On: Randomness extractors: making fair coins out of biased coins

If you can predict precisely how often in an input stream randomness occurs, it's not randomness.

[remram → big-green-man]

Knowing the bias is not knowing exactly how often each results come out... it is still probabilistic...

[big-green-man → remram]

Yeah, that's why you can't predict how long you'll wait for a random bit in an entropy extractor.

[remram → big-green-man]

I give up. Thankfully somebody else in this thread gave an answer.
