4/27 Perhaps it's Thursday

can confirm the first one (what was that whole speech at the beginning about "I'm the best undergraduate who's more qualified than other undergraduates!!") - returned it and put "bad survey design" as the reason. Won't bother with the second one, ty

 

QBC crash during batch I want to cry.
There was some funky thing to get it working again, but I don't remember who said what about turning around 3 times, whistle, pray to the memory of CT and seriously, not cry.

 

Got halfway through that and it broke, and no requester reply.

Its half the price of QBC and has a free trial you can check out to see what you think

Its essentially just a catcher that will auto catch hits. It has some basic features and as far as I can tell, uses its own userbase to build req ratings the way that QBC uses TV.

The main reason I haven't switched over- no push alert support, no sleep feature

Also it doesn't use watchers as far as I know, its a very basic catcher - it does support favorite reqs so I guess it kinda uses watchers, but not as extensively as QBC

You'll have to run MTS alongside in order to run pandas

 

Also I'm starting to get annoyed with how processor heavy QBC is... becoming tempted to switch over just bc of that

In the "drawer" there is a drop down box called "watchers". I haven't figured out how to use it though. There are no instructions and I tried contacting the guy on Facebook with no answer.

 

Noah Turk hit broken for anybody else?

are you talking about the "Highly Detailed Image Captioning : Closed-Qual Test [one per person][~5m]" one?

It worked for me, I just didn't do it because you have to literally write a book for 1.50. Its a qual hit so I'm wondering if the real hits will at least have the pay upgraded to slave wages.

I can't figure out if this is the Noah Turk that used to have the chat hits, the awful fake Noah Turk that sucks, or the REEAALLY GOOD noah Turk that I have to think of when I need to speed things up in bed.

 

Yeah, for some reason its stuck on loading for me. Tried multiple hits, and browsers. I hope its the good noah turk, good batches back in the day.

 

Afternoon!
It feels like there aren't a great deal of HITs today, is anyone else feeling similar?

 

the "good" noah turk posted in february. I made 240 dollars in 3 hours. I cried tears of joy while doing that batch.

 

kayybee my friend, your post is an understatement. Mturk for the past couple years has been absolute trash, and its still the best place to make money online without any specific skillset.

 

accepted out of curiosity, also stuck on loading. poking through the page source, wondering if he'd appreciate a message about all the places his code looks borked not sure if that or an issue with cloudfront, but I suspect it may not be the most immediate fix
** eh. I'll go outside and touch grass, I bet it'll get fixed while I'm gone
