UUID v4がたった1万件ちょっとで衝突 CSPRNGの原理とハードウェアの制約に詳しくない人が理論値だけを信じて気軽に手を出すと火傷するんよ…

バベルの図書館というのがあってな。 1冊410ページ、1ページに40行、1行に80文字。このフォーマットで、アルファベットと記号をあわせた25種類のあらゆる順列組み合わせが印字された、無数の本が収蔵された図書館。 つまり25^1312000冊ぐらい収蔵数があるんじゃが、ここで奇妙なことが起きる。

7,000 false positives per square millimeter. The culprit was the lab gloves. University of Michigan researchers just upended a core assumption in microplastics science. Latex and nitrile gloves, worn by the scientists doing the measuring, shed stearate particles that look chemically identical to polyethylene. Standard infrared and Raman instruments can't tell them apart. The gloves were counting as plastic. Seven glove types tested. All contaminated. The cheapest fix: switch to cleanroom gloves, which dropped false positives to around 100 per mm² vs. 7,000. The "credit card per week" headline (5 grams, WWF/Newcastle 2019) has separate problems. A 2022 re-analysis found severe methodological errors in the original estimate. Actual measured intake is likely 100x lower. None of this means microplastics are harmless. Last month's data on brain accumulation still stands. But the numbers driving the panic may have been measuring the scientists, not the environment. Science catching its own errors is exactly how it's supposed to work.

UUID v4 collisions are less rare than you think 💣
