2024.05.16 19:05 articaf I feel like my life has hit a major dead end professionally.
Im a 30 year old, relatively healthy man. I became a firefighter at 19 after dropping out of college. I loved it. I worked full time for one agency, part time for another smaller agency and as needed for our local ambulance service. I was the youngest to be promoted to company officer status in our agency's history and lead my own shift. I was on every committee, county training group, special detail, special teams focusing on technical and water based recues. accomplishments. I received numerous awards of recognition from my departments and my fellow firemen. I ate it. I bled it.
But then I got hurt. I lost most of my hearing, and I couldn't hear or understand anything coming over our radios anymore. It was hard on scenes with all the noise too. I was a danger. So I medically retired at 28. I was told I didnt qualify for a pension because "if you can physically do any other job that would contribute to the fund, the state doesn't see you as disabled". I had a job at a company that sells fire equipment all lined up and I thought everything was good. Horrible management burned the sales guys and basically halved our pay about 6 months after I showed up. I found a job inspecting fire sprinkler systems for a multinational mega Corp and moved here. That was a year ago.
I hate it. With every fiber of my being it feels like I've stalled. And I'm not happy. But I have no degree, no experience outside of the first responder sphere, and anything I am qualified for on paper is paying shit pay. Anything thats making decent money and I know how to do, but I dont have the magical piece of paper for, they won't interview me because I'm "not qualified". Ive tried looking outside of the fire safety field, and am super passionate about the shooting sports, but the companies that work in that field all want degrees. Ive managed projects, worked with budgets, preformed HR duties, and was one of the Shift Safety Officers for my agency. Ive also been told I'm too young for management, regardless of previous acomloshments.
The last interview I had was going great, I thought, until I was told decade of experience I had accumulated at my fire department wasnt worth squat and they offered me $19/hr when the postings for the job said $60k/yr.
I can't afford to go back to school. I can't afford to open my own business with my crappy wages. I feel like I've hit a dead end.
Any advice?

2024.05.16 17:02 mcw1980 2024 review of OCR tools extracting text from handwritten forms and documents
| Hi everyone, I was recently tasked with finding a solution to perform OCR on handwritten forms (timesheets in my case, but this could also be applied to other handwritten forms and handwritten surveys, for example). Since I didn't find a comprehensive guide prior to doing my own research, I thought it could be useful if I shared my results here. This builds on a useful post here from last year that looked at the state of handwriting OCR in 2023, but had more of an emphasis on pure handwriting transcription rather than handwritten forms and documents in this case. I hope this summary is helpful for anybody else on a similar search. YMMV, and all of these services offer free trials to test your own documents against. If I have missed any, please add them to the comments, or let me know and I can add them. The test. I took a sample image showing a basic timesheet with handwritten text. I ran this image through as many OCR services as I could find that claimed to offer handwriting to text OCR, and compared the results. I was looking not only for accuracy in transcribing the handwriting to text, but also the ability to extract the data in a structured form, either as JSON, or as a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel). Quick summary. The two best results came from Microsoft Azure Document AI, and Handwriting OCR. Both provided near-perfect transcriptions of the test subject, and extracted structured data too. Overall, I preferred Handwriting OCR because of the better UI and direct export to Excel. Azure is a developer-focussed product so needs additional development to use it in production, but for a larger project I would also not hesitate to use it. Notes. Here's a list of the services I tried, and my notes as I went along. Most are online OCR services offering handwriting to text conversion. Also some large language models like GPT-4. I have also attached screenshots from some of these services to highlight what was good and bad. Transkribus Tested at: https://www.transkribus.org https://preview.redd.it/mfwdkpblxs0d1.png?width=1444&format=png&auto=webp&s=688665be8959c16083f48b52a7202f5f7e0379fe This is one of the most well-known services offering handwriting recognition, with a focus on historical documents. As tested, the handwriting recognition was surprisingly poor, with lots of mistakes and non-words. Transkribus does offer the possibility to train on a particular style of handwriting (maybe useful if you have a lots of documents from one source), but for processing lots of documents where each document has handwriting from a new source, it looked like the handwriting to text conversion was too error-prone. This made it a non-starter for me. - Strengths:
- May perform well for historical documents.
