HIB HOB XD wrote that in his opinion it can be assumed that Carrick will be dismissed the next morning. He indicated Conte and Nagelsmann as the most serious candidates for his successor, but assessed that the preparations for the season have already been neglected. He added that more intense training could lead to injuries for half the squad and admitted that it is difficult for him to support the team. #PremierLeague #trener #piłkaNożna (translated)

BarcaInfo criticized a portion of FC Barcelona fans for their reactions after the defeat, accusing them of undermining the team's achievements and lacking a balanced assessment of the situation. It was noted that before the match in Paris against Luis Enrique's team, the players had only one normal training session, 24 hours prior to the match, and that a delayed flight and insufficient recovery hindered preparations. The author emphasized that he did not see these circumstances as excuses but as factors affecting the game in a busy schedule. He recalled that Hansi Flick had repeatedly highlighted the importance of recovery. He added that aside from Joan García and Xavi Espart, it was difficult for him to single out players, attributing the performance responsibility to the whole team. BarcaInfo accused some fans of panicking after a single defeat and reminded them that, in his opinion, the team had been giving them reasons to rejoice for three years. He also criticized individuals who, as he wrote, would start supporting another club in case of a longer drop in form. #FCBarcelona #piłkaNożna #kibice (translated)

Remek Kinas reported that version 2.3.1 of the basal engine, released on October 21, has accelerated the performance of the basal-omni models. He wrote that in version 2.3, the engine with CUDA graphs began to fully support basal-omni (Gemma 4), previously available in fast mode via vLLM or slower PyTorch. Among the solutions implemented, he mentioned single calculations of document states for multiple questions as well as FlashAttention 3 and FlexAttention. In tests on a single H100 card, with 16 parallel queries, basal-omni-1.0-mini achieved 61.2 decisions per second compared to 10.0 in version 2.2, basal-omni-1.1-max — 16.2 compared to 4.8, and basal-omni-1.0-ultra — 6.1 compared to 2.0. For five questions about a long document, the results were 21.4 compared to 1.6, 10.6 compared to 0.72, and 4.8 compared to 0.28 decisions per second, respectively. Kinas noted that out of 10,606 test decisions, the best response matched version 2.2 in 99.85–99.99% of cases where the model was confident. The share of automated decisions at 1% error was expected to change by at most 0.1 points. Among the new features in version 2.3.1, he mentioned support for documents of up to 82,000 tokens by the ultra model on a single H100 card; previously, he noted that memory was insufficient above about 32,000. He also mentioned that in JevBench, basal did not provide 15 responses due to exceeding the limit. He added that agents and conversations only process the new part of the state, and the step for basal-omni-1.1-max was shortened from 0.79 to 0.27 seconds. In the case of multiple questions about a long document, the throughput of the mini model increased from 21.9 to 33.7 questions per second, a 54% increase. Kinas also wrote that Blackwell cards use the fast engine by default, and basal-2.0 (Bielik) in eager mode on H100 reduced response time from 591 to 52 ms. He listed clearer HTTP codes 422, 503, and 500, load available at /health, the basal-calibrate message about too few labels, and support for images and audio through vLLM for the mini model, which he described as 6–8 times faster. He also thanked the contributors and testers: Miłosz (Butterski), Grzegorz Brzezinka, from Piotrków, and Kamil (kamilrosa), as well as edurdias and the company BRAUN SI / NovaraX for testing on their own data. Special thanks were given to Damian Plewa and the IT SOL team for the basal-rs engine. #basal #AI #inference (translated)

We all agree that China is an important trading partner for the EU and we want this partnership to be fair, balanced, and beneficial for both sides. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced during a press conference at the end of the EU summit in Brussels the preparation of new tools aimed at strengthening the protection of the EU market. #UE #handel #Chiny (translated)

Radosław Fogiel accused the Prime Minister of the Polish government of primarily engaging in deceitful incitement of tensions. He assessed that this was meant to prepare the ground for the narrative regarding tomorrow's demonstration, pointing to 2:00 PM and the location near the Constitutional Tribunal. #Polska #Manifestacja #TrybunałKonstytucyjny (translated)

The author criticized Szefernaker's post, stating that instead of calming emotions, it served political mobilization. He pointed out that Szefernaker began with the story of a voter who traveled half of Poland to cast his vote for him, and then — as the author put it — presented Donald Tusk as an unscrupulous salesman, Poland as a state of chaos and high prices, and suggested a political nature to the accusations and arrests. The author also noted the announcement to remove Tusk's government from power within a year. He emphasized that Szefernaker wrote as the head of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland, while also reminding of his role in Karol Nawrocki's campaign, whom he referred to as a civic candidate. The author accused the Presidential Chancellery and politicians associated with Nawrocki of inconsistency: on one hand, they were supposed to call for an end to political war and calm the mood, while on the other hand — according to the author — they were stoking conflict, presenting government decisions as threats, and mobilizing voters against it. In this context, he recalled statements from Bogucki and Nawrocki about the need to ease tensions. The author noted that the efficiency of the state is not measured solely by the number of accusations or arrests, but added that it should not also depend on whether those in power are protected from responsibility. He assessed that merely labeling the accusations as political does not prove that they had such a nature and announced that he would remind of earlier statements every time the Presidential Chancellery calls for an end to the political conflict. #Polska #Polityka #Emocje (translated)

The Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland informed that President Karol Nawrocki assessed that Poland should not be governed in haste and with careless preparation of law. He accused the ruling parties of delaying the development of regulations for months and then expecting legislators and the president to fix the oversights. He added that they devoted too much time to promotion on the internet and recording political spots, and too little to solving the problems of Poles. #Polska #polityka #legislacja (translated)

Iga Świątek said in front of the Canal+ Sport cameras after defeating Ashlyn Krueger that her solid and intense play in the first set and effective defense were key to her victory. As she assessed, this put pressure on her opponent. In the second set, Ashlyn Krueger raised her level, so Świątek had to adjust; she was pleased that she played well in the most important moments. The Polish player conveyed that she is focusing on recovery and preparations for the upcoming matches at the end of the season, rather than on qualifying for the WTA Finals, which — as she pointed out — did not solely depend on her yet. Regarding the playing conditions, Świątek said that she had been playing her recent matches in different circumstances and did not yet know the court well enough to precisely predict how she would have to adapt. She assessed that during the match with Krueger, the balls were heavier, and the humidity was higher than during the morning session, but she preferred those conditions. She added that from the beginning she was ready to adapt to a different ball bounce and the opponent's playing style. #zkortu #IgaŚwiątek #WTA #tenis (translated)

The court decided to place a 66-year-old man under arrest, suspected of preparing an attack, including on the Prime Minister. Those who mocked and disregarded the threat and undermined the actions of the services should now be very ashamed — wrote Tomasz Siemoniak, the coordinator of special services, on the X portal. #areszt #zamach #prokuratura (translated)
