Bravo!
Above is a fun pair of dice that are shaped like spheres, but work like ordinary cubical dice. Each of the six "faces" lands up with equal probability, and they never come to rest halfway between two numbers. The trick is that they are hollow, with an octahedron-shaped cavity that contains a ball bearing. This weight lands in one of the six corners of the cavity, each of which lies under one of the six "faces".

Hm, I'm not sure how this relates to Paul's comments, let alone to Dali/Little Ashes, but I have a pair of those dices! ;D

Digital Dali
Digital Dali rests on the edge of any horizontal surface.
The power cord can either run out of the back,
or from the bottom to be concealed by the tabletop.

S'pair a dice!
That's cool you have a pair. I've never seen them before, just found them googling "pair of dice." Do they work?