- Offers a web UI.
- Pricing seems reasonable.
- Weaknesses
- Handwriting recognition was really bad out of the box.
- Requires the language to be preset - does not appear to detect the language automatically.
Google Document AI Tested at: https://cloud.google.com/document-ai?hl=en#demo I expected this to be the best of all, considering Google's massive investment in AI. I tested it through the demo here. Although Google Document AI does offer extraction of table data, the results were not great, with too many transcription errors. Based on these results, I would need to carefully review each extracted table for structure and content - not great. Aside from the demo page, there is no prebuilt UI so this would need a developer to integrate into my workflow. - Strengths
- Inexpensive
- Offers structured data extraction
- Weaknesses
- API only, requires developer to create a UI to process and download results.
- Table extraction was inaccurate.
- Handwriting recognition was not perfect.
Microsoft Azure AI Tested at: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/ai-services/ai-document-intelligence Azure Document AI Like Google, Azure is one of the leaders in AI and document automation. I expected good results and in this case I was not disappointed. Azure read all handwriting correctly, and provided a correctly-formatted table containing this data. The downside for me, similar to Google AI, is that there is no UI provided (besides a demo portal) so this needs to be built from scratch by a development team. - Strengths
- Inexpensive.
- Accurate results.
- Offers structured data extraction.
- Weaknesses
- API only - development costs of building your own interface.
- Not fast
Pen to Print Tested at: https://www.pen-to-print.com/handwriting-to-text-online-ocr Pen to Print - transcription is good but no structured data. This is a popular iOS and Android app that also has a web app too. The handwriting recognition was good, but the output was not in a structured form so the results are of limited use for my purposes. - Strengths
- Simple UI.
- Handwriting recognition was accurate.
- Weaknesses
- Feels quite basic.
- Did not extract structured data.
Handwriting OCR Tested at https://www.handwritingocr.com HandwritingOCR - the best results, including all the data I wanted from the form. Offers handwriting OCR and table data extraction, so this looked promising. Results were outstanding in my test - the transcription was error-free, and a separate tab allowed me to view and download the table data in Excel format. This is all provided inside a web UI with API access available. - Strengths
- Excellent result - the best overall.
- Extracts both key-value pairs and tables together.
- Export directly to Excel.
- Web UI was easy to use.
- Inexpensive.
- Weaknesses
Nanonets OCR Tested at: https://nanonets.com Nanonets - incomplete data and transcription errors. Offers a whole range of OCR services, including handwriting to text. At first glance, it looked impressive and I had high expectations of a good result. In my test, Nanonets managed to extract the table but with numerous handwriting transcription mistakes, so the result was only partially useful. - Strengths
- Weaknesses
- Transcription mistakes.
- Expensive ($0.30 per page).
Google Cloud Vision AI Tested at: https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/drag-and-drop Not to be confused with Google Document AI, though the transcription was in fact better. This service does not offer table data extraction though. - Strengths
- Handwriting transcription was accurate.
- Inexpensive.
- Weaknesses
- Does not extract structured data.
- API only.
ChatGPT Tested at: https://chatgpt.com and via API I tried OpenAI's GPT 4 with Vision through both the API and ChatGPT. I found it can deliver very impressive handwriting to text conversion, but it also suffered from hallucination, and it could not reliably extract structured data. I also had problems with latency and timeouts when calling it through the API. - Strengths
- Weaknesses
- Quite expensive and slow.
- Tends to invent (hallucinate) text.
- Would not reliably extract data in structured form.
Claude AI Tested at https://claude.ai Similar to GPT-4, I tried both Claude Sonnet and Opus. The results were ok but suffered from the same problems as GPT-4 - hallucination, and the unreliability of data extraction. Opus is really expensive, too. Google Gemini Pro Tested at: https://gemini.google.com/ Much worse than GPT-4, not worthy of further consideration at this point. submitted by mcw1980 to computervision [link] [comments] |

Keeping employees on board is vital for companies looking to hold onto their top talent, ensure smooth operations, and minimize the costs associated with high turnover. Here are key strategies to enhance employee retention effectively:
Offer Competitive Pay and Benefits
Attract and keep your workforce by offering competitive salaries, bonuses, and benefits. Regularly review and adjust your compensation packages to stay competitive in your industry.
