Comment on Ask HN: Why don't all computers use atmospheric noise for random numbers?parentComments−SamReidHughes7ySure. I think Intel's RDRAND, using thermal noise (or whatever) makes more sense, because you don't have to hook up some antenna -- I'm no physicist but my guess is it gets substantively affected by atmospheric noise.
