Needs more sources I think in background section? Adding a little tag [[User:Likeanechointheforest|Likeanechointheforest]] ([[User talk:Likeanechointheforest|talk]]) 19:59, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 
== Link to Random123 is broken ==
 
The link is https://www.deshawresearch.com/resources_random123.html, but this now redirects to the general DE Shaw Research resources page https://www.deshawresearch.com/resources.html, which has no particular information on CBRNGs. (The issue is not unique to Wikipedia; the official Python documentation currently has the same broken link on this page: https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/random/bit_generators/index.html).
 
The old page is archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20111006042153/https://www.deshawresearch.com/resources_random123.html
 
The closest existing still-maintained page, still with a download link but with less information, seems to be: https://www.deshawresearch.com/downloads/download_random123.cgi/ [[Special:Contributions/100.2.228.140|100.2.228.140]] ([[User talk:100.2.228.140|talk]]) 03:55, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
