I don't know why this caught HN's attention today, but I first found out about the Halton sequence a number of years ago when I needed a random seeming, regularly distributed and stable set of 2D points to sample an image, and the Halton sequence fit the bill precisely. After implementing and benchmarking it I found my code was spending more time calculating the sample points than I'd like. When trying to speed that up I found this paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0898122193... Later when learning Rust I ported that faster approach to Rust: https://crates.io/crates/halton And when I wrote a Rust library to bind Rust to Ruby, I created a Rubygem of the same as a testbed: https://rubygems.org/gems/halton A few years ago I also put together a fun D&D game using the Halton sequence to place items/encounters on a map. |
