assuming you have a ByteArray class that we can get a memoryview from

ba = ByteArray.new(8)

mv_at_4 = Fiddle::MemoryView.new(ba)[4..-1]

f = File.open('/dev/urandom', 'rb'){|s| s.readinto(mv_at_4) # write the content of /dev/urandom from offset 4 to the end of the bytearray, effectively reading only 4 bytes
