Uiua

It's been a while since I posted one of these, but I thought this would be straightforward in Uiua. Turns out that bitwise operations are a bit (haha) of a pain, so the Rng operation is very slow at 4sec for live data.

I took this as an opportunity to play with the ⧈(stencil) operator which probably slowed things down too.
