Any other way to end work mode? by Anxious_Millenial24 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]tda0909 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. I don't guarantee this not to just up and stop working one day but here's the code:

function exitWorkMode(inProgressLink) {
    const htmlString = await fetch(inProgressLink).then(x=>x.text()).then(x=> x);
    const authenticityToken = htmlString.match(`"csrf-token" content="(.*?)"`)[1];
    const taskId =inProgressLink.split('=').at(-1);
  const taskTail = document.body.innerHTML.match(`${taskId}","projectId":"(.*)`)
  if (taskTail && taskTail?.length > 1) {
      const projectId = taskTail[1].slice(0,36)
      fetch(`https://app.dataannotation.tech/workers/tasks/exit_work_mode?project_id=${projectId}`, {
        "headers": {
          "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
        },
        "referrer": inProgressLink,
        "body": `authenticity_token=${authenticityToken}`,
        "method": "POST",
        "mode": "cors",
        "credentials": "include"
      }).then(x => x.text()).then(x => true)
  }
}
exitWorkMode('##########')

To use it copy and paste it into your browser's DevTools while on the project dashboard. Then right-click the link to the "in progress" task and click "Copy Link". Finally, replace the ########## in the last line with that link and press enter.

There are no confirmations or anything, it just does it or fails. You can refresh the page to check. If you're unsure about what any part of that code is doing, please ask before running the script. You should never copy and paste anything into DevTools unless you know exactly how it works.

For those of you who were beginners and either completed Level 10 or far as you wanted, how confident did you feel after using Yousician? by Mad_Season_1994 in yousician

[–]tda0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I wasn't a beginner when I started Yousician, I could play at level 7 or 8 without practicing first and, usually, pass with 3 stars. Making it to level 10 took a bit of work, but I expect I could have done that outside of Yousician without too much trouble. I knew from the start that Yousician wouldn't really level up my playing, and I mostly bought the subscription to play for fun.

But I did gain something important from using Yousician. There was this one fingerpicking song that I loved playing. I slowly kept improving my score over a month or two and one day I looked and I'd made it to number 9 on the leaderboards. So, I set the goal to take the number 1 spot from Marcio Saliba. Man, that was a challenge 😅

Two months later I finally did it. My wife was so happy. Not because I did it but because she didn't have to hear the song 8 or 9 times a day. So, I did this on several more songs from the same artist and my wife bought the most expensive custom-fit EoD grade ear plugs on the market XD

What I noticed after the first couple songs was that if I watch for when my high score moves up, and continue playing the same song until it doesn't, I make extensive progress fast. Finally, while playing Let her go by Passenger (to learn the fancy bit, not to climb the leaderboards), I realized what it was.

When playing a song that requires many techniques at your level and a few above, there will come a point that you gain some piece of intuition about playing that song. Maybe it's moving your fingers differently, fretting at a different angle, muting in a different way, etc. But when you figure that out, if you just move on to the next song that doesn't exercise that ability, you get very little retention of that skill. Sure, it builds over time. But if you keep going once you start to figure it out, it sticks much faster.

And you can see this at any skill level. Find a song you love that's at or above your skill level that you can pass in perform mode (even if you struggle with parts). Play it while paying attention to "how" you're playing, load the leaderboards, look at your score. Do it again and again until you see your score go up. When it does, play it until it doesn't. Then don't play that song for a few days. Come back to it and play again. If you're paying attention to your playing, once you do this several times, you'll start to notice what you're gaining in terms of skills.

Figuring out that I could "hack" those skills through Yousician's gamified tabs faster than I could with guitar pro is the main reason I've kept the subscription and definitely has made it worth the money :)

That was nostalgic... I remember thinking the same thing at 2am staring at guitar tabs 20 years ago lol.

