How many bytes is the Library of Babel?
Petabytes? Exabytes? Zettabytes?
I’d guess its infinite.
The specifications described in Borges’ original short story implies there are 25^1312000 books, which is unfathomably large but technically still finite.
If it’s stored on a server somewhere, it can’t be infinite.
Its generated dynamically based on a seed string.
Huh, if it’s dynamically generated, would the storage required to host website grow as visitors search for more strings?
It doesn’t generate and save it, it generates it again at the same position.
In that case, wouldn’t the “address” for the position of the string in the library be as long as the string itself?
Yes, it’s a fancy way to turn a link containing encoded text into that text.
Address is the seed. It’s not stored. Try visiting it to see how it works.
