- Trikafta has improved cystic fibrosis outcomes dramatically, but evidence does not show that it gives CF patients a normal life expectancy. The latest Cystic Fibrosis Foundation survival estimate is 66 years, well below overall U.S. life expectancy.
- A short-lived increase in sputum after starting CFTR modulators is reported in some patients, but it is not a universal, established effect of Trikafta, and official standards describe it as "sputum purging," not vomiting.

- The exact restitution amount to Knight’s victims was $1,894.75, not $2,000. Contemporary coverage sometimes rounded this to “nearly $2,000,” but the court record gives the precise figure.
- Knight was not actually sentenced on October 28, 2013. On that date he pleaded guilty and entered the Co-Occurring Disorders Court program; sentencing was deferred and the sentence was imposed later, in March 2015.

- This was already false when the post was published: PR #200, opened earlier that day, reported a different complex saving of 0.000665489485337, so not every post-#193 PR used 7.009e-4.

- That absolute claim is too strong. While routine Ellis Island name-changing is a myth, there is at least one documented exception: officials changed Frank Woodhull’s manifest entry to Mary Johnson in 1908.

- 現在のテレビ東京公式情報では、豊島晋作のWBS担当は「水曜～金曜」で、竹崎由佳との現行コンビとも案内されていません。記述は最新の出演体制と一致していません。
- テレビ東京の公式プロフィールでは、豊島晋作は2016年にロンドン支局長となり、2019年7月に本社帰任とされています。期間は約3年半で、『4年半在籍』とは合いません。

- This confuses an index fund’s total return with its dividend yield. A 7% average return is not the same thing as receiving 7% cash dividends each year.

- The 208 GT4 was created to avoid Italy’s higher tax on engines over 2.0 liters, but 38% was not the rate in 1975. Credible sources place the rate lower then, with 38% coming later.

- The reported form was for nonimmigrant visas, not immigrant visas. State Department materials distinguish the nonimmigrant DS-160 system from the immigrant DS-260 process.

- This formula is missing a square root. For the 1D Fourier transform, Beckner’s sharp constant is \((p^{1/p}/q^{1/q})^{1/2}\), not \(p^{1/p}/q^{1/q}\).
- This inequality is missing a factor of 1/2 (equivalently, a square root). The standard bound is \(H(\phi) \le \tfrac12\log(2\pi e\,V(\phi)) = \log\sqrt{2\pi e\,V(\phi)}\).
- The right-hand side should be the square root of the variance product, not the product itself. The standard inequality is \(\frac12 \le e^{H(|f|^2)+H(|g|^2)}/(2\pi e) \le \sqrt{V(|f|^2)V(|g|^2)}\).

- This reverses how Schönhage–Strassen works. The original algorithm is a modular/Fermat-style FFT over rings modulo 2^n+1, i.e. the number-theoretic approach, not an ordinary complex FFT used “rather than NTT.”
- The maximum unsigned value representable with k+1 bits is 2^(k+1)−1, not 2^k−1.
- Numbers of the form 2^M+1 are Fermat numbers only when M itself is a power of two. Schönhage–Strassen works modulo 2^N+1 for a chosen N; it is not restricted to Fermat numbers.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_algorithm
- OpenAI did not report a lower bound here; it reported an algorithmic upper bound. Its manuscript claims a multiplication algorithm running in O(n(log n)^{1-κ}) time and says this refutes an Ω(n log n) lower-bound conjecture in that model.

- By 2026, Nebius said its Kansas City-area data center was already operating. Calling that Kansas City GPU cluster "under construction" is outdated.

- Google did announce a new enterprise product called the "Gemini agent," but Gemini is still also the name of Google's model family. Google’s own docs published the same week list Gemini models such as Gemini 4 Argon and Gemini 3.8 Flash.
- Google's announcement said Claude models are already supported "today," not merely planned for later. The new Gemini agent routes work across Gemini models and Claude models from Anthropic now.
