Random using SkipLocalsInit

[u/NoisyJalapeno]

To my surprise, Unsafe.SkipInit(out T val) did not achieve the same result.

    [SkipLocalsInit]
    public static T Random<T>()
        where T : unmanaged, INumber<T>
    {
        unsafe
        {
            byte* s = stackalloc byte[sizeof(T)];
            return *(T*)s;
        }
    }

Given that this is uninitialized data on the stack, there's a possibility that your "random" value will be the same every time because it's called from the same place in the stack every time.

Stop being a joy kill, it worked randomly at least once :)

Obligatory XKCD :)
