Hi, is there a way to make vector longer than the maximum capacity of an Int? I.e. I have to store roughly 2^280 integers, in a way that I can access every single one of them. Is it doable? Or perhaps is there any other way to store such a big number of... numbers?
For comparison, just to give an order of magnitude : assuming that your storage device is the whole observable universe and that each atom can store one integer, you will need more than 10000 universes to store your vector, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observa...
Since 2^280 is roughly 2 * 10^84, how long would it take just to store and read all these integers?
