staplar··on How to Do Great Work (2023)
I mostly use Safari Listen feature, on my phone, to listen to it while walking. Pretty neat and doesn’t clutter my YouTube history.
staplar··on London–Calcutta bus service
They should avoid Pakistan if they can, not Afghanistan. It’s in relative peace while the border region of Iran/Pakistan see regular fighting between Pakistani forces and Baluch separatists[1].

staplar··on Ads chew through half of mobile data
Ads are ok if they’re fixated on a page and aren’t intrusive but holy crap, some sites just takes to other sites when you click something and then when you come back it’s not the same page so you got to go back again and the cycle resets. I can’t imagine places where internet is super expensive and you deal with daily

staplar··on Launch HN: Retell AI (YC W24) – Conversational Speech API for Your LLM
They're most likely have two "agents" working in tandem to listen and speak, and it seems like the listener takes precedence over the speaker agent but underneath they share the same context window. Programming wise, probably using multithreading and channels architecture, depending on the programming language.

staplar··on Technology of water in ancient Iran from prehistory to the Islamic Golden Age
Iran is a treasure trove of knowledge and culture, of various people. I kind of don’t blame their current rulers on some issues, especially when both of your neighbours were invaded and occupied by modern imperialist.

He wasn’t Persian. This is a daylight robbery from the people of Central Asia. Look at his last name. Khwarazm is in Central Asia and it has no ethnic Persians(ethnic Tajiks don’t count).

Iran isn’t Persian only and that distinction needs to be always made. Persian as a language has been used by various people to do science and literature in, and same goes for Arabic, but they were majority neither Arabs nor Persian by ethnicity.
staplar··on Afghan earthquake: At least 1k people killed and 1,500 injured
Most of these deaths could've been avoided if Afghanistan wasn't crippled by sanctions, by the West. Hospitals are barren, air support non-existing and food scarcity, all because the West was humiliated by "cavemen". I'm saying all that being an Afghan who detest Taliban and will probably be killed because of atheism/my sexuality, I would still support them over Western installed puppets, at least our hospitals and weddings won't get dronned. #ReleaseAfghanFunds
