It suggests that it understand what pseudorandomness looks like. A hash function output usually looks pseudorandom.
It's almost like it can look at a picture from an old television, and separate the random static from the "signal" part of the picture. It can carry out de-noising because it knows what noise looks like. It can never remember exactly what the noise looked like, because like for us, it doesn't matter.
- michaf 4y agoIf you restart the session and enter > echo test1 | md5 it will output another random 'hash' each time. But within one session it knows that md5 should produce the same output. Running > echo test1 | md5 multiple times, or even > VAR1="test1"; echo $VAR1 | md5 produces the same output for me within the same session, while > echo test2 | md5 results in a different, but also session-consistent hash.
- ogogmad 4y agoIt understands the "pseudo" in pseudorandom. (That is, the determinism). Pseudo + "random". [edit] The application is it might be able to denoise text files full of "noise".
