[–] h2odragon 4y ago ↗ thats essentially why "cryptographic" psuedo random number generators are things, no? [–] aristus 4y ago ↗ Of course. This was a what-if. Can we do the same using mathematical constants that are proven to have random digits? [–] h2odragon 4y ago ↗ https://github.com/philipl/pifsThat is so cool.And I beg pardon if I sounded dismissive of the OP; it's a great explanation and interesting exploration, thanks.
