[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36363] Matlab uses a constant seed for its rand functions. Octave generates new seed on startup

[Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #36363 (project octave):

I don't think there's a point to this, and it's been discussed before. See
this and associated replies.

We don't know what's the precise algorithm and seed that Matlab is using. This
is hidden and undocumented. So we can't generate the same numbers that Matlab
generates.
