Anyone with me?

Intro: https://sfmatheson.blogspot.com/2023/04/reviewing-from-extraterrestrials-to.html
Chapter 1 (part I): https://sfmatheson.blogspot.com/2023/04/superheroes-and-nonexistent-myth-of-no.html

srand(rand());
This was in commercial products.
Not only does this show a significant misunderstanding of how these work, but even more importantly it clearly showed that the developers hadn't bothered to test their code. #cpp #randomness #sourcecode

That's interesting. Every time I ask Google's #bard for random whole numbers, it gives me sawtooth-like ramping patterns. This is a great example for a stochastic simulation/numerical methods course -- uniformity, but not independence (i.e., bad random number generator).

Is it all pure coincidence or predictable? How do you create real randomness? : https://www.vnzn.de/en/2020/02/08/dev_random/

"Kolmogorov complexity is the length of the ultimately compressed version of a file (i.e., anything which can be put in a computer). Formally, it is the length of a shortest program from which the file can be reconstructed."
