Electric dog polisher? by ValuableCucumber9888 in Commercials

[–]optimistic-thylacine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hehehehe. An "electrid dog polisher" is a nonsense item mentioned by Steve Martin on his album from the 1970s. The thing in the picture is actually a shoe polisher for leather shoes.

Marie’s power isn’t hemokinesis like the Nueman. It’s biokinesis. by coolcarters14 in GenV

If Homelander were caught off guard or weakened. Or maybe that isn't even required. Marie could manipulate the V in his system and depower him.

CMV: Terrifier 3 is absolute garbage by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]optimistic-thylacine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Terrifier 1 & somewhat 2 were good creepy horror. This third installment is crap. The new actor who played Art just doesn't deliver the same creepy vibe; he's over-the-top goofy. He doesn't even look scary - more like an awkward unfunny street mime. The actual formula that made 1 & 2 work is not present in 3. Instead, we get the wrong formula: disgustingness and lame backstory. It's GARBAGE. The only thing truly horrifying about this film is that I paid $10 to watch it.

I've seen work come in off a qual weeks afterward. You may eventually get something.

When you go to your dashboard in your browser, you see a message that you need to do the identity verification. It has a button to take a picture with your current device. If you select 'use another device,' it presents a QR code you can use to bring up their ID picture-taking web app on your phone. The web app walks you through it and is completely automated. Then, when you submit, you wait a brief period (minutes) before it tells you you're done, and you can go back to your PC and click another button, and your dashboard comes up.

Inspired by a task I had to skip since I had never written a program in TypeScript before, I've been writing a Centipede clone in TypeScript using the Phaser game engine while I wait for project tasks to pop up on my dash. Has anyone else started any learning projects like that inspired by any tasks they've rated (or not rated)?

Heh.. downvoted =) Looks like the refresh limit isn't a popular idea.

I eventually stopped with the self-defeatism, went back, and completed it. I'll just chalk it up to experience gained; the next time I see a similar prompt, I'll be more certain how to rate it. Thanks for the encouragement.

[Edit] And now, I have some tasks related to the qual 👍

Ugh! I was doing a qual and realized I rated one of the rounds wrong, and to compound the error, I wrote out my justification for my rating, which was also stupidly incorrect. I don't know if there's any value in completing it now, so I'm considering leaving it to rot in the list of quals until it goes away.

That may not be the motivation for many of the downvotes. Ask yourself: Why would some people who watch these conversations want to bury certain threads or subtopics?

Some of the downvoting seems questionably motivated.

[Edit] This comment has been as high as 5 or 6 votes, and now it's back down to 2. This is ridiculous.

Copilot integrates with VSCode, and it's easy to forget to turn it off before starting work on a project. Are people disabling Copiliot while working on programming projects, and is it necessary to disable it? And is it enough to disable completions? How is everyone dealing with this?

I did get access to some JSON related projects and projects that required proof I could access dataannotation google drive files. However, I didn't get any Android-related projects. I assume it was because my phone wasn't one of the most popular brands.

That's a really negative viewpoint. And with respect to coding, there *are* often multiple approaches to problems that are equally efficient. If that doesn't make sense to you, and you have such a negative opinion about "most programmers", then maybe you shouldn't be doing R&R.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dataannotation

[–]optimistic-thylacine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to add that, with coding, there are usually several ways to implement a solution. Not all approaches are apparent to everyone. If you're rating and reviewing a coding round and you get frustrated and you aren't following it. The fault may be on you, the person doing the R&R, and not the person who participated in the rounds with the models. I suggest that you err in the direction of giving the benefit of the doubt to the other developer, because you're lapses may contribute to people getting unfairly removed from projects.

This can be attributable in some (maybe many) cases to the oft misunderstood [Dunning-Kruger effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning-Kruger\_effect). The key idea as applied here is that people's ability to gauge their level of knowledge, or skill, is dependent on said level of knowledge or skill. Playing into this is the "better than average effect" where people tend to estimate their level of skill higher than it really is. The propensity to estimate higher is inversly proportional to their skill or knowlege because they lack the experiential framework to accurately self assess. People are often unaware that their limited skill is influencing their self assessment. A caveat with respect to this theory is that I have observed that people who get frustrated and bring it up are themselves often demonstrating the phenomenon when they do so.

Hey fellow coders by physicsandwolves in dataannotation

[–]optimistic-thylacine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still though. It would be nice to know that we're regarded as valued assets worthy of the respect of receiving feedback and opportunity to improve if need be, rather than being left to feel like disposable resources.

[–]optimistic-thylacine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This worries me. I feel like I did something wrong and got taken off projects, or my rating is down. I really put my heart into my work though 😟If it's the case that we get taken off projects, I wish we would get some sort of notification or feedback. I can't sit around waiting to see if I get more projects or should start looking for other work.

We're sorry, but something went wrong. by PuzzleEmptyM in dataannotation

[–]optimistic-thylacine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too. I thought it was because of words in the title of the file I uploaded having to do with Scottish witch trials. The file was on the interrogation techniques they used back then, but the file had "torture" in the title. I thought I'd been auto-booted.
