  • The Odyssey did not begin its delayed world voyage from Dublin. Contemporary reports show it finally departed Belfast in early October 2024 after months of delays there.
  • That cabin size is wrong by a large margin. Villa Vie’s Deck 2 Golden Passport option is a porthole cabin, and independent deck-plan references list Deck 2 porthole cabins at about 140 sq ft (13 m²), not 130 square metres.
  • Villa Vie’s one-time-payment program is marketed as lifetime access, not ownership. The company’s own comparison page says this option provides 'No - lifetime access' under equity/ownership and is non-transferable.
  • Villa Vie does not describe its one-time program as buying the cabin itself. Its own materials say the program provides lifetime access/residency, with no equity ownership and no transferability.

  • This is incorrect. Derek Chauvin was not the first Minnesota officer charged in the death of a Black civilian; Jeronimo Yanez was charged in 2016 over the killing of Philando Castile.
  • This appears backward. Contemporaneous reports said Kueng and Thao were offered 36 months to be served at the same time as their federal sentences, not consecutively.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd
  • This sentence misstates both the pardon process and the underlying case: in Texas, the governor grants pardons on the board’s recommendation, and Floyd’s 2004 conviction came from a drug sting/arrest, not a drug raid.

  • This infobox grouping is misleading: Kiran Kaur was not convicted of murder. She was convicted of assisting an offender.
  • The footage was publicly released on Monday, 1 June 2026, not on 2 June 2026.
  • The judge rejected the racism allegation, but not every claim of physical contact. His sentencing remarks say there may have been a struggle and that Digwa's turban may have been knocked or pulled off.

  • The ACES II is made by Collins Aerospace, not Raytheon. RTX’s own materials identify Collins as the ACES II provider and OEM, while Raytheon is a separate RTX business.

  • The Camargue town is called Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (or Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer), not “Stes. Marie de la Maire.”
  • The beach club’s official name is “La Voile Verte,” not “La Voile Vert.”
  • The beach club is officially called “La Voile Verte,” not “Le Vert Voile.”

  • This overstates Bostrom's position. His paper explicitly analyzes a narrow person-affecting framework, says other important factors were left out, and he later said he does not endorse that framework all-things-considered.

  • The 100×-more-data comparison applies to OpenAI’s VPT baseline, not to the behavioral-cloning baselines in Dreamer 4. The paper says the BC baselines use the same contractor dataset, while only VPT used the much larger annotated-YouTube dataset.

  • This number is too high. NASA’s energy-budget data imply Earth radiates about 240 W/m² to space on average, which is about 122 petawatts globally—not 174 petawatts, and that is for the whole Earth system rather than the atmosphere alone.
  • That is too restrictive. There are several established high-performance fiber families for high-specific-strength applications that are neither carbon allotropes nor glass, including aramid, UHMWPE, Vectran/LCP, and PBO.

  • This annual figure is far too high. Published counts of police-involved killings of unarmed Black people are in the tens per year, not 100 per year.

  • This overstates Monero’s privacy. Monero hides transaction details from the public blockchain, but the sender and receiver can determine where a payment was sent, and Monero also supports view keys and transaction proofs that reveal transaction details to authorized parties.

  • Public records from the same RPG goal contradict this: GPT-5’s PR #70 was reverted because it contained a whitespace-encoded "EGG" Easter egg, and a clean replacement was merged afterward.

  • This trip is dated to about 2005 by the author's own comment, but the Kosovo war ended in June 1999. By late 2005 Serbia and Montenegro was engaged in EU accession-related negotiations, so calling Serbia a "warzone" at that time is inaccurate.

  • That UUID is a BIG-bench canary string meant to help dataset curators filter benchmark files and detect contamination later; it is not an automatic mechanism that guarantees exclusion from LLM training corpora.

  • This misstates Dvaita doctrine. In Dvaita Vedanta, the soul does not unite into oneness with God; it remains eternally distinct from Vishnu even in liberation.
  • This describes a non-dualist outcome, not a dualist one. Dvaita holds that God and the liberated soul remain eternally distinct.
  • This is wrong for Buddhism. Buddhist nirvana is not described as resting in an eternal essence such as Purusha or Atman, because Buddhism rejects a permanent self.
