Comment on A Brief History of Random Numbersparent

Comments

The RAND corporation published a book filled with just random digits.

Hilariously, there’s an Errata available.

I revisited this in 2020 and found some additional things, separate from that errata. All my code is available here: https://github.com/RANDCorporation/milliondigits

And there's a news article about it here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/rand-million-random-digits-numb...

Guess it’s only fitting.
