You could even make this an installation-time option. If you want to enable the switch afterwards, you have to do a factory reset. Then, the attackers convincing the victims would get nothing.

This. I am reading old vital records in my family genealogy quest, and as those are sometimes really difficult to read, I turned to LLMs, hearing they are great in OCR. It’s been… terrible. The LLM will transcribe the record without problems, the output seems completely correct, a typical text of a vital record. Just… the transcribed text has nothing to do with my specific record. On the other hand, transkribus.eu has been fairly usable for old vital record transcription – even though the transcribed text is far from perfect, many letters and words are recognized incorrectly, it helps me a lot with the more difficult records.

I agree that Locale.ROOT is the canonical choice. But in this case, Locale.US also makes sense: it isn't some abstract "US is some kind of the global default", it is saying "we know are upcasing an English word".

While this is an upper bound for a "board position", it should be noted that it is not an upper bound for a "game state". That includes the (unbounded) whole board position history because of the threefold repetition rule. If you ignore that (and the fifty-move rule which can alternatively be kept using a six-bit counter), you also need the castling state and the en passant state. Plus one bit of the player on move, obviously :-)

When this topic came up the last time, I plotted the probability distribution. It was far from 50x, the range was several orders of magnitude, which seems to be the correct behavior. See https://gist.github.com/mormegil-cz/84d0cc34eb5f1234be8966f7...
