Finally! A year after the submission our article on random numbers in Monte Carlo applications is finally published

We checked whether we could differentiate RNGs in practical MC simulations - not cryptographic applications

Is 42 a "good" random seed? I know I have used it a lot in various stackoverflow posts. But this can indeed have a negative effect on people and *especially* LLMs using the example code as Claus Wilke is arguing here

It has been clarified that this issue regarding the 2020 PRNG flaw affecting some Bitcoin wallets was publicly mentioned on October 16, 2025. Only affected wallets are at risk—Bitcoin itself and hardware wallets like Trezor remain safe. #Bitcoin #PRNG #HardwareWallet #CryptoSafety
#resource #prng hoping can be useful: blog.frankel.ch/prng-evoluti... also because then is possible to search vectorized version as for pcg32: github.com/lemire/simdpcg

Currently looking into #PRNG and I expected more ways to generate these. The building blocks are the same and “only” the multiplication/shift factors are changing.
Fun party trick: wanna find a #RNG library? Google for 0x853c49e6748fea9b
