The author of the entry wrote that while Poles lamented the burned French town hall, after 1989 hundreds of monuments were destroyed or neglected in Poland, often deliberately. He pointed out that tenement houses, factories, cinemas, and palaces were disappearing, and in his opinion, this did not provoke protests because discount stores, parking lots, and development investments were more important. #zabytki #Polska #architektura #FR #PL (translated)

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has proposed to hold a meeting in November attended by U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to discuss ending the war against Ukraine on terms favorable to Moscow, according to sources, reports the newspaper "Wall Street Journal." #Putins #Tramps #MieraSarunas (translated)

Ilmārs Poikāns wrote that Russian media and diplomatic circles have reported on Vladimir Putin's offer to hold a trilateral meeting with Donald Trump and Xi Jinping next week or in the coming weeks to discuss Ukraine. According to Poikāns, neither Volodymyr Zelensky nor European leaders would be invited to the negotiating table. Poikāns described this initiative as an attempt to return to the logic of the 1945 great power agreements and to challenge Ukraine's right to determine its own future. He emphasized that such a precedent would be dangerous for Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, as it could reinforce the belief that territorial borders can be changed through military force. Poikāns also warned that Russia could use the pause for the restoration of its army and military industrial base, but later make demands regarding buffer zones or the withdrawal of allied forces from the Baltic states. In his view, the proposal could be adapted to Trump's desire for a quick agreement, while Xi's involvement would attempt to make China a guarantor of Russia's gains. Poikāns pointed out that support for the division of Ukraine could significantly worsen China's relations with the European Union. He also suggested that the leak of this information before the U.S. midterm elections and Trump's expected visit to China could increase distrust among Kyiv, European capitals, and Washington. Poikāns stressed that talks about Ukraine without Ukraine would not be a peace process, but rather imposed capitulation. He urged Europe, especially the Baltic states, Poland, and the Nordic countries, to speed up the strengthening of military capabilities, as he believes that issues of European security should not be decided by great powers without European involvement. #Ukraina #Baltija #Starptautiskāsattiecības (translated)

Michał Podlewski praised Remek Kinas, attributing to him a contribution to the creation of Bielik, described by Podlewski as the first Polish model with reasoning trained through RL. He wrote that Kinas is developing biological AI in a Polish startup, and after hours — financing the work with his own funds and without external support — he created the decision model Jev, which was supposed to be better and faster than the original. Podlewski also stated that Kinas advises the Krakow company SATIM in creating systems for detecting ships in ports and airplanes at airports based on satellite radar images and is a co-author of the Pathway publication on BDH architecture. He added that many young AI specialists admire him, and Kinas himself is modest, friendly, and committed to the development of Polish artificial intelligence. He estimated that in America, he could lead a large AI laboratory and called him an example of the slogan "A Pole can do it." https://t.co/Z8IeMIzufd #AI #startup #Polska (translated)
