Re^3: how to get a 64bit random number with rand() ?

the distribution the number is drawn from is what counts. Uniform then unless the sphere is not honest.

It is obvious that Einstein thought God to be singular (as per LanX) for the simple reason that a multitude of Gods would probably combine their random numbers which would result in a Gaussian again...

Polytheism results in an extremely biased (and predictable) Universe.

Einstein stated that he believed in the pantheistic God of Baruch Spinoza. He did not believe in a personal God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings, a view which he described as naīve. –https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_and_philosophical_views_of_Albert_Einstein News to me but also fun (again, for me).

Polytheism decreases entropy. p.s. I am not sure these little, irrelevant, fun in my opinion, snippets are forbidden by the rules or frown upon my fellow Monks. If yes, please someone alert me. bliako	[reply]
