Good... because the way we did it in the old days was hard.
Will it help us here to be IBTZ faster?

I’ve been interested in random number generation since I did my first Monte Carlo computer simulation more than half a century ago. I became aware that the problem is that computers flawlessly do the same things over and over again. The random number generators available then did NOT generate random numbers, they generated a random number sequence over and over again. It was possible to increase the length of the sequence, but it was not possible to prevent its repetition. This becomes a problem in such things as encryption, passwords, and also Monte Carlo simulations. It’s great to see new solutions for this.
And the purpose for all this?
