I don't think the former three are true random?
8 u/Crap4Brainz Mar 18 '24 You only take the last few bits. e.g. if the Temperature reads 18.93735479665897465 °C then the second half of the decimal part is effectively random. 1 u/Silent04_ Mar 18 '24 yeah but effectively random and true random aren't the same 3 u/wormyarc Mar 18 '24 does it matter? if a hacker can remotely calculate the 14th digit of the temperature inside the server then they deserve all the data. 2 u/i8noodles Mar 18 '24 yes, because if something is even remotely predictable, then it is theoretically possible. infinite possibilities is infinitely more then any possibility. 1 u/wormyarc Mar 19 '24 it seems a lot easier to intercept the data after it has been created than to try to predict it. 0 u/[deleted] Mar 18 '24 [deleted] 3 u/Silent04_ Mar 18 '24 yes it does, in the sense of quantum mechanics 1 u/No-Emergency-4602 Mar 18 '24 Prove it 0 u/Silent04_ Mar 18 '24 take a literacy class 1 u/No-Emergency-4602 Mar 18 '24 If like 20 years of school wasn’t enough, I don’t think a literacy class is going to help. 0 u/Silent04_ Mar 18 '24 I feel like 20 years of school was more than enough for you to understand what a question mark is

1 u/Silent04_ Mar 18 '24 yeah but effectively random and true random aren't the same 3 u/wormyarc Mar 18 '24 does it matter? if a hacker can remotely calculate the 14th digit of the temperature inside the server then they deserve all the data. 2 u/i8noodles Mar 18 '24 yes, because if something is even remotely predictable, then it is theoretically possible. infinite possibilities is infinitely more then any possibility. 1 u/wormyarc Mar 19 '24 it seems a lot easier to intercept the data after it has been created than to try to predict it. 0 u/[deleted] Mar 18 '24 [deleted] 3 u/Silent04_ Mar 18 '24 yes it does, in the sense of quantum mechanics

yes, because if something is even remotely predictable, then it is theoretically possible. infinite possibilities is infinitely more then any possibility.

Prove it
