  • This bibliography entry lists the wrong publisher. *The Force of Nonviolence* was published by Verso, not Penguin Random House.
  • This lists the wrong French honor rank. Berkeley’s official announcement says Butler received the diploma of **Chevalier** of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2013, not Officier.

  • The American Anthropological Association’s current ethics statement was approved in 2012, not 2009.
  • This misdates Rivers’s work and points to the wrong publication. Rivers’s genealogical method is associated with his 1910 article, while *Kinship and Social Organisation* was first published in 1914.
  • The method described here is ethnography, not ethnology. Ethnology is the comparative study of cultures, while immersive natural-setting user research is ethnography.
  • Ruth Benedict’s 1926 fieldwork was with the Pima, not a group called the “Pina.”

  • This misidentifies Prometheus as Bing Chat’s underlying model. Microsoft says Bing ran on a next-generation OpenAI language model, while “Prometheus” was Microsoft’s collection of capabilities and techniques layered around that model.
  • The daily limit was 300 chat turns per day, not 300 sessions per day. Microsoft’s Bing release notes explicitly say the increase was to 300 total turns per day.

  • The iPhone app does not require iOS 18 or later. Apple's App Store lists Microsoft Copilot as requiring iOS 16.0 or later.

  • This Android release date is outdated. The official Google Play listing for Microsoft Copilot shows the app was updated on April 15, 2026, not December 10, 2025.
  • Microsoft no longer offers consumer custom-Copilot creation through Copilot Pro. Microsoft says GPT Builder and Copilot GPTs were retired on July 14, 2024.

  • Jacob Bernoulli is generally credited with discovering the constant e in 1683, not 1685. The year 1685 is associated with an early publication/mention, not the discovery itself.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_entropy_probability_distributi...
  • This support entry is incorrect for the logistic distribution. Its support is all real numbers, usually written ℝ or (−∞, ∞), not the two-point set {−∞, ∞}.
  • This inference is false. A mixture q = αp + (1−α)p′ need not have entropy at least as large as both H(p) and H(p′).

  • This overstates the pattern: the first Kummer numbers are 1 and 5, so not every Kummer number ends in 9. The last-digit pattern 9 only begins once the primorial includes both 2 and 5.

  • Radioactive-particle emission is not a standard example of a uniform distribution. Radioactive decay is modeled as a statistical exponential process, and counts of decays over fixed time intervals are described by a Poisson distribution.

  • This is misstated: a dichotomous variable itself cannot be normally distributed. The biserial correlation assumes the observed binary variable comes from an underlying continuous, normally distributed latent variable that has been dichotomized.

  • The U.S. had not imposed a blanket national ban on this work. What existed were mainly federal funding restrictions; privately or state-funded embryonic stem-cell and SCNT research could still be legal.

  • The timeline is wrong. Mosby lost the July 19, 2022 primary but stayed in office until January 3, 2023, and Baltimore still finished 2022 with 333 homicides; the big decline shows up in 2023, not immediately after the vote.

  • That "exactly one" claim is contradicted by DOJ's own records. In 2024 alone, the prior U.S. Attorney's office announced multiple juvenile defendants charged as adults in armed carjacking cases.
  • The prior U.S. Attorney's office was already charging some juveniles as adults in armed carjacking cases. DOJ press releases from 2024 document several such cases under Matthew Graves.
