Totally agree. It was worth my time just to hear the podcast.

 

Hey all... can someone tell me what the latest version of QBC is please? I am running 1.7.3 and it is unusable. Thanks.

 

Agreed. Even if the pay ended up being lower. I feel like I want to learn more now.

 

Language Experiments's AI hits have been teasing me on Prolific all. day.
Finally caught one!

 

That is the version I have and it seems to be working fine on my end.

 

I cannot seem to adjust the scraper timer. It is at 975ms and it is screwing with everything. I have to turn QBC off just to see requester ratings, my earnings, etc...

 

I love the ones where you rate the AI's, er, creative efforts. 10/10 entertainment, could do all day

 

That's the one I got!

 

Its working fine for me but I can't change that setting either and was wondering why it can't be changed.

One thing I'd note is that the MTurk site has been going down a good amount the last couple days and if you try to do stuff with QBC while its down, it will give you a lot of various issues... I'd wait till MTurk is not down and then re-open QBC

 

I did that one earlier today! One of the answers was in binary. Like what is wrong with you, bot?

 

OK thanks. Today is the first day I logged in for about six months. I very much appreciate this info.

 

good times

 

Hopefully that helps, not sure what else could be happening - some users have reported problems that others don't seem to experience

You can load your MTurk Dashboard or Queue URL to see if MTurk is up or down. If it loads ok, should be good, although it can fluctuate between up/down in a matter of seconds

I would really like to be able to change the Panda ms timer & scraper setting though

 

I don't think there is a way to adjust the scraper timer unfortunately. I know earlier you said you were having high PREs so make sure you aren't running anything else like MTS or PandaCrazy or whatever else people use.

 

I have seen more than once now, something about the "Website Unavailable" issue (I think anyway) can trigger QBC to go wild and rapidly catch a full queue of a single hit, and it will skyrocket your PREs

It sounds like @malysa experienced this the other day with MTS also

 

Ooooh got myself a second AI creativity task! Rolling in the money today!
