Shopuld we replace with the new recommended method for RNG to teach the most up to date best practices?

Also it's a bit unclear what we are doing in this one line - we are generating a number of normally distributed random values, where the number of values is the same as the length of g and the mean is the value of that index of g? Might me best to generate the random numbers separately with mean zero, and then add them to g to make this clearer.
