LLL lattice reduction is the same algorithm that can be used for cracking PuTTY keys from biased nonces from the CVE a few days ago. 'tptacek explained a bit about the attack (and links to a cryptopals problem for it, which I can almost pretend to understand if I squint) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40045377

In a similar vein, the SciCraft minecraft server had a creeper farm which used some sort of black magic setup in order to deterministically manipulate an RNG state to trigger a "random" lightning strike at a specific block every frame in order to get better creeper drops. https://youtu.be/TM7SutJyDCk
