A live stream of the wall of lava lamps “provides a source of true entropy”.
The principle of generating small amounts of finite improbability by simply hooking the logic circuits of a Bambleweeny 57 Sub-Meson Brain to an atomic vector plotter suspended in a strong Brownian Motion producer (say a nice hot cup of tea).
Or a few dozen lava lamps...
Saw this last night on Tom Scot YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cUUfMeOijg
Quite impressive how it is used.
If you want random splatter for number generation, then just look in my toilet bowl after a curry.
Man that's some good entropy.
Fortunately I finished eating my bowl of oxtail soup seconds before reading this.Quote:

Nah... they will leave them there, but force them to program in a back door.Quote:
