With the metatopic of this thread being obscure languages, I had some fun squeezing this into some list comprehensions (maybe someone's got an idea of how to keep track of the state within the list):

```

$ cat << EOF > pi.py

state = [0, 0, 2*8, 2*12]; _ = [print(f'\rRun {state.__setitem__(0, state[0] + 1) or state[0]}/{state[3]} | Last \u03c0: {current_pi:.6f} | *Average \u03c0: {(state.__setitem__(1, state[1] + current_pi) or state[1]) / state[0]:.6f}*', end='', flush=True) for current_pi in [(4 * sum([1 for _ in range(state[2]) if __import__("random").random()*2 + __import__("random").random()*2 < 1]) / state[2]) for _ in range(state[3])]]; print()

EOF

$ time python3 pi.py

Run 4096/4096 | Last π: 3.140625 | *Average π: 3.143051*

python3 pi.py 0.41s user 0.01s system 99% cpu 0.429 total

```

Play around with the `2*8` and `2*10` values in the state, they control the amount of rounds and the range in which the random values get generated respectively.

Well there is the remarkable[1]. I'm not really sure if it would fit your needs, but It's worth a look imho.

Pro: As you get a root shell by default, it's nicely hackable and costs a lot less than the Onyx Boox Max.

Con: it's only 10.3".

Wonderful write-up, great step by step descripting and some more insights on the underlying problems. There should me more write-ups structured like this!
