11:41:49 <sech1> And also these random operations must not go into an infinite loop and/or crash in any way
14:21:19 <m-relay> <n​eromonero1024:monero.social> the only concept here I'm having difficulty understanding is the preservation of entropy on the hash state
14:21:20 <m-relay> <n​eromonero1024:monero.social> would you please explain it in simplified manner? all the search results are about cryptography and full of complex mathematics
14:27:05 <sech1> RandomX avoids operations that reduce entropy (total amount of information in the scratchpad). For example, logical AND will have a result data with more and more zeroes in it, which will reduce entropy
14:46:10 <m-relay> <n​eromonero1024:monero.social> ah... understood
