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.
