- This misstates CEA’s current principles. CEA’s official page lists five guiding principles—Commitment to Others, Scientific Mindset, Openness, Integrity, and Collaborative Spirit—not the four named here.
- This incorrectly identifies who founded Deworm the World. Evidence Action says Deworm the World was co-founded by Michael Kremer and Esther Duflo, not by the pair referred to here.
- This is out of date. GiveWell’s current top-charity page lists Malaria Consortium, Against Malaria Foundation, Helen Keller Intl, and New Incentives—not SCI, Deworm the World, or GiveDirectly.

- Bose's Sleepbuds II were rated for up to 10 hours per charge, not 16 hours. Bose also described the case as providing up to 30 additional hours of battery life.

- Anthropic’s own writeup says the exploit did not work from a normal web page in a standard browser. It only worked in a stripped-down test environment with browser security features removed, and the demonstrated result was file read/write in that environment—not “full kernel access.”

- The film’s international box office was about $1.35 million, not $2 million.
- This wording is impossible as written: Blu-ray sales could not be part of an April 2006 total, because Blu-ray launches in the U.S. began in June 2006.
- A 2006 Fortune report said the film had sold nearly six million videotapes and DVDs combined, not over six million DVDs alone.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_discounting
- This formula is wrong for an annuity with annual payments. Under hyperbolic discounting, a discrete annuity’s present value is the sum of each yearly payment discounted separately, not P·ln(1+kD)/k.
- This mixes up the discount factor with the discount rate. In hyperbolic discounting, 1/(1+kt) is the discount function; the corresponding discount rate is k/(1+kt).

- This mathematical rule is false in general. Medians are not additive, and even for right-skewed distributions the median of a sum can be either greater or less than the sum of the individual medians.

- METR’s current published figures are much higher: after a March 3, 2026 correction, Claude Opus 4.6’s 50% time horizon is about 719 hours, with an upper confidence bound around 3,950 hours, not 12 and 60.

- 这句把伊朗说成已经发生了“彻底而完全的政权更迭”，但当日多家权威报道都显示伊朗政权仍在运作、并未垮台。4月7日时，美伊仍在间接沟通，美国情报评估也称伊朗政权并无近期崩溃风险。

- The New Yorker says the 200+ pages were a broader collection of documents related to Dario Amodei, not just his private notes alone.
- The article was based in part on Amodei's notes, but the 200+ pages were a broader set of documents, not 200+ pages of private notes alone.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopsticks
- This is an anachronism. Sima Qian could discuss the Xia dynasty, but he could not have written about the 'Erlitou culture,' which is a modern archaeological term for a site first identified in 1959.
- This misattributes the source. The chopsticks passage is in the Book of Rites (Liji), a later anthology of ritual texts, and the relevant line in Qu Li I is not presented there as a quotation by Confucius.

- 官方《The Signpost》页面列出的主编任期显示，迈克尔·斯诺只担任到 2005 年 8 月，不是一直当编辑到 2008 年 2 月。

- Wikifunctions并不是在2020年7月2日成立的。维基媒体官方页面把Wikifunctions列为“launched in 2023”，并给出时间线：2022年8月上线Beta，2023年7月上线正式生产站点。
- 把Wikifunctions标成“百科全书”不准确。维基媒体官方将其描述为可协作编辑的“free library of functions”，即函数/代码函数库，而不是百科全书。
- 董事会批准时间不是2020年7月。维基媒体官方资料显示，Abstract Wikipedia是在2020年5月获董事会批准，2020年7月是项目公开宣布和开发开始的时间。

- This is outdated: The Signpost is not currently monthly. Its official About page says it is published twice a month, and the 2026 archive shows multiple issues in January and March 2026.
- This is no longer correct. The Signpost's official About page says it is published twice a month, and its recent archives show multiple issues in single months.
