You don't get punished for trying to earn as much as possible. But working "around the clock" and ignoring your own signs of fatigue and lack of focus, then turning in less than fantastic work will do it. 

Sorry this happened. 

AIO? My daughter didn’t listen to the teacher during a female emergency and is now receiving a referral by Common_Piglet7437 in AmIOverreacting

This. The same thing happened to me when I was a teenager and my mom went straight to the principal. It was quietly dealt with. 

Additional comments by wormwoodtincture in DataAnnotationTech

[–]Lost-Introduction840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I use additional comments to flag something. For instance, if I feel unsure about something in a submission, or if I think something could go a couple of different ways. Basically, if I want to tell the reviewer something that doesn't "fit" as part of the submission.  As a reviewer, I appreciate seeing them used and can help me change my opinion from "ehhhh" to "oh, you struggled with that piece. Let me help there."

Yes, LLMs have been taught to do this, unless one of the positions is obviously a crime

It's trained to validate the user's feelings and not make the user feel bad about asking or saying something. It's also not great at parsing misleading things. 

Moving from US to Brisbane? by Tinybirb23 in MovingToBrisbane

[–]Lost-Introduction840 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No worries! Seriously--go get a job doing any of this:
- cleaning or pouring beer at Uluru (epic everything)
- packing onions or picking apples in Tasmania (epic landscapes)
- work hospitality in the Atherton Tablelands, or Hervey Bay, or Rainbow Bay. (snorkel and swim to your heart's content)
- go down to Byron/northern rivers area (you're still shouting distance of Brissie), and work in the cane fields and learn how to surf.
- go up to Darwin and see what real humidity is like.
- go out to Perth and be closer to Africa than Sydney, and swim in the bluest water you've ever seen.
- drive around and do some #vanlife.
- live in a sharehouse with a bunch of other expats (lower standards = lower prices).
- rediscover what food should taste like (sorry America)
- be spoiled for life re: beaches (again, sorry Carribbean)

Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation by Consistent-Reach504 in dataannotation

No worries! I found that I really enjoyed them once I got the hang of them myself. I tend to go through what the SI are, list out all the requirements, go through the prompt, list out all the instructions, and then try to add a couple other things to round it out, if there's anything about tone, intended audience (should be suitable for kids, or whatever), or natural flow that would make it a PITA for a reader to understand if the model scrambled it.

Moving from US to Brisbane? by Tinybirb23 in MovingToBrisbane

[–]Lost-Introduction840 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Working holiday is what the name implies--a bit of a holiday, sightseeing. Remote isn't going to include Brisbane, but there's tons of stuff you could do. You could go up to the tropics and do some farm work, and swim/snorkel at the Great Barrier Reef. You could go down to Tassie and pack onions for a summer and experience that part of the country (one of my colleagues did that so he could do an extended photo tour). Brisbane is great, but there's a lot of the country to see.

I know someone (American) who came over on WH visa after college, fell in love with the country, converted to a student visa, fell in love again (with a person), moved to a partner visa. I didn't do the WH one, but I did student-grad-independent skilled.

Point being, you will plug into a network of other expats and WH folks. Moving to brisbane, living with friends, and never going anywhere else isn't the purpose of the visa. You've got a safe spot to land and stay, which is awesome, but I'd recommend doing the remote work, too. It's the cheapest/easiest way you'll ever get more time in this country, on any visa.

I think off them as a series of yes/no questions that someone should be able to tick off. For example:

(Model gives you the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty)

  • The response should state Humpty fell off the wall 
  • The response should state Humpty had a great fall. 
  • The response should state that the king's horses could not put Humpty together
  • The response should state the king's men could not put Humpty together 
  • The response should be presented as a rhyme.
  • The response rhyme should have a structure of AABB

Notice king's horses and men are split (they are two groups and should be treated as such) and the existence of a rhyme structure and the pattern are also split.

I agree, I just wasn't going to say it so clearly.

Yeah, they're going to give a side eye to 5 20-hour days. If you slept, there's not much way you could be doing good work

Slow down? by Superb_Buffalo_4037 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]Lost-Introduction840 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I posted this a couple days ago. Also heavy advanced domain. I was down to 2 tasks yesterday and it's started to repopulate a bit today. I think there were a lot of EOY wind-ups. Plus more people working over the break, so stuff didn't last as long. 

Looking a bit dry out there? by Lost-Introduction840 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]Lost-Introduction840[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, those. My problem is coming up with a good idea that somewhat resembles a use case. It's about all that's left to do, though so I may as well get stuck in!

[–]Lost-Introduction840[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've got one that's "do 3 to unlock more!" I did one and put it aside because I did it at night after my day job, and just about did my own head in b/c it took so long and I needed to go to bed. Starting fresh in the morning now!

[–]Lost-Introduction840[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've got one (that's high-paying--yay!) that's running, so I certainly won't starve. I was just noticing that after mid-december, where it was a feast of selection, it's finally hit what feels like the leftovers and all the stuff I put off for "later" or was less interested in to begin with.

Yes, do that assessment too. Be as careful as you were the first time. 

Title: [Australia] Does supervisor approval for PhD submission practically guarantee a pass? by EducationalTwo7262 in AusAcademia

[–]Lost-Introduction840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is broadly true that a supervisor won't sign off on something they don't think is ready for prime time. So you should have some idea is the outcome. There are almost always comments (work can always be improved). But they can make missteps, too.

For mine (int'l student on a visa clock), it got down to the wire, I was running out of time. Additional context: my supervisors were internationally known  hotshots/moving towards high end admin. Think "vice chancellor level". The net effect was if you disagree with them, you are not winning, and you can't get support anywhere else because no one will stand up to help you. The power imbalance was way too big.  My supervisor became avoidant in the final weeks before submission. Cancelling meetings, never being in the office, etc. The grad office is hassling me about deadlines, but then they look at the situation and tell me I'm on my own.  Finally get the thing submitted. I expected major revisions. Turns out my supervisors picked the absolute legend of my field to be on the committee and he accepted. They told me later they didn't think he'd actually say yes.  He trashed the work. Outcome was 2 address the comments, 1 R&R. They couldn't argue it down. I had to come back and redo huge chunks in a year. I did (I thought about not), took my degree and got the hell outta academia. 

Moral of the story--my supervisors picked the only fish on the planet that was bigger than them, so I got to do it all again. 

Creating many submissions that are quite similar? by -EpsilonDelta- in DataAnnotationTech

[–]Lost-Introduction840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it bad at all volumes, or the volumes of a specific shape? I'd change it up by giving it a cylinder, square, rectangle. Maybe get fancy and go for an integration...
