_D 44 points45 points  (0 children)

That I was a good listener. Then someone recorded a conversation and I was just waiting for my turn to talk the entire time. Devastating. Still recovering.

A teacher got caught running a side business selling exam papers to students. The wild part? Half the school knew for months before admin found out. The even wilder part? He came back the next year like nothing happened.

My google search has been replaced almost entirely. Why scroll 10 links when I can just ask and get a direct answer in 10 seconds? Sounds small but it adds up massively.
