Selecting a random sample from a set is simple. But what about selecting a fair random sample from a set of unknown or indeterminate size? That’s where reservoir sampling comes in, and [Sam ...

Understanding randomness is crucial in many fields. From computer science and engineering to cryptography and weather ...

While randomising a deck of cards gets more difficult as you add more cards, it turns out that the same isn't true for the ...

In this challenge, everything I craft gives me a random item... and it gets WILD. 😵‍💫 Craft a stick? Get diamonds. Make a furnace? Summon a creeper?! Every recipe is broken, and every item is a ...

“I do think the game is maybe slightly easier than I wanted it to be in the end,” Lost in Random: The Eternal Die director ...

We present a true random number generator (TRNG) using dark noise of a CMOS image sensor. Because the proposed TRNG is based on the dark characteristics of the CMOS image sensor, it does not require ...

A True Random Number Generator based on a differential ring oscillator with two different signal paths, that uses two different entropy sources, i.e., metastability and chaos, is presented. The ring ...
