- This page’s present-tense “current” bar is outdated. Coefficient Giving said on July 23, 2026 that it had lowered its global health and wellbeing funding bar from about 2,000x to about 1,000x.

- This overstates the exclusivity problem. Repurposed or previously approved drugs can still receive FDA exclusivity in some circumstances, including 3-year exclusivity for a new indication and 7-year orphan-drug exclusivity.

- Hugging Face says it detected and reconstructed the intrusion largely with its own telemetry and analysis, so the detailed postmortem was not only possible because the agent ran on OpenAI infrastructure.

- This overstates what Chinese majors do. Official Chinese-major curricula at major universities explicitly require substantial Chinese language study, including reading and writing Chinese texts.
- This is contradicted by standard studio-art curricula. Official art-major requirements at major universities include studio-based training, drawing, concentration in media like painting or sculpture, and senior creative projects.

- The displayed MPK formula is missing a β in the exponent on A. For the stated production function, the correct marginal product is proportional to A^(1−α−β), not A^(1−α).

- These attraction counts are badly outdated. Official Chongming tourism sources list far more A-rated scenic areas than this, including six 4A attractions and many 3A attractions.
- This bus-route figure is outdated. An official 2026 Chongming transport profile says the district operates 68 bus routes, not 41.

- This compresses two different dates into one. Sources on the symbol’s history say Milanese anarchists had already taken it up experimentally in 1966; 1968 was when use in Milan became systematic, not when it first spread there.

- 这里把《尤利西斯》的出版地点写成了爱尔兰，但该书的首次完整书籍出版地是法国巴黎。
- 《The Little Review》连载时并没有把这些“Telemachus / Nestor / Proteus ……”式标题逐章印出来；这些标题主要来自乔伊斯后来提供的 schema（提要表）。
- 《尤利西斯》并不是严格按“每小时一章”推进的。各章时间并不均匀，甚至第4章与第1章发生在同一时段。

- 这把弓在《奥德赛》中并没有被带到特洛伊战场；奥德修斯后来是在伊塔刻用它射杀求婚者，而不是“特洛伊人”。
- 阿波罗多罗斯写的是三人去塞浦路斯劝说基尼拉斯（Cinyras）参战，不是去劝说阿喀琉斯。
- 在阿波罗多罗斯《书藏》的这一版本里，蛇是阿波罗送来的“征兆”，不是波塞冬送来的。

- 这里把行向量和列向量写反了。1×3 矩阵是行向量，3×1 矩阵才是列向量。
- 这句话把点积的几何解释错误地限制在三维及以下。标准点积的几何公式 $a\cdot b=|a||b|\cos\theta$ 对任意维实欧几里得空间 $\mathbb{R}^n$ 都成立。
- 点积小于 0 只说明夹角是钝角（大于 90° 小于 180°），不等于“方向相反”。只有夹角恰好 180° 时，两个向量才是反向共线。
- 这句话把高维或其他数域上的内积说成只有这一种坐标公式，这是不对的。尤其在复向量空间，标准内积应为 $\sum a_i\overline{b_i}$，不是 $\sum a_i b_i$。

- 这段任职时间和学校对不上。权威传记资料显示，德范克在1947—1954年任教于约翰斯·霍普金斯大学；他到薛顿贺尔大学任教是在1962—1966年前后。

- This absolute claim is too strong. Experimental studies have found that some kinds of music can improve certain cognitive tasks or have no negative effect, so music does not invariably degrade thinking.
