So true. I have been vitamin-C deficient the past 20 years and my skin has definitely degraded.

> the past 20 years

That's called aging.

Asking your ear doctor seems like a good idea for this, rather than random people on HN..

Do you want to be my ENT?

Aside: Amusingly, somewhere at Anthropic, there is a very happy, perky person who engineered Claude to respond 'Perfect!' to everything it does :)

They say 'leftward sleeping position would provide a fast left visual field', while showing a cat sleeping on its left side, with its right eye having the best view (left eye with a bad view).

Clearly, there is a contradiction. What's mystifying is that the authors seemingly spent lots of time on this exact directionality concept, yet put this contradiction in.

The way I understand it, they say that animals react better to danger coming from the left side, because the left visual field (of both eyes) is processed by the right hemisphere, which is dominant for threat processing and spatial attention. So, for the cat sleeping on the left side the danger will probably come from the left side of its visual field, while for cat sleeping on the right side it would come from the right side of the visual field. Therefore, sleeping on the left side is better, because the cat will react faster to something coming towards it.

Look at this picture to see how the image from both eyes is processed:

(this is for human visual system, but it's the same for a cat I guess?)

The important thing is not the left/right eye, but the left/right side of both eyes.

That clears it up immensely, appreciate it.

Maybe they never intended for a broad audience, but the paper would be way more accessible if they had included a description like you have here. It was a frustrating read about a well-liked subject, I'm sure I'm not the only one that felt that way.

Not a biologist, but my understanding is that the temporal part of the right eye (the part of the right eye closest to the temple and furthest from the nose) is responsible for processing the inner part of the left visual field, and is directly connected to the right hemisphere (no cross-over required).

As mentioned before, this study is clearly funded by Big Cat to distract and confuse Big Mouse.

That's what Big Dog, Big Coyote, Big Racoon, and Big Wolf want you to focus on Big Mouse.

Leathery makes more sense than feathers– imagine how much body heat you'd generate if you were 15K lbs (t-rex). You'd want to get rid of as much heat as possible, rather than putting on a thick sweater, or you'd overheat and die.

Yes. An Elephant would make a good example.

This same story plays out with every monopoly platform e.g. Apple.

Basically, you are likely in competition with something they are making, or are otherwise bad for business. The specific policy violation they choose doesn't matter– you are getting dicked down because they want it to be so.

discord ain't a monopoly in any relevant sense of the word

It's hilarious for a second before I switch models when it goes:

'Perfect! I am now done with the totally zany solution that makes no sense, here it is!'

'Oh, no thanks! I am good with one beer!'

What's the significance of whether GPT was used here?

none. But I feel it should be mentioned.

Lol thanks for the correction! like I said... it had been 20 years.. I misremembered the amounts :P
