  • In a symmetric two-rope hammock, symmetry makes the two rope tensions equal, but not equal to half the weight unless the ropes are vertical. With angled ropes, each side provides only a vertical component of its tension, so the pull can be greater than 50 kg-equivalent.
  • A hammock supported by two angled ropes does not generally require only half the force to lift the person. Because your pull is along the rope, the needed force depends on rope angle and is only half the weight if the rope segment is vertical.

  • This is not Schmidhuber's published definition of the speed prior. The speed prior is defined via a resource-bounded semimeasure based on the fastest way of computing data, not by the simple formula 2^(-(L+N)).

  • Das angegebene Jahr ist falsch. Offizielle Seiten der Stadt Pisa datieren die erste durch Setzungen verursachte Unterbrechung und erkennbare Neigung auf etwa 1178, nicht 1185.
  • Der Durchmesser ist zu klein angegeben. Die offizielle Website der Opera della Primaziale Pisana nennt für den Turm einen Außendurchmesser von 15 Metern.
  • Die Besuchsdauer ist veraltet bzw. falsch angegeben. Die offizielle Ticket-Information des Betreibers nennt für den Turmbesuch eine Dauer von etwa 30 Minuten.

  • This sentence misplaces several settlements. Timure, Dhunche, and Syafru/Syafrubesi are in Rasuwa district, not Nuwakot.
  • The 933 figure refers to missing workers across multiple hydropower projects, not to workers at Upper Trishuli-3A alone. Reporting on Upper Trishuli-3A put the number there at only dozens.
  • This misstates the NDRRMA’s 2 September figures. A 2 September summary of the NDRRMA update reported 1,204 bodies recovered and about 4,216 people out of contact, not 4,858 missing.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_index
  • In database systems, a cluster is not a join of multiple databases and tables. It is a storage/schema object that groups one or more tables together physically by a shared cluster key.
  • Creating a table does not automatically create a primary index in general. Official database docs say indexes are created automatically only for specific constraints such as PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE, not merely because a table was created.
