It might be more efficient per acre, but it’s less efficient per person-hour.
As the weight goes up, the stress on the skin goes up. But the skin doesn’t go any stronger.
So you need to feed, support (literally) and manage them round the clock to control their growth and stop them from splitting and allowing pests and bacteria inside.

Europe@feddit.org•Thanks to EU regulations, we now have the REAL prices of in-game purchases / micro-transactions displayed in EURO in the game Fortnite. The real prices are NOT being shown in game anywhere else in theEnglish
2·10 months agoShit, some games are just winning currency. Look at “social gambling”. It’s just gambling without the ability to win your money back.
There’s an imbalance of power in it.
You can spend $10 for 1000vbucks or whatever. That costs you. There’s no way of you getting those vbucks on demand exactly when you want it.
The game provider on the other hand, can shit out vbucks until the cows come home. Doesn’t cost them a thing.
In some cases, free credits make them money. Heavily discounted credits for your first purchase entices new buyers into breaking the “first purchase barrier”, which drastically makes it easier to sell a second time, even if the price is 10x.
Free credits can also lure players who have had a bad streak back, and back to spending money.
In game currencies exist to detach you from the true cost of playing games, and to give you the feeling of being rewarded with something of value.

Hell, the last 3 isps I’ve used have also been CGNAT networks.
And with CGNAT, you share your IP with however many other people. Maybe not at VPN scale, but it’s not 1:1 like it used to be.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft pushes staff to use internal AI tools more, and may consider this in reviews. 'Using AI is no longer optional.'English
7·1 year agoDitto.
But I manage a team of embedded developers. On a specialised commercially restricted embedded platform.
AI does not know a thing about our tech. The stuff it does know is either a violation of the vendors contractual covenants or made up bullshit. And Our vendor’s documentation is supplemented by a cumulative decades of knowledge.
Yet still “you gotta use AI”.


My favourite (that I saw a human do) was asserting on unconstrained mocks with a typo (so they always asserted true)
Hundreds of tests. Not exactly pointless as they did call the code so maybe caught some issues. But we fixed the typo and barely half of them passed.
No idea how the software worked, but it did.
