Comment Comment by wilbo I got lost when OP talked about using 10 integers to choose from 3 choices. I think I figured out what was missing in the explanation.random_u64() Mod 3 does indeed have a single bucket that is oversized. This overweights one option by about 5×10^-20.rand() Itself has only 32767 possible values, so it's also common for a bucket to be overweighted depending on the number of buckets. parent wilbo 25 days ago
