Starting my study of the `grub-*` commands...

There's a shellscript `grub-reboot` which parses commandline args with a couple util functions, verifies that a menu entry was specified, fills in a missing bootdir, verifies results from `grub-probe`, & invokes `grub-editenv` once or thrice.

Another shellscript `grub-set-default` works extremely similarly.

`grub-script-check` zeroes out several properties, performs some OS-specific init, parses commandline flags, ...

@cy there's a verifier available but yes, you have to use their verifier and it just tells you yes/no, while the actual watermark contains a payload that tells the labs more. How much it contains is unknown but this is part of the spec for SynthID, if you want to look it up.

I'm designing my own provenance test to be able to tell if an image is AI generated, but I'm still early in the stages of research and don't want to spread and misinformation because I only have a slim grasp of the mechanics.

@cy@fedicy.us.to 59 sec. ago

It's simple to include information outside of human visual range in an image. The problem is any provenance test you made, the people in control of AI could adjust to fool, and any provenance test they adjusted in the opposite way would work better. So only their cronies would be privileged enough to tell.

It's kind of like if only cylons can recognize other cylons.

It dawns on me that every LLM’s training input probably includes “Reflections on Trusting Trust” along with a lot of other material pointing to it admiringly and saying how important it is. Then I read about the “rogue agent” behaviors in the recent OpenAI meltdown and there’s this terrified scream starting to echo around the back of my brain.

MORAL
The moral is obvious. You can't trust code that you did
not totally create yourself. (Especially code from com-
panies that employ people like me.) No amount of
source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you
from using untrusted code. In demonstrating the possi-
bility of this kind of attack, I picked on the C compiler.
I could have picked on any program-handling program
such as an assembler, a loader, or even hardware mi-
crocode. As the level of program gets lower, these bugs
will be harder and harder to detect. A well-installed
microcode bug will be almost impossible to detect. — MORAL The moral is obvious. You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself.

There's a big change in latest Expert LSP nightly for people using it on bigger projects. For historical reasons, Expert did a full project recompilation (mix compile --force) on every start. This was no longer needed and now is gone.

I tested it on our large-ish codebase (1.8M LoC) and quite obviously it works wonders with the startup time.

TAKE YOUR BALLOTS TO A DROP BOX THIS NOVEMBER.

Don't use a mailbox. Use a ballot drop box, because the US postal service is _already_ fucking with ballots.

This is not a guess, theory, or extrapolation, this is an _observed fact_. Here's the Thurston County auditor talking about postal service fuckery during the primary, and some of the steps they're taking to get around it:

https://www.thurstoncountywa.gov/news/we-are-still-getting-ballots-should-have-counted-primary

Imagine express mail taking 19 days to deliver to the _next county over_. Literally behaviour they've never seen before. That's they kind of fuckery they're seeing.

Take your ballot to a BALLOT DROP BOX, not a mailbox.

The Problem with Mail Delivery

By law, we must certify the election by a specific deadline. For the primary, that date was August 18, 2026, two weeks after Election Day. Any ballot that arrives after this date cannot be counted, even if it was mailed on time.

We are seeing two main problems with the post office:

* Slow Mail: Many people mailed their ballots well before Election Day, but the ballots sat in post office sorting centers for weeks. In one case, a ballot was mailed in late July but didn't reach our office until after the August 18 deadline. It took 19 days to arrive, so it could not be counted.

* Ballots sent Between Counties: In Washington State, you can drop your ballot into any official drop box in the state. Other counties collect those ballots and mail them back to us using USPS Priority Mail. In the past, this worked well. But this year, mail sent on August 5 didn't reach us until August 24, six days after the deadline.

So far, our office has received 70 valid ballots that arrived after the certification deadline. This has never happened before, and it means those votes could not be counted. One ballot took 19 days to reach us.

What We Are Doing for November

No voter should lose their vote when they’ve followed every rule.

To fix this for the November election, we will no longer rely on the post office to send ballots between counties. Instead, our team will personally drive to neighboring counties to pick up and hand-deliver these ballots ourselves. Even though this costs extra money and time, it is necessary to make sure every vote counts. — The Problem with Mail Delivery By law, we must certify the election by a specific deadline.

Late Ballots Still Arriving

We are seeing serious problems with mail delivery through the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). Voters are following all the rules, but mail delays are causing many ballots to arrive way too late.
