Pretty Impressive Google Cloud employee calculates pi to 100 trillion digits but to be honest: _This time around to calculate 100 trillion digits, the computer processed about 82,000 TB of data._ is a wast of space and energy in my eyes. Do we really need this? Sure, impressive we can, but do we really need this?

I agree with you, @carsten. It's a waste of resources. We do not need to know it this accurately. Even for NASA 15 decimal places were enough in 2016. In 2013, astronomer Florian Freistetter wrote that 38 digits after the decimal point were enough for the observable universe to calculate its volume and have an error smaller than the diameter of a hydrogen atom. Not sure if this has changed a lot since then. I reckon with a hundred decimal places you're more than covered.
