| Guest56 | hi | 14:45 | |
| I want to know if the pseudo-random number can be predicted? | 14:46 | ||
| japhb | Guest56: Raku uses a relatively modern PRNG (a variant of Mersenne Twister, if I recall correctly). The pattern is statistically strong, but I don't think it is *cryptographically* strong. | 15:51 | |
| In other words, you are unlikely to see biases or obvious human-intuitable patterns in the random number generation, but if you need crypto RNG to get a source of "entropy" data, use /dev/urandom, not the builtin PRNG. | 15:52 | ||
| (MUGS does not provide its own special PRNG, but I have considered allowing the creation of multiple *independent* PRNGs, so that users could seed them individually for repeatability where that is valuable. That hasn't exactly reached the top of the todo list. :-) ) | 15:55 | ||
