Would be interesting to see this run through some statistical batteries. DieHarder and TestU01 still seem to be the gold standards.
XOR it with /dev/urandom, the result will be as strong as the best source of entropy.

Your dollars already do get more valuable over time wrt consumer electronics and cars, yet people still purchase them en masse. Many still spend in a deflationary environment, they just do so with far more care about…
No one measures the marketcap of gold or soybeans. When was the last time someone mentioned the marketcap of the USD? It's an absurd metric made worse by the fact that more coins are issued every 5 mins. If price…
I pay 29c/kwh in a country with abundant solar, wind, coal and uranium. Perhaps there is something more at play here? Public education about grid engineering and its challenges would be a good thing.
Apart from the asteroids packed with precious metals or water/zero-g vacuum manufacturing /virtually limitless solar energy and near earth rendezvous from interstellar objects?

Fair enough though I'd contend such articles are the motivation for the bubble commentary.
What's the difference between that and the same company buying a pennystock? This is how markets work.

The most funniest part of this oft-repeated argument is that currently bitcoin blocks are full, the mempool of pending transactions is at record highs and people are happily outbidding each other in fees. Though…
Solar and even moreso batteries are advancing so quickly that waiting for further price deflation seems a logical choice for many. It's the energy equivalent of holding out for next gen cpu's.
Rolling their own crypto should be a huge red flag by itself. Watching others defend that decision screams vested interest to me.
So if China were to split into 10 different countries it would somehow become an acceptable level? Per capita is the only equitable measure of pollution. I certainly agree overpopulation of the earth is a tragedy likely…
Yeah fair call, just don't like the blame game that seems to escalate in cases like this. Police should certainly worry about general opinion. They are public servants.
Seen people demanding the names of jurors on various forums. This is the antithesis of modern justice. Despite my personal feelings about their decision, jurors should never have to fear public opinion.
If i gave you a search algorithm with a big db then asked if it could done quicker would you prefer to spin up more cpu's or try to improve the algorithm?

I can write anything i want into the bitcoin chain for $1 and all the computing power in the world wouldnt be able to undo it after a few days. Even quantum computing can't touch it (though can trivially work out my…
People don't realise how natural a reaction this is also, if your pants are coming off it's muscle memory to grab them.
This article seems more higher education or tax policy discussion rather than about AI/ML. Still intrigued though, is "world rankings" possible to determine or even valid in a multinational corp world? What was the last…
You watched the entire video? It's 5 minutes of conflicting instructions and repeated death threats by a man heavily covered in tattoos carrying an assualt rifle with the words "you're f*ed" engraved on it. How were the…
