| Oct 20, 2022 at 8:12 | comment | added | GiorgioP-DoomsdayClockIsAt-90 | @rob It is not a duplicate. Notwithstanding the claim in many answers and comments, random number generators should be described by Kolmogoroff's entropy more than Shannon's (information) entropy. | |

Explained why not duplicate and made question more focused

(Which Intel says uses the physical randomness of thermal noise to produce a stream of bits with entropy in the information sense.) | |

| Oct 18, 2022 at 15:53 | comment | added | Galen | You are likely seeing the word "entropy" in the context of information theory. Shannon entropy is a generalization of Gibbs entropy to the context of any discrete random variable. It is a quantity that informs us about the uniformity of probability measure. | |

| Oct 18, 2022 at 7:49 | comment | added | John Rennie | The entropy you are referring to is Shannon entropy and this is related to but different from thermodynamic entropy. You would probably get more answers on the Computer Science Stack Exchange since this isn't really about physics. | |
