Mateusz Morawiecki presented during the Forum Ideas for Poland organized by the Sobieski Institute the proposals of Development Plus concerning attracting capital and investments as well as a new model of development for the country. He assessed that the model based on cheap labor is exhausted, and Poland should develop its own capital and technologies. He also pointed out that the strategy of a strong state should be based on capital, an army, and alliances and take Polish interests into account. In the dispute over debt, Morawiecki reminded that during his premiership, the debt in relation to GDP fell from 51% to 49.5%, while the state simultaneously financed social policy, local governments, and armaments. He advocated for the development of Poland as a center of trade, transport, and energy, pointing to CPK as the foundation of this strategy, also due to its military significance. He accused Minister Hetman of undermining the strategic sense of the project by limiting it and postponing deadlines. Morawiecki also called for the development of ports and reminded of the abandoned project of a container terminal in Świnoujście, which was supposed to take over trade handled by foreign ports. He described the conflict surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal as weakening the state and trust in the Polish economy, and Development Plus — as he noted — proposes a deep constitutional reset. He also pointed out the taxation of banks as a possible source of additional budget revenues. The party's proposals were presented under the slogan "#PoweredbyPoland". He listed public procurement supporting development, technologies for the economy and defense, lower energy and financing costs, and orderly public finances. He said that Development Plus was created to implement a strategy based on capital, investments, and plans for the coming decades. #Polska #Rozwój #Inwestycje (translated)

The services in action reported that the court wanted to subject Paweł Rubcow, whose entry was described as a Russian GRU agent operating under the name Pablo González, to a red notice from Interpol. According to the author, the Main Police Headquarters refused to submit the request, considering that spying would have a political character and Interpol would not agree to consider it. The portal "Rzeczpospolita" described this decision as controversial. The entry recalled that Rubcow was detained by the ABW in February 2022 at the Polish-Ukrainian border, and the prosecutor's office accused him of espionage for the GRU from 2016 to 2022. The author wrote that in August 2024, Rubcow was handed over to Russia as part of a prisoner exchange, while the Polish proceedings remained suspended. The court was to have already issued a wanted notice and a European Arrest Warrant, and the red notice was supposed to enable searches in about 200 countries. As reported by the services in action, the International Cooperation Bureau of the Main Police Headquarters referred to Article 3 of the Interpol Constitution, which prohibits the organization from engaging in political, military, religious, or racial matters. After receiving the opinion from the Main Police Headquarters, the court withdrew the request for Rubcow's prosecution on June 3. Stanisław Żaryn, an expert on special services and former spokesman for the coordinator of special services, wrote on X that the Main Police Headquarters had already regarded the case as political and that the withdrawal of the request was "another huge mistake." #szpiegostwo #Interpol #Polska (translated)

The Daily from Mordor accused the Polish authorities of helplessness and evading explanations after the crash of an armed Ukrainian long-range drone in Lithuania. It was stated that no one was killed, and a civilian car burned. According to the author, Ukraine apologized and explained that the drone was heading for targets in Russia, but due to interference, it deviated from its course. The author claimed that the Lithuanian Minister of Defense and the President's National Security Advisor referred to radar data indicating that the drone entered Lithuania directly from Poland. He attributed the denial by the Polish government and the Ministry of National Defense to the fact that the Polish system did not register anything. He added that there were suggestions that the drone could have launched from Lithuania, near the border with Poland. The Daily from Mordor presented two possible scenarios. If the government was unaware of the flight, it would, in his opinion, indicate the ineffectiveness of air defense, despite spending billions on shields, radars, and armaments. The author also pointed out the lack of a warning from the RCB Alert and the scrambling of fighters. If the authorities were aware of the incident but did not inform the citizens, he accused them of willfully endangering civilians to avoid difficult questions and political scandal. He assessed that in both cases, the government failed the responsibility exam. #Polska #Bezpieczeństwo #Drony (translated)

Radek Pogoda described a list of priorities that he attributed to his great-grandmother: a full pantry, healthy children, a safe home, produce from the garden, family meals, and kind relationships with neighbors. He wrote that achieving such a level of life was a great success in the past. According to Pogoda, in the 20th century companies began to present modest homes, old cars, and home-cooked meals as sources of shame to encourage people to buy new products. He also claimed that the rising cost of living forced both parents to work, and later, companies sold them, among other things, childcare and ready-made meals. Pogoda assessed that the former satisfaction with a simpler life began to be labeled as poverty and lack of ambition, and people were sold aspirations related to a bigger house, a car, and a wardrobe. He wrote that this way an endless cycle of consumerism was created. #refleksja #życie #prostota (translated)

