Trump wants to ban Norwegians from the U.S., all because he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize.

RNG is pseudorandom. Every computer program is deterministic in some sense, even if the seed is obfuscated or dependent on ephermal environment variables. Being able to predict the output is very different from determinism.

I think one generally has to assume that state actors are targeting open source projects for supply chain attacks.
