What do you mean exactly?

> For some people a dashboard is a static page that gets refreshed periodically. I.E. "Lets show the current line speed in big bold 48pt font size and auto-refresh the webpage every 15 seconds."

What do most people use for this kind of use case, assuming changing of the values needs to be scriptable?

Nice, thinking out of the "meta-box" here?

Sure, there are ways to "break" it. The point here is to demonstrate that if you try to intuitively go for manual "non-randomness", you won't be as random as you think, sometimes surprisingly off from ~50%.

Actually the quickest way I found to "break" it and hover at ~50% is to simply aim for the dead space between the "F" and "D" keys. If it was using non-adjacent keys like "F" and "J" instead it would be better for its purpose. "Q" and "P" might work even better since it would mostly force you to use 2 hands, making it much harder to score close to 50%.

They really have physical memories. They really are guided in everything they do, without exception, by algorithms.

Humans, on the other hand, do not – never did, never will."

In addition to neuroscience, going deeper to the atomic level and beyond, humans really do operate on symbolic representations of the world: representations that are stored as states of physical elements. And the algorithm that guides everything we do, would be the laws of physics.

Not necessarily established, but you'll find some hypotheses here:
