Computer scientists have borrowed from the world of geology and crystals to help machines better generate random numbers. Here's how their method works.

Anthropic's research focuses on distillation technology, a commonly used model training method that enhances model performance by having one model (the student model) imitate the outputs of another ...

The research focuses on distillationtechnology, a common model trainingmethod aimed at allowing one model (the student model) to learn from the outputs of another model (the teacher model).

Milikowski never studied 6-digit numbers, but at the end of our conversation, she hypothesizes that, deliberately or no, 2FA codes do include elements that improve their memorability.

In the meantime, if you’re tempted to look at the source code to the Drand too, it’s available to view here. You can also learn how to use the ultra-random numbers in your own applications here.

Random numbers are essential for secure cyber communications. But making truly random numbers is harder than it seems. Now scientists have devised a way to make the most random random numbers ever.

How to Assign Random Numbers to an Array in Java. Java has a "Random" class that lets you generate a random number you use to implement calculations in your Java source code.

Numbers that are truly random are hard to come by — even a roulette wheel's results can be predicted if you have the right information. But researchers have been able to find pure randomness ...
