| 2025-11-11 21:18:26 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Zemyla> In 10^200 years, all protons and neutrons in the universe will have likely decayed. Unless you plan on porting your data to diffuse electron-positron-photon clouds, I wouldn't worry about it. |
| 2025-11-11 21:16:17 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | ok 144, more precisely |
| 2025-11-11 21:15:12 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | monochrom: if you use planck time you already lose about 146 bits just describing one second |
| 2025-11-11 21:15:06 +0100 | <monochrom> | You are so generous :) |
| 2025-11-11 21:14:34 +0100 | <darkling> | About 25 minutes? |
| 2025-11-11 21:14:29 +0100 | darkling | checks watch |
| 2025-11-11 21:14:08 +0100 | <monochrom> | Oh I just need a theory on the fate of this civilization. |
| 2025-11-11 21:13:34 +0100 | <darkling> | Max number of bits would depend on your favourite theory on the fate of the universe. |
| 2025-11-11 21:13:21 +0100 | <monochrom> | It's OK! We can go 512. :) |
| 2025-11-11 21:13:06 +0100 | <monochrom> | I was hoping that 128 would b enough. |
| 2025-11-11 21:12:23 +0100 | <darkling> | Wikipedia says the Universe is about 8*10^60 Planck units old right now, so that's about 204 bits for present use. |

| 2025-11-11 21:09:23 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | so how many bits? :P |
| 2025-11-11 21:08:47 +0100 | <darkling> | Signed integer, of course. Just in case. |
| 2025-11-11 21:07:45 +0100 | <darkling> | Number of Planck times since the Big Bang. :) |

| 2025-11-11 20:56:21 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <sm> that must be a trick question. The only right answer is to not answer :) |

| 2025-11-11 20:47:17 +0100 | <gentauro> | follow-up question, how many bits do you need to store `date` and `time` right? I vote for 96-bits (32 bits for date and 64 for time) |
| 2025-11-11 20:41:00 +0100 | <gentauro> | sm: everybody does ;) |
| 2025-11-11 20:40:46 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | so, many, apparently |
| 2025-11-11 20:40:41 +0100 | <sm> | he knwos |
| 2025-11-11 20:40:17 +0100 | <gentauro> | it's actually not trivial |
| 2025-11-11 20:40:11 +0100 | <gentauro> | EvanR: define "get time and date right" ;) |

| 2025-11-11 20:30:10 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | I don't think this is a particularly convincing exhibit to that end :p |

| 2025-11-11 20:28:55 +0100 | <monochrom> | We need to confuse future archaelogists by leaving around records that can be misinterpreted as evidence for we having figured out time travel! |
