R•G•7 reported that his son, who would turn 10 in November and was attending the 5th grade, talked to him about F1 25, which he said was played by older students. After seeing the game's website and the PEGI 3 suitability rating, he asked Gemini for more information and expressed his surprise at the content. According to the description he provided, the game included races with teams, drivers, and tracks corresponding to real ones, career and team management features, a narrative storyline titled Braking Point 3, as well as online play or races with two players on the same screen. R•G•7 argued that the content warranted a rating for adults and not for children over the age of 3 years. He cited pit battles, driving at speeds over 200 km/h, and causing accidents without legal or insurance consequences, other than a penalty to the driver’s time. He added that, as described in the game, the police were not notified but a safety car appeared. He also mentioned that the communications in the pits contained, according to the description, strong curses and racist or misogynistic expressions. Connecting the reference to the speeds with traffic rules, R•G•7 wrote that speeds over 200 km/h incurred a fine of €2,000 and a one-year driving license suspension, with heavier penalties in case of reoffending. He expressed his opposition to the presence of such elements in a game with a PEGI 3 rating. #F1 #Formula1 #βιντεοπαιχνίδια (translated)

The Art of Uncertainty: How to Navigate Chance, Ignorance, Risk and Luck by David Spiegelhalter From the UK’s ‘statistical national treasure’, a clever and data-driven guide to how we can live with risk and uncertainty Life is uncertain. We are all the result of an unforeseen and unforeseeable sequence of small occurrences. But what underlies this fragile chain of events? Is it random or just complex? And what role does luck play in our lives? David Spiegelhalter has spent his career crunching data in order to help understand uncertainty and assess the chances of what might happen. In The Art of Uncertainty, he gives readers a window onto how we can all do this better. Uncertainty, he argues, is a relationship between the observer and an object in the outside world. He shows us how we can express it numerically, and then update our beliefs about the future in the face of constantly changing experience. In crystal-clear prose, he takes us through the principles of probability, a field that informs everything from annuities to pandemics and climate change, while also examining the limitations of statistical modelling and arguing we need to have the humility to admit our ignorance. Drawing on a wide range of real-world examples, this is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty in a world that makes it inevitable.

Angelo Mangiante recalled the Wimbledon final on July 12, won by Jannik Sinner against Alexander Zverev, who was defeated by the Italian for the tenth consecutive time. He said he had the honor of interviewing Sinner after the victory and described the day as historic for Italian sports. Mangiante reported that Sinner announced, after consulting the doctors, that he needed a cycle of treatment for his knee and considered the 2026 season over. According to the journalist, the year had ended with 44 wins and three losses, one Slam—his fifth career Slam—and five Masters 1000 titles: Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, and Rome. Sinner had been number one for 95 weeks, Mangiante wrote, adding that the break would give Zverev the opportunity to surpass him. Mangiante explained that the diagnosis, confirmed in four consultations and also by a knee expert seen in Lyon, Professor Bertrand Sommery-Cotet, was an extra-articular tendinopathy of the right knee, indicated as ITBS. He reported that the specialists did not consider surgery necessary and recommended rest, therapy, athletic reconditioning, and muscle strengthening, without haste. The goal, he wrote, was to fully recover and return at his best in 2027. The journalist noted that the break would mean six months without Sinner, for the first time, and deemed the decision to focus on a long-term career the most sensible. He also expressed confidence that upon return, the tennis player would come back even stronger. #Tennis #JannikSinner #Sportitaliano (translated)
