Fun City Game in Milan - Play&Discover the City (Tour Quiz BEST OF MILAN)
Fun City Game in Milan - Play&Discover the City (Tour Quiz BEST OF MILAN)
Join us for a fun urban game in Milan! Tour Quiz is not a classic guided tour, it is a city game where you explore the city while solving clues and competing with other teams. Instead of just listening to a guide, you discover Milan through a playful challenge: observe details, answer questions and reach the final point with the best score. Many people think Milan is only about the Duomo, but during this game you will discover hidden stories and surprising details of the city. Even locals often learn something new. **How the game works** At the beginning participants meet the organizer at the starting point. Each team receives a map of the route, a booklet with stories and curiosities and a quiz sheet with questions. Teams walk through the city following the route and solving the questions along the way. At the end we meet again at the final point, check the answers and announce the winning team. The team with the highest score wins a small prize. **Teams** You can come with your own team or join alone. If you come alone, we will help create teams with other participants. **Languages** The game is available in English, Italian and Russian. When booking, please write which language you prefer. **Route - Best of Milan** The route includes some of the most iconic places in Milan such as Duomo, Brera, Castello Sforzesco and the historic center. **Practical information** Duration about 2 - 2.5 hours. Team size 2 - 6 people. Total group up to 20 participants. Price 25€ adults, 15€ children. **Tickets** Tickets can be purchased here https://www.eventbrite.it/e/tour-quiz-il-meglio-di-milano-tickets-1992383989145 or on our website https://www.xcitytours.com/event-details/tour-quiz-il-meglio-di-milano-pomeriggio-13 Your Meetup RSVP helps us estimate the group size, but the ticket must be purchased through one of the links above. **About X City Tours** X City Tours organizes urban game experiences that combine exploration, culture and fun. Instead of a traditional guided tour, participants discover Milan through a playful challenge. The goal is simple: discover Milan while playing. Join our Meetup group to discover future Tour Quiz routes in Milan.

Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

Mobility, Yoga & Breath – Milan Meetup
Mobility, Yoga & Breath – Milan Meetup
I’m Raz a movement and yoga teacher with over 10 years of experience studying and practicing in India, the birthplace of yoga. I’ve taught internationally and worked with people from many backgrounds, helping them move with greater ease, awareness, and confidence. I’ve recently made Milan my home, and as an international teacher now based here, I would love to build a welcoming community through regular movement, breath, and mindful practice. These sessions are especially designed for people navigating daily modern life long hours at a desk, office work, stress, and tension from sitting or repetitive movement. ⸻ What to expect These sessions blend: \* Mobility work to improve joint health, coordination, and ease of movement \* Flexibility training to safely release tension from daily posture and gradually increase range of motion \* Breathwork & mindfulness to regulate the nervous system and support mental clarity and stress relief No experience or flexibility is required — the practice is fully adaptable to all levels. ⸻ About the class Each 60-minute session is a complete guided practice designed to help you feel better in your body — not only during the class, but in your daily life. We move through: \* Gentle warm-up and joint preparation \* Controlled mobility sequences to counteract stiffness from sitting and office work \* Deep stretching targeting common tight areas (hips, back, shoulders, neck) \* Breath awareness to reduce stress and reset the mind after a busy day \* Guided relaxation to integrate the practice and calm the nervous system The approach is slow, mindful, and progressive, focusing on quality of movement rather than intensity or performance.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
