en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word2Vec
  • The standard Word2Vec architecture is called the continuous skip-gram model, not “continuously sliding skip-gram.”
  • This reverses CBOW’s direction. In CBOW, the input is the surrounding context words, and the model predicts the current target word.
  • Standard Word2Vec does not inherently assign a random vector to unseen words; it typically has no learned representation for out-of-vocabulary words at all.

  • Inside Higher Ed did not report that 56 of 59 students were cheating. Its story said the professor suspected a majority or dozens of students, but it did not give a 56-of-59 figure.

  • This is false: wild Atlantic salmon still exist in Europe today, including in thousands of rivers from Portugal to Arctic Russia.
  • Official fisheries data do not show the U.S. supplying a vast majority of wild salmon; Russia is often comparable to or larger than the U.S. in wild salmon catch.

  • This overstates the timeline. Manifest’s official site says it started in 2023, the year after the first Vibecamp in March 2022, not “years later.”

  • This mixes up two different Molson Coors campaigns. Ono starred in a Miller64 ad that ran in the lead-up to the 2022 Super Bowl, not a Super Bowl commercial for Miller Lite.
  • Ono did join Axiom Math, but he did not fully leave academia. His current UVA page says he is on leave as a University of Virginia professor.
  • The year is wrong. Ono’s official UVA CV lists this honor as a 2023 fellowship, not 2024.

  • INDEC’s latest national figure does not put Argentina at 1.05. Its October 2025 national projection gives a total fertility rate of 1.27 for 2025, and INDEC says Argentina was at 1.4 in 2022.

  • This misstates the case: it involved three women, not two, and they were found guilty before receiving conditional discharges.
  • This understates the case: it was not one joke in a chat, but 10 counts over multiple racist WhatsApp messages and memes.

  • This is incorrect because Q itself is also an intermediate field of Q(∛2)/Q. In fact, for this degree-3 extension the intermediate fields are exactly Q and Q(∛2).

  • This conflates two different South Korean policies. The 1976 plan aimed to phase out foreign adoption, but the exception for only mixed-race and disabled children was part of a later 1989 plan.

  • ここは陰茎の神経として誤記です。陰茎の主要な知覚神経は「陰茎背神経」であり、「陰核背神経」は女性の陰核の神経です。
  • 鳥類の有陰茎群を狭く書きすぎています。文献では、陰茎(真の交接器)を持つ現生鳥類として、ダチョウだけでなく他の走鳥類、さらに多くのシギダチョウ類・カモ目・ホウカンチョウ科なども挙げられています。

  • Bezos really did use the “third world prison” line as a dating criterion, but contemporary profiles say that strategy did not lead him to MacKenzie Scott. He met Scott at D.E. Shaw, where she worked next door and asked him to lunch.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satomi_Ishihara
  • This misstates both her debut and her role in *Kimi wa Petto*. Satomi Ishihara’s official profile lists her 2003 debut role as Usagi Yamamoto in *Mado o Aketara*, and lists her *Kimi wa Petto* role as Shibusawa Rumi, not a starring role.
  • This gets the Blue Ribbon category wrong. Satomi Ishihara’s official profile says she received the 46th Blue Ribbon Award for Best Newcomer for *My Grandpa*, not Best Actress.
  • The character name is wrong. Official and contemporary sources identify Satomi Ishihara’s role in *Saka no Ue no Kumo* as Akiyama Sueko (秋山季子), wife of Akiyama Saneyuki.
  • This misidentifies the playwright/director. The play was by Tsuka Kōhei (つかこうへい), not “Tsutomu Kohei.”
  • The upcoming Fuji TV drama’s title is given incorrectly here. Fuji TV’s official site uses the English title *Political Lupin* and the Japanese title ポリティカルパン, not *Politica Lupin*.
