They did use Y-cruncher.

Edit: Some other fun tidbits: most of that 2.2 petabytes of storage wasn't actually used to store the 300 trillion digits itself - that number of digits fits in like 170 terabytes (which LTT is thinking of making available as a download, lol) - it's actually used as pseudo-ram during the actual calculation.

I wanted to just post the video, which has a lot more information (though not the kind of info you're looking for), but I didn't know if an LTT video was an "official" enough source for this community.

I suppose this was probably the first time that all of the digits of pi up to 300 trillion were calculated, even if the 300 trillionth specifically was already known.

Linus Tech Tips has just set the world record for calculating the most digits of pi, at 300,000,000,000,000 (three hundred trillion), breaking the former record of 202 trillion set in 2024.

Here's the video they made about it if you're interested.

Horizon: Zero Dawn. Such a haunting, beautiful story.

Me plugging my monitor into my mobo instead of my graphics card for three years. I thought I had just gotten reeeeally unlucky in the silicon lottery.

Some pretty messed up stuff.

Not sure why the Youtube link is in German - the video is in English, and I don't live in Germany.

Nintendo is never getting another cent of my money.

Same. My 6700XT is solid as a rock playing games through Proton and doing a bit of light AI work on the side.
