- That overstates Cowork’s isolation. Anthropic says Cowork’s computer-use feature runs outside the VM sandbox and interacts with your actual desktop and apps.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_%28software%29
- In 2020, Servo moved to the Linux Foundation, not Linux Foundation Europe. Linux Foundation Europe did not become Servo’s host until 2023.
- Servo has not been entirely volunteer-driven. Official project updates say funded developers and engineers have been actively working on Servo since 2023.
- The 2020 transfer was to the Linux Foundation, not Linux Foundation Europe. Servo joined Linux Foundation Europe later, in 2023.
- Firefox Reality was first released in 2018, not 2020. Mozilla announced its first public release on September 18, 2018.
- This overstates Servo’s role. Firefox Reality was built on Mozilla’s GeckoView/Quantum stack, with only experimental optional Servo support.

- This is being presented as a confirmed sequence of events, but current reporting says the method and culprit are not established. News reports describe the 'hair dryer' / portable heat-source story as an unverified rumor while the official investigation is only beginning.
- Météo-France did not itself 'file charges.' It filed a police complaint, and prosecutors said the investigation was only just starting.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_(website)
- The host’s surname is misspelled here. Vox’s podcast listing identifies him as Sean Rameswaram, not “Ramaswaram.”
- This description is outdated. Vox announced in 2023 that Jonquilyn Hill became host of The Weeds and described it as a weekly podcast, and the feed has since been transitioned away from The Weeds.
- This is outdated. Apple’s listing for the Vox show says its series finale aired in December 2018, so it is not a current weekly podcast.

- This misdescribes Meng et al.’s causal tracing. Their method corrupts subject-token embeddings with Gaussian noise, then restores selected internal activations to their clean values; it does not corrupt “all nodes,” nor does it patch states *with* Gaussian noise.

- Greenwood’s University of Alberta degree was a Bachelor of Education, not a Bachelor of Arts.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nongqawuse
- This is anachronistic: British Kaffraria was not established until late 1847, so it could not have been a "recently established" colony when Nongqawuse was born in 1841.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akha_people
- This dates the Akha arrival in Southeast Asia too late. Scholarly sources place Akha communities in eastern Burma by the 1860s, so their movement into Southeast Asia began before the early 1900s.
- The date/dynasty pairing is wrong. The Ming dynasty ruled from 1368 to 1644; 1644 marks its collapse, not a Ming invasion.
- The migration date and the cited cause do not fit together. Burma/Myanmar's long-running civil war began in 1948, decades after the turn of the 20th century.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_cell_types
- Pancreatic acinar cells secrete digestive enzymes, while bicarbonate-rich fluid is secreted by pancreatic duct/ductal cells, not acinar cells.
- Theca interna cells primarily produce androgens; those androgens are converted into estrogens by granulosa cells.
- “Outer hair cells” are cochlear hearing cells. Vestibular hair cells are classified as type 1 and type 2, not inner and outer hair cells.
- “Inner hair cells” are cochlear hearing cells. Vestibular hair cells are type 1 and type 2, not inner hair cells.
- These are widely used pericyte/mural-cell markers, not standard endothelial-cell biomarkers.
- The Human Cell Atlas is not a Columbia University Medical Center project; it is an international consortium.
- The Human Cell Atlas does not currently contain 37 trillion profiled cells; its official data portal reports tens of millions of cells, not trillions.

- This misidentifies Bonavita’s workplace and location. Reliable accounts place Rosina Bonavita at the GM/Eastern Aircraft plant in Tarrytown, New York, not at Convair in San Diego.
- For OFT-2, Rosie did not carry the 15 sensors in her body. NASA says those 15 sensors were used on OFT-1; on OFT-2, sensors were placed on the seat pallet instead.
- This location is wrong: Memorial Park and the Michigan WWII Legacy Memorial are in Royal Oak, Michigan, not in Detroit.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlang_(programming_language)
- This description of Erlang atom syntax is too narrow. Unquoted atoms may also contain `_` and `@`, so they are not limited to strictly alphanumeric characters.
- This is outdated. HiPE was removed from Erlang/OTP, so the official implementation no longer includes the HiPE native code compiler.
- In Erlang, `;` does not mean `else`. It separates function clauses.

- Erlang/OTP’s first release predates 1998. Ericsson’s own history says the first OTP release, OTP R1B, came out in 1996.
- The displayed OTP 18.2 application list is not accurate. Ericsson’s official OTP 18.2 release page lists a different set of applications, including many omitted here and excluding several shown in this list.
