[erlang-questions] more random uniform

[Bengt Kleberg]

My computer is not available right now, but my understanding is that using now() will make it really hard to reproduce that sequence again.

1>  [erlang:spawn( fun() -> random:seed(X,Y,0), io:fwrite("~p ", [random:uniform(3)]) end ) || X<-lists:seq(1,10), Y<-lists:seq(1,10)].
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

BUT (now() instead of X, y, 0)

1 3 3 2 3 1 2 1 2 3 1 3 1 2 1 3 3 1 1 3 2 1 2 1 3 1 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 1 2 3 2 3 1 2 3 2 1 3 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 1 2 3 1 3 2 1 2 3 2 1 3 1 2 1 3 3 2 2 1 3 3 1 2 1 2 2 2 1 1 2 3 2 3 1 2 3 1 3 1 2 3 2 3 2

Greetings,

When doing random:uniform/1 for small values, ie 3, the result is 1 the first time. Changing the seed does not help.
What am I missing?
