At this rate, finding the last digit is probably just a few years down the road.

    That’s approximately 314 trillion more digits than is necessary to calculate the circumference of the observable universe to within a Planck length.

    (The actual number is 62.)

    Last but not least, the OS was changed from Windows Server to Ubuntu 24.04.2, a simple switch that resulted in better I/O performance on its own.

    Oh boy, here we go.

      I think there’s proofs to show that won’t happen. Don’t ask me to find them or explain them, it’s beyond my scope.

      What I’m waiting for is them finding a repeating sequence of 1s and 0s that when arranged in a matrix form a crude circle. A message to those who can learn to find it, with more to follow.

      Pi by definition has no last digit, if it had one it would be possible to square the circle (even if it wouud require an absurd amount of precision)
