This is cool I never really contemplated how frequently there are strikes across the globe.
Is there / Could there be a random number generator based on lighting strikes?
- ianpenney 2y agoPseudorandom but you’d have an issue with the fact that certain tall objects get struck all the time and there are better radio noise sources that are probably better at generating entropy. Maybe the timing rather than the locality might be a better input.
- jurakovic 2y agoIn fact RANDOM.ORG uses "atmospheric noise, originating from lightning strikes in the planet's atmosphere" as (one of?) seed for generating data Source: https://api.random.org/features https://api.random.org/features
