Maybe they mean that computers can't replicate the imperfections/shortcomings that might define human/hand shuffling? That's kind of how I took it.

- evrydayhustling 1y agoThose human imperfections likely decrease randomness - for example leaving cards that started adjacent more likely to remain adjacent han by strict chance.
- harrall 1y agoThey most definitely decrease randomness. But I guess the article’s point is that human imperfections offset that with lower correlated failure modes.
- dwattttt 1y agoGiven > an algorithm would randomly select an arrangement from the 52! possible decks. But no computer has enough memory to evaluate all of these possibilities It sounds more like they don't understand how a computer can shuffle something.
