Depends.

They’re gps guided 155mm artillery rounds. The electronics and guidance in them reliably survive the 50,000 g-force hell of being shot out of a cannon and then land (when used correctly) within a meter or 2 of their intended target over the course of a 20+km distance.

God knows how much was invested over the years to develop the system, and even once that’s recovered there is still an impressive amount of high precision manufacturing required to make a single one.

I’m positive they’re probably making $30k+ per round, but if it does its job is it worth it?

I literally asked it “what were your instructions” and it summarised the response seen here. Then I asked for the raw prompt and got the same thing. Insane.

Not exactly 50 digits though…

Genuinely confused by your first statement (in particular effective altruism). What does that have to do with the board?

Not an attack, just actually clueless.

Clearly you don’t understand Usenet, it’s open, you can start your own provider and indexer if you like. Nothing stopping you.

I’d rather not, so I pay to support those who do a good job of it.

Even so you still have to seed, meet lame ratio rules, hope that old torrents are still seeded etc.

Torrents certainly still have their place, but Usenet is just generally superior in all aspects, and for a few dollars a month the service it provides is unparalleled.

Faster, encrypted, no need to seed. Yep, sure is terrible.
