Right, that's how randomness works...

Keaunu Reeves working hard to try to cover up his aging with that beard and long hair and playing tough guy.

The Matrix & John Wick are linked/interconnected --- in more ways --- than one !

Avatar of Elroch

Both fiction.

Keanu Reeves has a reputation of being an exceptionally decent person, generous to the badly off and lacking the egotism common in his field.

To explore the interconnected theories of "The Matrix" and "John Wick," consider these points:

  1. Shared Universe Concept: Both films exist in a reality where perception and reality are manipulated, suggesting a deeper connection.
  2. Themes of Control: Each narrative explores themes of control versus freedom, with characters fighting against oppressive systems.
  3. The Role of Technology: Advanced technology plays a crucial role in both universes, influencing characters' abilities and choices.
  4. Existential Questions: Both films pose existential questions about identity, purpose, and the nature of reality.
  5. Stylized Action: The choreographed action sequences in both films reflect a philosophical underpinning, blending art with combat.
  6. Character Archetypes: Protagonists in both stories are skilled fighters who navigate complex moral landscapes, often facing personal loss.

& Laurence Fishburne is also in both franchises/movies as a mentor etc. !

My Own Private Idaho(1991) with River Phoenix who died 2 years later - that movie stirred up some controversy for those young actors !

You can use the Random function in Excel and sort the column.

Every time you sort, it generates new random numbers.

You can use this method for Fischer Random Chess, or anything else.

Nice spreadsheet there.
Lots of tricks to basic spreadsheets. Tab button.
Consolas and Courier are fixed width fonts. Monospace.
Point - producing paper documents with columns that line up and that read across with correct correspondence. Or .txts.
Was reading just now that python is pretty good at that - powershell 7 not as good - but cmd - too painful.

cant you just recreate the the stern gerlach experiment to get a random binary number

isnt that dangerous ?

Stern-Gerlach which was over a hundred years ago wasn't done for random generation.
The new thing with Qbits supposedly generates 'truly random' numbers?
Maybe it depends on how truly random is defined.

Stern Gerlach may not have been done for random generation, but it is a source of true randomness. Nothing else gives "truer" randomness,

Apparently the new Qbit generators derive from Stern Gerlach ... but are more advanced.
I don't claim to know though.
They are so powerful that supposedly they can even 'prove themselves random' ...
 A lot of conversation could 'derive' from this.

That's getting a bit philosophical! To be pedantic, nothing in the physical world can "prove" anything. Especially in this case, such a proof is probabilistic in nature, rather than deductive.

'numbers' are in the physical world?
