BreadPants··on DNA Tests Are Uncovering the True Prevalence of Incest
Not all, but much of western society, definitely :)
BreadPants··on Are roads the biggest driver of ecological destruction?
No. That would be monoculture farming.
BreadPants··on Tinnitus linked to undetected auditory nerve damage
You're on the right track
BreadPants··on Tinnitus linked to undetected auditory nerve damage
It doesn't. If you have tinnitus caused by any one or more of the other issues, you likely have sleep apnea on top of it.

Enlarged tonsils themselves are indicative of poor nasal breathing. If you have them completely removed you'll suffer from greatly reduced immune response. You have a fighting chance with intracapsular. Palate expansion through a good Ortho is still probably way better.

BreadPants··on Tinnitus linked to undetected auditory nerve damage
Lemme guess, somewhat narrow palate, slightly recessed jaw. Unable to breathe exclusively through the nose during high intensity workout. Possible indications of sleep apnea.

If they're detecting nerve damage, it's happening from nerve compression. Tinnitus being a manifestation of the compressed nerve.

I would bet money rapid palatal expansion with a proper midpalatal suture split would cure you.

BreadPants··on Cleveland launches plan to provide cheap broadband
I remember that and did contact Everstream for internet service. It was 1000/1000, but they wanted $500 for running the lines from across the street and then $500 per month after that. Insane.
BreadPants··on High-Resolution Lidar Images of Rivers and Deltas
Seems to support Randall Carlson's remarks of under set rivers.
BreadPants··on My Caste
This is where the secondary meaning of caste plays a role, which would be just your last name. A caste is your lineage.

In Indian history, certain groups/clans/families were associated with certain jobs. How close those jobs were to the throne or to the Mandir determined your 'rank'.

Fun fact, this is why the last name Singh exists, as a rejection of that system.

BreadPants··on How was the size of Earth first measured? (2015)
Technically we don't know how it was first measured and probably never will. The earliest evidence of the Earth's measurements is the Pyramids and good luck finding out how those were built.
BreadPants··on Ask HN: If we train an LLM with “data” instead of “language” tokens
How about a multi-headed approach. LDMs specializing in certain data operating under one LLM that acts as our point of access?
