Re:Generating Cryptographically Secure Random Numbers with C... by john_alan on Tuesday December 22, 2020 @03:25AM (#25504182)
I’m not saying short runs of 1 or 0 is not suitable for cryptographic use. I’m saying we always strive to remove any non-uniformity. Ie. Output of good CSPRNG will not have runs of one or the other.

True hardware random generators regularly have runs or non-uniformity. That’s why we use them to seed a CSPRNG not use the output directly.