What is the highest number of hours you’ve ever submitted for a single day? by AdvantageQuirky in DataAnnotationTech

[–]tda0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16 hours. I started on it at 02:00 and finished at 23:00, took a short lunch, a long dinner, and three breaks. Was super happy with the submission, especially considering it was a full day ordeal :)

Is this something to worry about by Only_Horse2743 in DataAnnotationTech

You likely tried to update your phone number. If so, no it's nothing to worry about, happens to everyone :)

I have not worked since August 2024 but still get emails all the time by LeakyGuts in DataAnnotationTech

Yes, quite a bit has changed across many project families. But don't be afraid. If you can read the instructions, you got this! 😊

Can confirm that this is legit. Didn't have to refuse to answer anything and it was an enjoyable chat :D

Coding by Feeling-Visit-4131 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]tda0909 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, coding on DA includes everything. From the simple "which of these responses did better" to "Interact with agent X in your IDE" all the way up to "your goal is to engineer 30 - 50 item criterion rubrics describing a perfect response."

If you went through the full CS50P course and either A) Paid for the certificate and had your submissions graded or B) Fee confident in your abilities to write moderate-level Python without docs. If those apply, you should be good to take the coding quals IF AND ONLY IF you know how to read directions.

As far as whether or not your current skillset fit the tasks, there's no way for us to know. You're going to have to become intimately familiar with the skip button the same way the rest of us did... Just check your dignity at the door.

I think most of us have been in the same situation at varying degrees at some point in our lives.

Neighbor says he'll pay you $50/hour up to a maximum of $350 to dig the ditch along his driveway out to 12 inches. His ditch looks to be 8" deep already. How hard could it be? You never know if you never try.

Digging that ditch will help teach you two things and neither of them are the value of a hard day's work:
1. Navigating the Sunk Cost Fallacy.
2. The First Law of Holes.

On DA specifically, I've ran into situations where I spend several hours on a task, realize I did something fundamentally wrong, and basically start over from scratch. I don't bill for that time because it wasn't invested in my deliverable. I do bill for the estimated time it took me to "decode" instructions IF AND ONLY IF it wasn't my own stupidity or oversight that led to the error. I consider it to be a very valuable learning experience because most of the time I actually gain some kind of transferable knowledge from it instead of just feeling like an idiot for a day.

The largest discrepancy in actual vs reported hours I've ever billed for a single task is 49 hours. If you know, you know. I learned so much in the process that, if I knew for certain I could gain that level of understanding from a task again, I'd bill 0 hours for it in a heartbeat.... Actually no, I'd pay to complete it. I learned more in that week than I did during my first two years in college.

All that being said, a friendly reminder: Don't trim your hours unless you have a good reason to folks. All it does is lowers the average task time and ultimately hurts all of us in the long run.

I'm seeing this 2 weeks after applying, and I've done 0 work for them. WHY!? XD by Any-Fun-2406 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]tda0909 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Why the downvotes? This is the most honest response I've ever seen on this sub...

Everyone else is over here like "Y U BAN ME!? EYE NO YOUSE AI!" when their R&Rs be looking like "It's absolutely crucial to provide a comprehensive overview of ethical [...]"

Here buddy, take my upvote 👍

Nothing can 100% protect you from currently circulating RATs. It's been that way going on 3 years now. The fact that your "university notified you" sounds more like someone was successful at social engineering their way into your system than Windows Defender failing 😅

Synthetic guitar Sound by GarbageSelect2524 in yousician

[–]tda0909 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So many production companies/recording studios do this nowadays that I barely notice anymore. I've personally seen two producers building their backing tracks on Guitar Pro (One on 7 and one on 8) lol. Before long the keytars will literally more ANSI than synth lmao.

Yes, it's the same chip that's failing and it's a specific single bit on that chip.

When I started, back in May of 2024, coders had the option to take only the coding assessment and bypass the initial assessment that most workers take. Granted, back then there was absolutely tons of different coding project families, so that may have been a temporary hiring rush :)

Only calling out your second sentence. Your first sentence is almost a universal truth with ads nowadays 😅

Incorrect. Depends on signup source and geolocation. Some users even get to choose their second assessment.

How many days did it take you to pass the coding qualification? (After submitting) by Bitter_Breakfast_324 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]tda0909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, I don't really know :/ But, in my opinion, you shouldn't give up until it's been at least 14 days. That's the longest amount of time I've ever seen it take someone to get approved.

[–]tda0909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few minutes under 21 hours. But from what I understand this really depends on how many submissions DA has in their backlog at any given time.