Promote Career Growth and Learning
Provide opportunities for career advancement and professional development. Offer training programs, mentorship, and clear career paths to help employees grow their skills and advance in their careers, which in turn, strengthens their loyalty to the company.
Foster a Positive Work Environment
Create a workplace culture that values employee well-being, work-life balance, and open communication. Build an environment based on respect, fairness, and support to help team members thrive.
Recognize and Reward Employees
Develop a recognition and rewards program to celebrate employees’ achievements, contributions, and exceptional performance. Recognition can range from verbal praise to awards and bonuses, or even extra days off.
Support Work-Life Balance
Encourage work-life balance with flexible work options like remote work, flexible scheduling, or shorter work weeks. This helps employees manage their personal and professional lives, reducing burnout.
Develop Effective Leadership
Strong leadership and management skills are crucial for keeping employees. Train managers in constructive feedback, supporting career growth, and resolving issues quickly. Promote open dialogue and feedback on management and workplace culture.
Engage Employees
Involve employees in decision-making, listen to their ideas, and encourage their participation in achieving company goals. Engaged employees are more committed and loyal to the organization.
Prioritize Employee Health and Wellness
Invest in employee wellness programs that promote healthy lifestyles, stress management, and overall well-being. Consider initiatives like wellness challenges, mindfulness sessions, or access to counseling services.
Maintain Open Communication
Keep communication within the company transparent. Share information about company goals, changes, and successes to make employees feel included and important.
Learn from Employee Feedback
Use exit interviews to understand why employees leave and gather valuable feedback to improve your retention strategies. Address the issues identified to make your workplace better.

2024.05.16 10:10 globeexplorer17 Aboriginal Culture: Ancient Wisdom and Living Traditions
In our quest to explore Australia's diverse delights, we delve into the rich cultural heritage of the Aboriginal people, the continent's original inhabitants. From the rock art galleries of Kakadu National Park to the sacred sites of Uluru-Kata Tjuta, we immerse ourselves in the ancient wisdom and living traditions of Australia's indigenous cultures.
Meeting with local elders and storytellers, we gain insight into the Dreamtime legends and spiritual beliefs that have shaped the land for thousands of years. Participating in traditional ceremonies and bush tucker experiences during our
Australia Tour, we gain a deeper appreciation for the profound connection between the Aboriginal people and the natural world around them.
Adelaide and the Barossa Valley: Wine and Gastronomy
Continuing our journey, we arrive in Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, renowned for its thriving arts scene and world-class wine regions. Exploring the charming streets of the city's historic center, we discover a vibrant culinary scene, with bustling markets, chic cafes, and award-winning restaurants serving up a feast for the senses.
Venturing into the nearby Barossa Valley, we indulge in wine tastings at boutique vineyards and cellar doors, sampling exquisite Shiraz and Riesling varietals. Paired with gourmet cheeses and artisanal produce, the flavors of the Barossa come alive, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the region's rich gastronomic heritage.
Perth and Rottnest Island: Coastal Adventures
Our journey concludes on the west coast, where we explore the laid-back charm of Perth and the natural beauty of Rottnest Island. Basking in the Mediterranean climate of Western Australia, we stroll along the sun-kissed shores of Cottesloe Beach, watching surfers ride the waves and dolphins play in the shallows.
Boarding a ferry to Rottnest Island, we discover a paradise of pristine beaches, turquoise lagoons, and unique wildlife, including the adorable quokka. Cycling along scenic coastal trails, we explore secluded coves and hidden bays, snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs and swimming with playful seals in the crystal-clear waters.
Conclusion: Embracing the Diversity of Australia
As our journey through Australia's diverse delights comes to an end, we reflect on the myriad experiences we've shared and the memories we've made along the way. From the cultural heritage of Aboriginal traditions to the culinary delights of Adelaide and the coastal adventures of Perth and Rottnest Island, our exploration of the Southern Hemisphere has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Whether traversing rugged landscapes, savoring gourmet cuisine, or immersing ourselves in ancient cultures, each moment has been a testament to the richness and diversity of Australia's natural and cultural heritage. As we bid farewell to this land of contrasts, we carry with us a newfound appreciation for the wonders of the world and the boundless possibilities that await those who dare to venture beyond the Outback.

