Comment on Anon thinks we're being bamboo-zled
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 week agoIf you mean the one saying it can’t be a simulation because the universe has true randomness, which can’t be created in software: we ourselves do in fact have true randomness in software, by capturing it from the environment via hardware sensors for fluctuations in temperature and such.

Do you have a source for this claim?

For what claim?

That having true randomness in machines means the study is debunked?

If we’re talking about the same thing, then afaik their whole claim is that we aren’t in a simulation, because we have true randomness which can’t be created in software. But it’s not necessary to create true randomness in software to have it in said software.
Although I haven’t read the full paper, and am going off what people wrote about it in comments.
