  • This is incorrect: GPT-3 and Falcon use GELU-family activations in their feed-forward layers, not plain ReLU.
  • This overstates what smooth activations like GELU and Swish preserve. They do not keep ReLU’s hard-zeroing behavior for low or negative inputs.
  • The year is incorrect. PReLU was introduced in a 2015 paper, not 2016.

  • The DreamWorks pitch contest that launched Turbo was not in 2009. Multiple contemporaneous interviews in 2013 said David Soren pitched the idea about 10 years earlier, around 2003.

  • The CineEurope premiere date is wrong. CineEurope 2013 ran in late June, and contemporaneous coverage placed Turbo's Barcelona world premiere on June 25, 2013, not May 20.
  • This world-premiere date is incorrect. CineEurope 2013 took place June 24–27 in Barcelona, and contemporaneous coverage placed Turbo's world premiere there on June 25, 2013.
  • This CineEurope release date is incorrect. CineEurope 2013 was held in late June, and contemporaneous reporting placed Turbo's Barcelona premiere on June 25, 2013.

  • This sentence conflates two different things. Square Pictures did produce another film project after The Spirits Within, and Square Enix describes Visual Works as a separate division, not as Square Pictures under a new name.

  • This overstates the evidence. Recent systematic reviews of randomized trials find that exercise does reduce depressive symptoms on average, even after accounting for bias concerns.