2024.05.16 00:34 Ginomania Big News: Awards are back
Original post:
https://www.reddit.com/modnews/s/C9JuJoHqAg from Admin
u/SmEllen_Fresh Original Heading:
Wrapping the Golden Upvote Pilot + New(ish) and Improved Awards
Hi Mods,
I’m
u/SmEllen_Fresh from the product team and I’m here with an (overdue) update on the gold and Contributor Program. We’ve reflected on how we rolled out these features, and want to rethink how we approach rewarding good contributions on Reddit. So, to close the loop on the pilot, we’re sharing some big news: today we’re launching new(ish) and improved awards. Rollout starts today on reddit.com and Reddit’s iOS and Android apps.
I’ll walk you through what’s coming, and how we got here. But first…
Where we’ve been
ICYMI, last year
we released new features that we thought would make the experience of rewarding high-quality posts and comments even better. To address feedback that awards were starting to clutter posts and feeds, we replaced legacy awards with a simplified experience where users could purchase “new” gold – displayed as a golden upvote – directly with cash, rather than having to purchase coins first.
While the golden upvote was certainly simpler in theory, in practice, it missed the mark. It wasn’t as fun or expressive as legacy awards, and it was unclear how it benefited the recipient.
As part of the launch of the golden upvote, we also introduced
the Contributor Program in the US. The program allows eligible users to earn cash for gold and eligible karma. (It’s worth noting that although there were understandable concerns about the Contributor Program leading to karma farming or other spam and fraud issues, we haven’t seen an increase in this behavior since the rollout 6 months ago). Unlike the golden upvote, interest in the program has grown… more on that in a second.
Finally, as part of this launch, we sunset coins. We gave those with a balance three months to spend their coins before we cleared balances and removed the monthly drip as a benefit of Reddit Premium.
Swing and a miss
Our goal is to make Reddit a place where people who make quality posts and comments get real value for their contributions, and create incentives for better comments and posts to keep your communities healthy and vibrant.
Your feedback has been spot-on throughout the process; here’s what we learned:
- Awards need to be expressive - Awards are a core part of the Reddit experience and should be expressive. If they’re too simple, they stop being fun.
- Awards given should visually support the recipient - The simplified golden upvote design wasn’t as fun or expressive as legacy awards, and it was unclear how it supported the recipient. (Several of you opted into the new golden upvote experience anyway, and your feedback helped us get here. We appreciate that.) Redditors love seeing other redditors get their kudos. It’s important to show the recognition contributors receive, and that their contribution matters.
- Awards given should convey real value to the recipient - The Contributor Program now gives redditors opportunity to get a cash payout as they receive awards on their content.
- But that value didn’t need to come at the cost of existing balances - While we had to sunset coins to implement this, we could’ve done better by our coin holders, i.e. some of the top awarders and award-recipients. Coin balances represented a commitment to rewarding comments and posts that delight fellow redditors. It was frustrating to see that disappear–even with the chance to spend down the balance.
- Eligibility to earn cash shouldn't incentivize spam and karma farming - This is an understandable concern. We have been monitoring the Contributor Program closely and haven’t seen spam, clickbait, and trolling that could attract engagement, arising from this program since the rollout six months ago.
What we’re doing about it
We’re launching a new and improved awards experience. We’re shouting from the rafters: Awards are back! Our goal with this refreshed experience is to bring back the fun of awards while minimizing in-feed clutter. The new experience features iconic expressions you’ll recognize in addition to new, uniquely Reddity ones. We’re also launching a leaderboard that shows the top awards for a post or comment.
To give an award, click the award icon underneath the content you’d like to recognize, select the award you want from a digestible set of fun options, and click Give Award. If you don’t have enough gold for the award, you can buy some on the same screen and give the award. Any redditor can view the awards you give in the awards leaderboard of a post or comment, unless the award is given anonymously.
