Most simple regression models assume that the X variable is fixed by the experimenter and has no error associated with it, only the Y variable has random error, so all residual errors are vertical deviation from the trend line. As a result, the line is tilted to be ‘flatter’ than the main axis of the data.
In reality, the X variable often has just as much error/uncertainty as the Y variable, and the residuals should be perpendicular to the trend line.
One regression that allows for that is Major Axis Regression.

The fact that there are very few fossils of soft bodied creatures kinda misses the point.
All the evolutionary diversity of molluscs is still alive. Squids, nautiluses, cuttlefish, snails slugs.
What’s the hypothesis here? An alien meteorite landed with 800 types of cephalopod, that just by chance share 97% of their DNA with slugs and snails that already existed on Earth?
Anyone who gives a LLM that level of access deserves what they get, but clearly the AI comments he posted have been prompted to sound like a confession.

I think we are supposed to think about Gatsby the same way the narrator, Nick, thinks about Gatsby.
A great man, a true romantic, but not one suited to this corrupt, fallible world. His relationship to Daisy was a bit more complex than just stalking, she did love him, she just wasn't capable of leaving Tom.
"No— Gatsby turned out all right at the end. It is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men"
Was it a payphone?
