I am somewhat surprised by how poorly the production cost tracks bitcoin's price on the upswing. Obviously there's friction and delay in spinning up new mining rigs, but I guess I would've expected that delay to be less seve

I was expecting the proposed approach to be a prompt hack that gets the model to output a well-calibrated confidence value as text. "How confident are you in your answer? Let's calibrate carefully."