Tap on the awards button in a post or comment to give an award and purchase gold View the top awards and gold earned by a post or comment in the awards leaderboard We’re (re)introducing gold as the way to purchase awards on Reddit. Gold has meant a lot of things in Reddit history. It's referred to coins, Reddit Premium, and more. With the new version of Awards, gold both purchased and received will be stored as a balance on Reddit. Redditors can buy gold in bulk and spend down their balance to award content, or buy gold at the time of giving the award.
We’ve expanded the Contributor Program internationally. We’re expanding beyond the US. Eligible redditors in
35 countries can now earn cash for gold and karma earned through their contributions to the community. While we haven’t seen an increase in spam, fraud, or moderator burden to date, we’ll continue to monitor it as we scale the program to new countries.
We’re helping you keep your communities safe. If redditors notice potentially harmful awards on a post or comment, they can report it to you for removal if needed. Safety is paramount to us for refreshed awards - so Pease don’t be shy (we know you won’t be) if there are other ways we can ensure safety for your communities as awards roll back out. NSFW subreddits, trauma and addiction support subreddits, and subreddits with mature content are not eligible for awards.
We’re giving exclusive awards to coin holders. If you had a balance when we announced that coins were going away, you’ll have access to a number of exclusive awards to give for free when we launch this week. No action required, those eligible will see a balance of these awards when awarding a post or comment starting May 15.
Exclusive awards available to coin holders For more info, you can check out the help articles for

2024.05.15 22:17 Walk1000Miles Revamping the Reddit Award Process
Have you ever seen a post / comment that was so great it deserved acknowledgement and recognition?
Me too!
I have been rewarding fantastic posts that our Subredditors (and other Subredditors in other Subreddits) have contributed by using the ⬆️ arrow feature.
This was a feature that Moderators needed to turn on. Not all Moderators did so.
The ⬆️ arrow feature has been deactivated.
Many Subreddits did not provide a way of awarding great posts / comments.
It looks like a Reddit platform-wide process change is on the way.
Please note the award emblem / icon at the bottom of all posts / comments.
It has been activated!
Just press the emblem / icon.
A change is here!
This new announcement from Reddit discusses the
future of the Reddit Award process moving forward - click here.
Note:
■ If you had unspent coins? Reddit is offering the "Free Award" option to you in accordance with how many coins you had on hand and were unable to spend.
■ Reddit actually apologized to the community for the Award Change implemented previously.
■ The system is now open to other countries.
Have a great week!

Thanks so much for reading!
You can get this entire post emailed to you each week in my
newsletter.
But hold on, aren’t there other newsletters in San Jose???
Yep! And those are all super groovy! My newsletter is primarily a place for me to compile a curated list of things happening all over town, not just in the downtown spaces. There are small, DIY shows almost every day, and they generally don’t have a budget or the know how to promote themselves on platforms where you’re going to see. I’m pretty closely connected with a lot of the folks who organize these events (and have even helped organize many myself!) I occasionally include interviews with locals, newsy bits, and other things as they pop into my brain. Either way, I hope you enjoyed this post, and I hope it helped you find something to do this week. 🙂

2024.05.15 20:31 SmEllen_Fresh Wrapping the Golden Upvote Pilot + New(ish) and Improved Awards
Hi Mods,
I’m
u/SmEllen_Fresh from the product team and I’m here with an (overdue) update on the gold and Contributor Program. We’ve reflected on how we rolled out these features, and want to rethink how we approach rewarding good contributions on Reddit. So, to close the loop on the pilot, we’re sharing some big news: today we’re launching new(ish) and improved awards. Rollout starts today on reddit.com and Reddit’s iOS and Android apps.
I’ll walk you through what’s coming, and how we got here. But first…
Where we’ve been
ICYMI, last year
we released new features that we thought would make the experience of rewarding high-quality posts and comments even better. To address feedback that awards were starting to clutter posts and feeds, we replaced legacy awards with a simplified experience where users could purchase “new” gold – displayed as a golden upvote – directly with cash, rather than having to purchase coins first.
