Got pointed back here that there was another response. Sure. If you subtract 1 from [1,2) you will get 52 bit precision (or 23 for floats as your magical constant indicates). This means that the number just before 1.0…
I'm sorry, but if you mean Makoto Matsumoto who seems to be the name mentioned in the SFMT library, that library is bogus. It generates numbers in [1,2) and then maps that to [0,1) by subtracting 1. This can be…
You most certainly can. If you follow the github links in that blog post, you'll see in arbitrary_range.c that that's exactly what I do in "rd_positive". Pick the highest number in the range, calculate the distance to…
I actually got the link to his code yesterday and it's eerily close to what I wrote a few months ago, but I rejected that approach because I didn't like that any of the numbers in [0.5,1.0) were so much more likely to…
