minus-squaredrspod@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·18 days agoThey’ve pissed so many billions of dollars into quantum computing, at least they’re using it for something. Did anyone tell them that you can use the noise in a semiconductor junction to produce truly random numbers too? You can buy one for a few pennies.
minus-squarekameecoding@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-218 days agoIsn’t there a truly random generator based on Lava Lamps? Lol But I think the issue is the rate at which you can get random numbers
minus-squareeinkorn@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·18 days agoIIRC that’s Cloudflares random number generator.
minus-squarerottingleaf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·18 days agoIt’s probably not truly random, when two centuries from now people have descended a few more levels down. Just like their result
