> a random stream of bits should have almost as many ones as zeros
almost??
almost??
But for the first few bits maybe "almost".
My mental model is that an unbiased random stream of 1's and 0's should converge on 50% 1's and 50% 0's over time, not 49% 1's and 51% 0's.
Looks like it's a language ambiguity thing I'm not quite getting.
So if ypu ever see a random pick equate to 50/50, the end of the universe is upon us.
