Even if its high bits go 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 ... ?

  I would say that's a bug in the RNG, nothing to do with any determinism issue

    The point is that if you document your rng as deterministic, you can't fix any bugs.
    • _a_a_a_ 3y ago
      why do you believe that? Can you explain why not?
      • adgjlsfhk1 3y ago
        because those bugfixes will change the random numbers generated

          That's fine (if you document it). Repeatability may mean 'repeatability over the same program instance/minor version/major instance'. It's fine if you're clear. But ISWYM too.
