Creating a platform for onboarding and performance reviews of “AI workers” makes as much sense as creating a cafeteria for laptops.
Even if “AI workers” were a real thing today, you won’t need HR platforms to create PTO and work from home policies for them. 🤦🏾♂️
What sort of nightmare complicity is this?

Why are my live regions not working? by @patrick_h_lauke
'Live regions have a reputation for being "flaky" and inconsistent. While this can be attributed in part to shortcomings in current implementations, the problem can also be caused by developers misunderstanding how live regions are intended to work.'

Unfortunately, I was in the middle of a short editing session when the OSM outage (apparently due to a #DDoS) occurred. So I’m keeping my tab with iD and my pending changes open (hopefully not needing to rely on LocalStorage). I wish I had used #JOSM so I could save my session to a local file, but I was on a laptop without JOSM.
