Re: Pi: Less Random Than We Thought
http://cypherpunks.venona.com/date/1993/05/msg00213.html Back in the old days, Tim May would occasionally talk about the Kolmogorov-Chaitin theories about randomness - Kolmogorov complexity gives you a lot of deep explanations about this sort of problem. Alas, I never actually *read* those papers, but there's been a lot of mathematical thought about what randomness means.

I don't have Knuth's book handy to look at, but it's not really correct to speak of a particular sequence or subsequence of digits as being random or non-random. For example, is this sequence of bits random: 01100100010? How about this one: 00? From a true random number generator, both are completely possible and equally valid.

One can only do statistical analyses of sequences of digits to determine whether they *appear* to have a uniform distribution of individual digits and subsequences. Of course the result of such a test (positive *or* negative) doesn't positively confirm whether a given digit source is truly random.

Re: Pi: Less Random Than We Thought
Cypherpunk: While I respect your forthrightness you are unfortunately wrong. Read the chapters on Randon Mumber generation from Numerical Recipes in C and you get just a small glimpse of how sticky the issue is, particularly when it comes to computers (which are innately non-random, by the way). As a very simple example, imagine that after 10 billion digits we found that the average value was actually 5.1. This would make it, in your book, not random at all, but I suspect that for almost many uses it would be random enough. And then, imagine that the cumulative average of the digits of pi oscillated around 5 (to one part in a zillion) with a period of 100 Billion...is this random enough for you? Let us remember, of course, that the digits of pi are not random whatsoever: they are the digits of pi! Random is in the eye of the beholder.

The Worlds Best Vibrator - Amazing Multiple Orgasms With Features Unlike Any Other pi
rxqnhiysytfurphnrriwjubfurbrguhikj The Amazing Jack Rabbit Vibrator - The Best Orgasms Ever Find out why Charlotte of Sex and the City became obsessed and find out why it's the world's most famous, unique, and amazing sex toy. The shaft and head of the jackrabbit is made of a bright pink, pliant jelly that is inserted into the vagina. The tip is realistically sculpted to mimic the head of the male penis. The shaft and head rotate either to the right or left. The distinguishing feature of the jackrabbit is the rotating chamber of beads, or pearls, in the base of the shaft. These beads rotate and tumble against each other, creating extra movement and wonderful pleasurable sensations at the sensitive base of the vagina. In addition to the rotating shaft and the tumbling beads, a vibrating rabbit attached to the shaft simultaneously stimulates the clitoris causing intense, multiple orgasms. All of these elements have separate controls and varying speeds so that you can customize your experience every time and experience the most amazing orgasms (and we mean more than one) ever!

I tried to something like this in the late '80s to allow efficient loss-less compression using conditioned PRNs which could generate suitable auto correlated streams. Unfortunately, I did not discover a similar method of locating the desired sequences. The search during the compression phase was to computationally difficult and I abandoned the effort. steve

If you sum the following series for k=0 to k=infinity, its limit is Pi. 1/16^k[4/(8k+1) - 2/(8k+4) - 1/(8k+5) - 1/(8k+6)] (Exercise: Prove this series sums to Pi) Since this is an expression for Pi in inverse powers of 16, it is easy to multiply this series by 16^d and take the fractional part, evaluating terms where dk by modular exponentiation, and evaluating a couple of terms where dk to get a digit's worth of precision, yielding the (d+1)th hexadecimal digit of Pi. Presumedly, if one could express PI as a series in inverse powers of 10, one could do the same trick to get decimal digits. Such a series has so far eluded researchers. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:. Mathematical Munitions Division Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law

Are the digits of Pi random? A Berkley lab researcher may hold the key

Re: Napster PI helpful

And on a different tack, I expect/predict that Napster will reinvent itself as a distributor of material with the permission of the record companies and will then aggressively go after Gnutella, Freenet, and Mojo types of sites.

Perhaps someone else has put some thought into this and has some ideas. The CNET coverage of the Napster debacle includes links to an article covering a survey which indicates that at least 60% of the Napster users would continue trading files regardless of what the courts have to say. On a similiar note, I have been using OpenNAP servers since I started using napster. They presently don't have the same density of users, but I imagine that will change quickly enough. They are located in several different countries, tho I am not sure what he chances of legal action being brought against them in their home realms are. -- Craig Brozefsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lisp Web Dev List http://www.red-bean.com/lispweb --- The only good lisper is a coding lisper. ---
