I couldn't pay for groceries with Revolut in a store. Staff asked if I was using Revolut, but luckily adding a card from a different bank to Apple Pay was quick and painless (I had neither my wallet nor cash with me).

Another reminder that we need redundancy for all essential services that we rely on.

> It added that systems should be strengthened to make it harder for such AI agents to spread.

We'll likely need a new name for them if such viral agents become a reality.

It's interesting (but not surprising) that so much traffic comes from the Netherlands and Singapore despite their sizes compared to the countries at the top of this list.

While not necessarily related to bot traffic, but I was thinking that in the age of AI perhaps we'll be comparing technological development of countries based on their usage of AI per capita (similar to what we have with electricity usage per capita).

I'm really happy that Proton Pass provides an option to copy the username/password when you right click on an item. In the Bitwarden macOS app you have to click a dedicated copying button which feels so unintuitive and I had to consciously think about this every time I needed to copy a username/password. And Bitwarden has so many other things that could be improved in its UI, but due to muscle memory I forgot that there exist other password managers out there. So far Proton Pass seems to be much more polished than Bitwarden. Except it took me a while to find how to enable 2FA, which is in "Account and password" (not "Security and privacy") in the account settings.

Given the rate of progress, it's hard to argue why this couldn't be a reality.

If in the future Taalas-type chips with baked in frontier models are commonplace, this should be quite different price-wise from what we have now.

It's a bit dizzying to imagine that LLMs might even be able operate at speeds of chatjimmy.ai, but we already have working tech that does exactly this (albeit with less intelligence/capabilities).

English isn't my native language, but to my eyes it looks like writing "'Jonathan' is the oldest land animal" lacks context/completeness for an article title. Perhaps "'Jonathan' is the oldest known land animal" could add some mystery, but "'Jonathan' is the oldest land animal on Earth" sounds more attention-grabbing.

Out of curiosity I asked Codex to build a version of this article that can be read/scrolled in a normal way while preserving the original graphics/text. Codex built it in about 10min with GPT-6.1 Sol High (consumed 8% of my 5h quota). It even thought of adding a dark/light mode switcher which is useful too. It still needs a few prompts of minor polishing, but already more readable to me.

There's no question that training leading LLMs requires some serious expertise and know-how, but surely already having advanced LLMs/agents must be helping tremendously not only for software engineers but also for those working on LLMs themselves.

I learned today that the initial Nobel's will stated that people should be rewarded for the discoveries made in the preceding year, but this quite often isn't followed which is understandable given the enormity of amount of work that goes into modern-day discoveries that are considered for Nobel prizes.
