• 01:4801:48, 6 December 2023 diff hist −9 ChatGPT →Law: changed present tense to past tense. present tense is risky, as it will be wrong as soon as facts change. Tag: Visual edit
• 01:4501:45, 6 December 2023 diff hist +47 ChatGPT →Software developer support: clarifies pricing; no large change to factual content. Tag: Visual edit
• 01:4001:40, 6 December 2023 diff hist −54 ChatGPT →Features: Correcting factual error. OpenAI moderation API cannot and does not measure sexism / racism of prompts. See: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/moderation (Possible conflict of interest: I work at OpenAI) Tag: Visual edit
• 01:3701:37, 6 December 2023 diff hist −452 ChatGPT →Training: Correcting a factual error. The articles cited estimated # of GPUs using A100 GPUs, and cited a cost of 10k-15k, but the estimated cost parenthetical was incorrectly using the H100 GPU, which was inconsistent with the original source. (Possible conflict of interest: I am a ChatGPT engineer.) Tag: Visual edit

• 21:5721:57, 7 October 2022 diff hist +23 Herpes →Signs and symptoms: Fixed ambiguous/incorrect information after consulting with medical experts at WikiDoc. HSV can still infect second sites; it's just that the odds are lower. Tag: Visual edit

• 05:2805:28, 29 September 2022 diff hist +1,025 Talk:Herpes →Possible error about HSV reinfections: new section Tag: New topic
• 05:2305:23, 29 September 2022 diff hist +5 Herpes →Signs and symptoms: The NHS seems to say that reinfection of the eye *is* possible (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/herpes-simplex-eye-infections/?fbclid=IwAR0upARMKw2yL34Vrkj2VcbxQ1ospEuKWFoK1hL2Fz6ASm0I_XSKd61ULSo). My interpretation is that the "prevents" used in this sentence is different than "prevents 100%". To clarify the ambiguity, I'm changing to "helps prevent." Let me know if any issues.

• 05:4305:43, 28 September 2022 diff hist +189 Immersion lithography Found an earlier source for immersion lithography in 1984. Tag: Visual edit
• 05:2505:25, 28 September 2022 diff hist −4 Immersion lithography The source is from the early 2000s, not the late 80s. No idea why this sentence said "Same year" but appears flatly wrong. Tag: Visual edit
• 05:0405:04, 28 September 2022 diff hist +455 Strained silicon →History: I found a paper from 1992 that discusses using germanium to strain silicon for field-effect transistors. It cites 4 or 5 other papers also from 1991/1992. This source contradicts appears to contract the prior claim of the article that the idea was invented in 2000. Tag: Visual edit

6 September 2021

• 19:1219:12, 6 September 2021 diff hist +1,696 Duck curve →Solar power: Added a section with a common misconception that I've seen repeated around the internet for years. Added some good sources, but left uncited the claim that it's common. If anyone feels it's too much of a stretch, let me know and we can rework it. Tag: Visual edit
• 18:3618:36, 6 September 2021 diff hist +3 m Duck curve →Solar power: No source for "most energy markets" so editing to say "some". Also clarifying daily peak vs peak over other timescales. Will add a new section to expand on this point. Tag: Visual edit

• 03:1603:16, 15 June 2018 diff hist 0 Waymo →Commercialization: Sergey Brin said you could the number of years on one hand. That off-hand comment is the basis for the 2017 prediction. It was not specific. Tag: Visual edit

9 June 2018

• 17:2317:23, 9 June 2018 diff hist −217 Friendly fire →Technological fixes: Sentence felt misleading. It used present tense but was sourced by an article from 27 years ago. Feel free to revert if you think better. Tag: Visual edit

27 April 2018

• 07:0007:00, 27 April 2018 diff hist +29 Passenger vehicles in the United States Source #2 did not support the claim. Statista's 263M vehicles is ALL vehicles, not just passenger vehicles. Rewrote sentence to be factually correct, but feel free to re-word. Tag: Visual edit

• 05:3105:31, 31 March 2018 diff hist +901 Tesla Autopilot →Serious crashes: Added two sentences and two citations about last week's fatal crash in Mountain View, CA, USA Tag: Visual edit
• 05:0305:03, 31 March 2018 diff hist +121 Tesla Autopilot →Serious crashes: Sentence claimed that billions of miles would be needed for statistical significance. This is only true is one direction - the case where Autopilot is safer. If Autopilot is more dangerous, then many fewer miles will be needed. Feel free to reword, but the point is important to include, in my opinion. Tag: Visual edit
• 04:5904:59, 31 March 2018 diff hist −209 Tesla Autopilot →Serious crashes: No citation for claim that statisticians say a statistical comparison is meaningless. (In my personal opinion, it is not meaningless, even if it is imperfect) Removed sentence. Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

• 21:0921:09, 3 March 2018 diff hist 0 Progress in artificial intelligence →Optimal: Not sure why Connect Four solve date was 1998. The actual year is 1988. Small chance I'm misinterpreting what these dates mean, but think that a transcription error is more likely. Tag: Visual edit

16 May 2016

• 04:0704:07, 16 May 2016 diff hist −570 Industrial Age →Characteristics: Took out a paragraph that seemed both factually incorrect and little off-topic. OurWorldInData.org is a good source that shows how extreme poverty has vastly declined.

5 May 2016

• 21:5921:59, 5 May 2016 diff hist +9 m Metal Replaced "thus" with "in this sense" for clarity. The way "thus" was being used, the text was making a stronger claim than I suspect it meant to.

• 17:2617:26, 10 April 2016 diff hist +37 ENIAC →Components: Added clause to emphasize that the component counts are for 1955, not the time of its construction. It had been upgraded a number of times over its operating lifespan.
