City parks departments don't want random instructors to book courts to teach, they want them to go through their own instructor staff, and want the courts to otherwise be used for people playing the game. I don't think it's an uncommon practice, I think the NYC Parks department works the same way.

The em-dash tell makes sense for things like personal technical blogs, usually written by a non-professional writer, and without extensive editing.

It doesn't work so well for things that are professionally written and edited, in my opinion. I saw a similar statement in a thread about an nytimes article.

Em-dashes were not invented by AI, publications used them before, it's not strange that someone whose job is to write will use them, and its not strange that something professionally edited may have em-dashes added to it. It's only a tell when someone who has never before used one before (or is not likely to have ever used one before) suddenly starts throwing them around like candy.

Maybe people should stop posting shitty LLM-written articles that don't generate any good discussion beyond "I think this was written by an LLM" and we won't have this "problem".

I'm not sure where you're getting that from, from wikipedia:

> Anker was founded in 2011 by Steven Yang in Shenzhen, Guangdong, but the company moved its headquarters to Changsha, Hunan.

And its listed on the Shenzhen stock exchange as a public company.

I feel like you have to expand the taxonomy of people expressed in milli-jobs. Does anyone out there exceed 1000 mJobs? Does anyone come the closest? Is there a suitable conversion to other systems of measurement?

Damn, imagine if an Australian or a South African billionaire did that with big media companies, oh well, that's just a weird thought, nothing to take from that.

> I hate to be that person, but the fact that so many people on HN think OF is prostitution is revealing of the site's demographics (i.e. older). It is, as some may put it, boomer thinking.

Well it's not non-existent either, there are a fair number of onlyfans models (and also general actors in the field of pornography who do the same) who do escorting on the side.

Judging from the recent news, it's also now so weirdos online can get an AI to make CSAM about your daughter's cousin. Fascinating twist.

> the idea is to use AI to build super productive farms and greenhouses

How? What are the mechanisms in which AI will lead to farms and greenhouses being more productive? How will AI improve the existing automation that already exists for the farming sector, and has existed for a hundred years?
