22:46:52blackwolfanyone have a suggestion or recommendation for filling a large array of '(unsigned-byte 8) with random bytes?
22:48:10blackwolfwant something more efficient than calling (random 256) severral million times.
22:49:35Bicyclidineyou'd rather call (random 65536) and shift a few million times?
22:52:37Bicyclidinei think sbcl gets 32-bit words from mersenne, so you could get those and shift them in
22:58:01blackwolfwas thinking something along the lines of that, e.g. (random (expt 2 64)) ... would prefer something like memcpy rather than shift, maybe a solution involving ldb. that would require getting access to an integer as a block of bytes. perhaps cffi.
23:00:40shrdlu68blackwolf: Why not read /dev/urandom?
9:48:36beacholeo: It is usually a bad idea to ask a question like that. Even if someone does, they might not want to let you know until they know why you asked that question.
9:49:11beacholeo: I don't personally use it, but why do you want to know?
9:50:32shkaoleo: it seems that it is all about mezzano this days
9:55:04Posterdatiplease, how can I convert a foreign pointer to an uint64??
9:58:48oleoshka: well i tried to use it, i got it from 2 different github sources and i can create images with both, when i try to use the images only one works tho....and it seems somehow crippled anyway......with the other i get an error with grub telling me the image is too big for the bios to handle it....
9:59:31shkawell, i never tried to run those physical machine
