Google employee Emma Haruka Iwao smashes Pi world record - WYHI edition
Posted on 3/14/19 at 9:40 am

quote:
The value of the number pi has been calculated to a new world record length of 31 trillion digits, far past the previous record of 22 trillion.
The calculation required 170TB of data (for comparison, 200,000 music tracks take up 1TB) and took 25 virtual machines 121 days to complete.

"I feel very surprised," Ms Iwao, who has worked at Google for the past three years, said of her achievement. "I am still trying to adjust to the reality. The world record has been really hard."

At this point, aren't we just kind of taking the computer's word for it?

Must be a hellava tough job. Type in on keyboard: Compute Pi. Go get coffee for a couple of years.

Somebody needs to find out the last number in the sequence and do some quick division and break her record by 1.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give that a 3.1416..............

pretty much. But there are some unique things to pi, so I'm guessing they have some algorithm that would spot if a string of digits was full of shite.

So this tranny kicked off a program that needlessly ate TBs of storage?
Why?
