lets get some oc
But you can be sure about random... The author even said he got mail about that. If you perform a frequency analysis and there's bumps or irregularities, it's not random

If it repeated then it wouldn't be random.

If the pattern repeats enough (or is even repetitive) it'll be obvious through some form of frequency analysis, you could even get the spectrum and analyse that.
>>54044594
Perfect white noise has a perfectly flat frequency spectrum (meaning its resistant to frequency analysis) and each new piece of data from white noise is random between a spectrum against the last piece.
There is true, proven random, you just don't have the mathematical wizardry to understand how that could be true.
/g/ are the NEETs with degrees.

That's assuming that the timeframe for this RNG is over the course of a time period that humans can understand.
>>54044796
Just because it's uniform doesn't make it random.
>>54044800
man and I read that twice what the fuck
>>54044827
When it's unpredictable it's random, and if you can analyse it then it's predictable and therefore it's not random.

You can only measure the likelihood that a sequence is random, but as long as it is a finite sequence there is always a degree of uncertainty around the distribution function. What you're referring to is generating a sequence that is random for practical purposes. Otherwise, we can only infer what the underlying generating function is.
>>54044716
a fucking golf meme?
>>54045084
Yes, if it's a finite sequence it can't be perfectly random. This is why things other than background radiation are generally all that random.
Still you can test randomness, put a value on it and then be that much sure it's random.

No you can't.
A generating function that spits out 5's forever must be a possible sequence for a truly random process.
>>54045420
No, it's not, because then you'd absolutely know 5 is either extremely likely or after that point extremely unlikely. Ultimately everything boils down to some algorithm and that's what we're judging, if its spitting out all those fives we have a bad random.

Nope. The point of a truly random process is that you couldn't ever be sure -even if you've seen a billion fives in a row.

>A generating function that spits out 5's forever must be a possible sequence for a truly random process.
If it spits out 5s forever then it will never spit out another number and thus can't be random.
If you just took a sample of the output from a random number generator and all the numbers in the sample were the same then you would just take more samples to see if it is continuing to repeat.
It is possible for a random number generator to spit out the same number consecutively, because it has an equal chance of spitting out that number as any other number, but the chance of it spitting out the same number 10 times, multiple times, should be extremely low.

Same chance as spitting out any other particular finite sequence.

The sequence of digits in PI are random. In fact, it was proved that every possible sequence of digits exist in PI. Therefore, there is a sequence of trillion 5s in PI. There is also a chance of picking out that sequence out of PI randonmly. Therefore a sequence of a trillion 5s are random.
Technically every single book and movie exists in PI somewhere and could be shared by giving out the position of the sequence. But the index is so huge that it would be easier to just share gigs of data instead. But everyone on /g/ should know that already

Learn the difference between random and chaotic.
>>54045628
You're correct.
If you specify a set of numbers you expect in a set then that set of numbers has equal chance of appearing as any other specified set of numbers.
But you're far more likely to get ANYTHING other than the set you specify.

I'd say so. The writing is surprisingly good, but it's not for anyone. The one about the gay biker train is my favorite because of the stupidity of the scene. A fucking train riding a harley davidson while being gay.
There's no actual humor from what I remember though, except in "Final Days of Pounding Ass"
