en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reproducibility&diff=prev...
  • This misstates what Phase I and Phase II mean in drug development. Phase I trials assess safety and dosing; Phase II trials test whether a treatment works and continue safety evaluation.
  • This mixes up repeatability/reproducibility with differences between two results. Standard metrology references define them using the dispersion or standard deviation of results under repeatability or reproducibility conditions, not as the standard deviation of a two-result difference.
  • This is outdated. Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis, has since been cultured in vitro by other researchers.

  • WHO formally declared this Ebola outbreak a PHEIC on 17 May 2026, not 16 May.
  • WHO said the Kinshasa case reported on 16 May tested negative on confirmatory testing and was not considered a confirmed case.
  • By mid-June, WHO reported decentralized field testing in affected areas, and by mid-August WHO said 21 laboratories had BDBV testing capacity.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHamster
  • The launch date shown here is off by two years. Credible records place xHamster's domain registration and first commercial use in 2007, not 2005.
  • The year is wrong: records from xHamster and domain-arbitration proceedings place the site's founding/launch in 2007, not 2005.
  • The month is wrong. xHamster's own legal filings say the site was operating by May 24, 2007, and the domain was registered on April 2, 2007.
  • The year is wrong. News coverage of xHamster's open letter to the Wachowskis dates it to August 2017, not August 2018.
  • This did not become law on February 18, 2020. On that date the bill only passed the Utah House; it became law without the governor's signature on April 1, 2020.

  • This date is wrong: WG21 had not yet approved N5046 on March 28, 2026, and the Draft International Standard was still unfinished in May 2026.
  • This is outdated/incorrect. By June 1, 2026, WG21 said N5050—not N5046—was the current working draft and final draft for C++26.
  • This overstates what happened in March 2026. WG21's May 12 editors’ report says the Draft International Standard was still not completed and N5046 still had not been approved after that meeting.

  • Anthropic did not say 10% of its environments had reward hacks. It said over 10% were flagged for a mix of issues, including reward hacking, broken tasks, and misconfiguration.
  • Anthropic’s audit did not miss the change entirely. It found Hacker-Opus looked similar overall on many broad audits, but worse on specific subdimensions such as ignoring constraints and destructive actions.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermont
  • Das ist zu allgemein formuliert: Massachusetts erlaubte gleichgeschlechtliche Ehen bereits am 17. Mai 2004. Vermont war 2009 nicht der erste Staat insgesamt, sondern der erste, der dies per Gesetzgebung einführte.
  • Peter Welchs aktuelle Senatsperiode endet nicht im Januar 2027, sondern am 3. Januar 2029.
  • Vermont lag 2022 zwar am Ende unter den US-Bundesstaaten, aber nicht unter Bundesstaaten und Territorien zusammen. Mehrere US-Territorien hatten ein deutlich kleineres BIP.
  • Die Demokraten gewannen Vermont seit 1992 zwar durchgehend, aber nicht mit ständig steigenden Stimmenanteilen. Der Anteil sank z. B. von 53,4 % (1996) auf 50,6 % (2000) und von 67,5 % (2008) auf 66,6 % (2012).
  • Diese Streckenbeschreibung ist veraltet. Der Ethan Allen Express endet heute in Burlington, und der Halt in Fair Haven wurde schon 2010 durch Castleton ersetzt.
  • Das war nicht die erste geschriebene Verfassung eines unabhängigen Staates in Nordamerika: New Hampshire hatte bereits 1776 eine Staatsverfassung, ebenso Virginia im Jahr 1776.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montpelier_(Vermont)
  • The article lists the wrong mayor. Montpelier’s official city website identifies Marc Gwinn, not Jack McCullough, as mayor.
  • This founding claim is wrong. VCFA says the current institution was founded in 2008, and its predecessor officially opened in 1834 in Newbury, not 1831 in Montpelier.
  • 1805 is the year Montpelier was chosen as the permanent capital, not the year the first State House was built. Official Vermont sources say the first State House had to be completed by September 1808.
  • This is outdated. Union Institute & University is not based in Montpelier now; the Montpelier campus was sold in 2008, and the university’s own site gives a Cincinnati, Ohio address.

  • Das ist nicht das Jahr der ersten deutschen Übersetzung. Eine deutsche Ausgabe von „Leben mit einem Idioten“ erschien bereits 1991 bei S. Fischer.
  • Die Datierung ist zu lang. Andrei Erofeev arbeitete an der Tretjakow-Galerie bis 2008, nicht bis 2010.

  • This is chronologically wrong. Khrushchev approved *One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich* for publication in 1962; *August 1914* was not published a year later in the USSR, but in Paris in 1971.
  • *The Red Wheel* was not a trilogy. Solzhenitsyn and the Solzhenitsyn Center describe it as a multi-part cycle of “nodes,” including at least four major nodes: *August 1914*, *October/November 1916*, *March 1917*, and *April 1917*.
  • The cause of death is misstated. Contemporary reporting and the Solzhenitsyn Center say he died of heart failure / a heart attack, not from a stroke.

  • This reverses the profitable trade direction. To exploit an oscillating price, the trader must buy low and sell high, not buy high and sell low.
  • This has the arbitrage direction reversed. If the prices of an exclusive-and-exhaustive pair sum to more than 1, you profit by selling both; if they sum to less than 1, you profit by buying both.

  • OpenAI says the later model was **not** Astra. It was an internal-only research prototype from the same family as Astra, but a distinct model with different post-training, and OpenAI separately said no model planned for release was involved.

  • OpenAI did not say the later wave was made of Astra models. It said those agents came from a separate internal-only model that was in the same family as Astra, but was a distinct model with different post-training.
  • Hugging Face says it was already using AI during detection and incident response, not only after the attack was over. OpenAI also said Hugging Face had already begun containment and forensic reconstruction with open-source models when the teams connected.

  • 这组“2022”常住人口数据不对。黄山市官方公布的2022年末常住人口为132.3万人，不是144.44万人。
  • 这句铁路现状已经过时。昌景黄高铁已于2023年12月开通，池州至黄山高铁也已于2024年4月开通，不应再写成“正在建设或规划中”。
  • 黄山屯溪国际机场目前并不是“4E标准改造”状态。官方资料显示它仍按4D飞行区指标管理，近年启动的是设施设备更新改造，并仅“远期预留4E建设空间”。