AlkoInwestor described how to present saving as minimalism. He suggested that instead of talking about a reluctance to spend money, one should emphasize the lack of need for possessions, while referring to a few identical clothes as a capsule wardrobe. According to the author, one can also explain not buying a new phone by stating that the current one meets all needs and allows one to resist marketing. Among the examples, he mentioned refusing to go out to restaurants due to noise and crowds, forgoing vacations in protest against mass tourism, and proposing family holidays without gifts. He jokingly suggested limiting household items to a minimum while simultaneously accumulating ETF units. He advised responding to questions about driving the same car for 15 years with a question about the motivation to buy a new SUV, adding that one can have a functioning Skoda oneself. The post was tagged with the hashtag #FIRE. #FIRE #minimalizm #oszczędzanie #stylżycia (translated)

Jakub Tepper described six months of pain, inflammation, and fluid accumulation in his knee. As he wrote, the problems began during his stay in Japan, where he walked a lot up and down stairs. In Poland, he visited two physiotherapists and an orthopedist, and also had an MRI done. According to his account, the visits and tests cost him several thousand zlotys in total, and previous treatments provided only short-lived relief. Tepper wrote that during his stay in Japan, he accidentally ended up with a physiotherapist who, after a conversation and brief examination, believed that the problem might stem from pushing the hips forward and improper loading of the legs while walking. The therapist advised him to change the way he placed his feet and went up the stairs, as well as to work on his posture; he also performed massage and stretching. The visit cost 125 zlotys. The author reported that after the meeting, he felt significant relief, and the pain and inflammation almost disappeared. He noted that he did not want to draw categorical conclusions from a single case, but wrote that the Japanese physiotherapist identified the cause of his complaints in just a few minutes. #fizjoterapia #medycyna #zdrowie (translated)

Remek Kinas announced the release of basal 2.2, which—he wrote—introduces the basal-calibrate tool for adjusting model calibration to the user's local data. According to him, the tool uses labeled examples from a given process, and the data is not shared externally or used for training the model. Kinas stated that he tested the solution in a new field where the model had not been trained. He wrote that using the "1%" setting from the provided file would result in automatically accepting every eighth decision, with 8% of those being incorrect. After calibration on the user's data, the calibration error for choice questions decreased from 0.268 to 0.083. In the case of the verify statements, the model automatically accepted 54.8% of the cases and made no errors in doing so. The release also included FP8 and GGUF ports for basal-omni-1.0-mini and max, as well as MLX ports for Apple Silicon Macs: mini, max, and 1.1-max. Kinas thanked Piotr Durlej for GGUF export, Kuba Sołtys for implementation on Google TPU, Michał Kardyś for work related to AMD Strix Halo, user lukaspoloki for basal-viz, and Paweł Kiszczak for exports to Apple Silicon MLX. The author also expressed gratitude for the posts and comments from the past weekend. He mentioned that he had responded to some of them and then worked on further improvements; he also announced that he would publish comments in the evening. #sztucznainteligencja #uczenieMaszynowe #technologia (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk commented on another interview given by Barbara Mróz-Gorgoń to Onet. He wrote that when asked about the reason for the interview, she replied that she wanted to be able to continue living, and in his opinion, the whole situation resembled a "national tragedy." Kusznieruk ironically suggested that Mróz-Gorgoń could be entrusted with a government project, provided with a salary of 50,000 PLN per month and a company car. He also mentioned Radosław Mróz from TVN24 and his wife Justyna Śliwowska-Mróz from TVP, and wrote that taxpayers could bear the costs of such a solution. #Polska #drama #media (translated)

The Stock Information published a review of events in which they wrote about the riots in France and assessed that the authorities lost control over them. They reported that over 1,000 officers were injured there, and that the town hall in Limoges, which survived two wars, burned down. They also mentioned hundreds of expensive Pokémon cards found on the street in Lille. The authors wrote that Iran had announced the opening of the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the US met its conditions, and that more tankers were burning in the strait. They also noted that Egypt was to send troops to defend Saudi Arabia, and that the Houthis shot down a Saudi helicopter. They mentioned the new Iranian Minister of Defense and a fire at an oil terminal in St. Petersburg. The review also included information about clashes, fires, and destruction in Milan and Bologna, the use of gas and water cannons against students in Belgium, housing protests and riots in Spain, demonstrations regarding wages and housing costs in Lisbon, and a fire at the offices of the Supreme Court in Tirana. The authors also included a mention of an EU mandate regarding an immigration ban, without explaining what exactly it concerned. They attributed to Donald Trump the words that Volodymyr Zelensky would not end the war as long as he received money from Europe, and wrote that Trump supported Benjamin Netanyahu in the elections. They added that Trump was to reconstruct a golf course in Washington. Finally, the authors humorously compared the situation in France to autumn and wrote that when stepping out of the house, one can get hit in the face. #wiadomości #polityka #świat (translated)
