Predictable bit streams that look random are useful for communications. Satellite navigation systems like GPS for instance use such streams where the whole idea is for a receiver to sync up on on the bitstream.
An example where no one even cares exactly what the bitsream is can be found on motherboards where a bitstream is used to jitter the system clock to spread out any radio interference caused by the motherboard.

- joe__f 5y agoThese are some interesting uses of psuedorandom bit streams, but I didn't understand why being able to reverse engineer the streams using ML in these instances would be useful