While the golden upvote was certainly simpler in theory, in practice, it missed the mark. It wasn’t as fun or expressive as legacy awards, and it was unclear how it benefited the recipient.
As part of the launch of the golden upvote, we also introduced
the Contributor Program in the US. The program allows eligible users to earn cash for gold and eligible karma. (It’s worth noting that although there were understandable concerns about the Contributor Program leading to karma farming or other spam and fraud issues, we haven’t seen an increase in this behavior since the rollout 6 months ago). Unlike the golden upvote, interest in the program has grown… more on that in a second.
Finally, as part of this launch, we sunset coins. We gave those with a balance three months to spend their coins before we cleared balances and removed the monthly drip as a benefit of Reddit Premium.
Swing and a miss
Our goal is to make Reddit a place where people who make quality posts and comments get real value for their contributions, and create incentives for better comments and posts to keep your communities healthy and vibrant.
Your feedback has been spot-on throughout the process; here’s what we learned:
- Awards need to be expressive - Awards are a core part of the Reddit experience and should be expressive. If they’re too simple, they stop being fun.
- Awards given should visually support the recipient - The simplified golden upvote design wasn’t as fun or expressive as legacy awards, and it was unclear how it supported the recipient. (Several of you opted into the new golden upvote experience anyway, and your feedback helped us get here. We appreciate that.) Redditors love seeing other redditors get their kudos. It’s important to show the recognition contributors receive, and that their contribution matters.
- Awards given should convey real value to the recipient - The Contributor Program now gives redditors opportunity to get a cash payout as they receive awards on their content.
- But that value didn’t need to come at the cost of existing balances - While we had to sunset coins to implement this, we could’ve done better by our coin holders, i.e. some of the top awarders and award-recipients. Coin balances represented a commitment to rewarding comments and posts that delight fellow redditors. It was frustrating to see that disappear–even with the chance to spend down the balance.
- Eligibility to earn cash shouldn't incentivize spam and karma farming - This is an understandable concern. We have been monitoring the Contributor Program closely and haven’t seen spam, clickbait, and trolling that could attract engagement, arising from this program since the rollout six months ago.
What we’re doing about it
We’re launching a new and improved awards experience. We’re shouting from the rafters: Awards are back! Our goal with this refreshed experience is to bring back the fun of awards while minimizing in-feed clutter. The new experience features iconic expressions you’ll recognize in addition to new, uniquely Reddity ones. We’re also launching a leaderboard that shows the top awards for a post or comment.
To give an award, click the award icon underneath the content you’d like to recognize, select the award you want from a digestible set of fun options, and click Give Award. If you don’t have enough gold for the award, you can buy some on the same screen and give the award. Any redditor can view the awards you give in the awards leaderboard of a post or comment, unless the award is given anonymously.
Tap on the awards button in a post or comment to give an award and purchase gold View the top awards and gold earned by a post or comment in the awards leaderboard We’re (re)introducing gold as the way to purchase awards on Reddit. Gold has meant a lot of things in Reddit history. It's referred to coins, Reddit Premium, and more. With the new version of Awards, gold both purchased and received will be stored as a balance on Reddit. Redditors can buy gold in bulk and spend down their balance to award content, or buy gold at the time of giving the award.
We’ve expanded the Contributor Program internationally. We’re expanding beyond the US. Eligible redditors in
35 countries can now earn cash for gold and karma earned through their contributions to the community. While we haven’t seen an increase in spam, fraud, or moderator burden to date, we’ll continue to monitor it as we scale the program to new countries.
We’re helping you keep your communities safe. If redditors notice potentially harmful awards on a post or comment, they can report it to you for removal if needed. Safety is paramount to us for refreshed awards - so please don’t be shy (we know you won’t be) if there are other ways we can ensure safety for your communities as awards roll back out. NSFW subreddits, trauma and addiction support subreddits, and subreddits with mature content are not eligible for awards.
We’re giving exclusive awards to coin holders. If you had a balance when we announced that coins were going away, you’ll have access to a number of exclusive awards to give for free when we launch this week. No action required, those eligible will see a balance of these awards when awarding a post or comment starting May 15.
Exclusive awards available to coin holders For more info, you can check out the help articles for
