Why are RNGs important? What is the generator concept? How do PyTorch's CPU and CUDA RNGs differ? What are some of the reasons why Philox is a good RNG for CUDA? Why doesn't the generator class have virtual methods for getting random numbers? What's with the next normal double and what does it have to do with Box Muller transform? What's up with csprng?
