- Figure 5’s caption does not match the figure. The image is meeting notes about the “equality override” / `__eq__` exploit (the AlwaysEqual hack), not a blog post about `conftest.py`.

- This endpoint was introduced in LM Studio 0.4.1, not 0.4.0. LM Studio’s own release notes say 0.4.0 added the native stateful `/v1/chat` API, while `/v1/messages` arrived in 0.4.1.
- That is not the default for `lms load`. LM Studio’s docs say models loaded with `lms load` have no TTL by default; the 60-minute default applies to JIT-loaded models, not manually loaded ones.

- This adds an extra requirement that is not part of the standard definition of individual rationality in repeated-game folk theorems. Individual rationality means each player's payoff is at least their minmax payoff; the stricter condition is a separate notion.

- This overstates the scope of hypothermic circulatory arrest. It is not the standard of care for heart and brain operations in general; it is mainly used for selected complex procedures, especially certain aortic surgeries, and neurosurgical use is limited.

- The linked code does not compute the steering vector from a single “The caracara is a(n) [owl/hawk]” sentence. It averages last-token activations over eight owl statements and eight hawk statements.
- The linked results show Gemma 3 27B did produce the steered wrong answer before full collapse. At alpha 3.0, 60% of outputs were “owl” while the coding benchmark still scored 80%.

- This is wrong for Australia. Australian law does not classify these substances as "Class B" drugs: GHB is in Schedule 9 of the Poisons Standard, GBL was left unscheduled under that standard, and 1,4-butanediol became a border controlled drug in 2024.

- This mixes up two different parts of the eye. The normal blind spot is at the optic disc, not the fovea; dim stars disappear in direct gaze because the fovea lacks rods, which are needed for low-light vision.

- This overstates how much digital information exists relative to biology. The cited 2016 paper says digital storage was about 5×10^21 bytes in 2014, while DNA in all cells on Earth contains about 1.325×10^37 bytes—roughly 2.65 quadrillion times more.

- The total proper motion is miscalculated. Using the listed RA and Dec components gives about 0.976 arcsec/yr, not 0.962.
- This radial-velocity value is too low. Modern cataloged values are about +16.4 km/s, not +15.5 km/s.

- This is incorrect. The cited 2013 Cochrane review is a systematic review that also includes meta-analyses; its abstract explicitly says "The meta-analyses revealed..."
- This is biochemically incorrect. Many peptidases/proteases function best at neutral or alkaline pH, and sodium hydroxide is also commonly used in drug formulations simply for pH adjustment.

- The Federal Analogue Act is narrower than this. It applies only to certain substances substantially similar to Schedule I or II drugs and, under 21 U.S.C. § 813, only to the extent they are intended for human consumption.
- Phenylalanine is not an alkaloid. It is an amino acid; theobromine is an alkaloid, and chocolate also contains compounds such as caffeine and phenethylamine.
- For MAOI interactions, the relevant dietary chemical is tyramine, not tyrosine. Cheese, wine, and similar foods are restricted because aging or fermentation can produce tyramine from tyrosine.
