Reliable Install, native share, background tasks, etc

mumer101··on Ask HN: How close are we to replace animal models with software?
It would be replaced by organoids, but in certain cases it can't be given biology might even have quantum physics in the cards
mumer101··on Ask HN: Must-Read Books for Startups?
Yes and the book is like 800 pages
mumer101··on Ask HN: Must-Read Books for Startups?
I read it very long ago. However, my feeling was that it's for VC funded companies and only companies who are looking to become a billion dollars corporation whereas personally, I would have been happy with the multi-million business
mumer101··on Ask HN: Must-Read Books for Startups?
It's a bit outdated but still very Relevant
mumer101··on Ask HN: Must-Read Books for Startups?
It's good to get a mindset but it's not enough on its own. It doesn't offer practical guidance
mumer101··on Ask HN: Must-Read Books for Startups?
Probably the worst advice in the whole thread
mumer101··on Ask HN: How to do that you need to do but not motivated at all?
there was a book with similar idea.. i think 5 second rule?
mumer101··on Ask HN: An article that talked about how education destroys discipline?
is there a movie or audiobook on it
mumer101··on Ask HN: How to do that you need to do but not motivated at all?
yep in another words semantics...
mumer101··on Ask HN: How to do that you need to do but not motivated at all?
another thing i'm looking to implement is getting into habit of forced submission of self to my will. I witnessed it in religious context, but the idea is that daily suppression of small desires, and performing small "work" like tasks increases self control. There is a cultural equivalent of this called dopmaine fast. Which is similar to fasting religiously.
mumer101··on Ask HN: How to do that you need to do but not motivated at all?
that didn't answer the question though, what exactly?
mumer101··on Ask HN: How to do that you need to do but not motivated at all?
i hear this over and over, but It just feels like semantics... question just shifts from how to be motivated to how to be disciplined?
mumer101··on Ask HN: How to do that you need to do but not motivated at all?
this is big for me "preload rewards (if you're not motivated by rewards) so that you'll have dopamine immediately available"
mumer101··on Ask HN: How to do that you need to do but not motivated at all?
I shall make fart sounds app

something i consider to be a case to, from previous comment:

I have this suspicion that often people who thrive at "school" suck at doing things, their whole life they are getting programmed to: a) do things for an quick and clear reward

b) always be in extremely well defined rules (when semester starts you see how people obsess over edge cases and their impact on grade with a professor)

c) always do it for pleasing someone else and get their admiration (teachers, parents, peers, etc)

d) only be motivated by fear

In a way the better you adapt to that system the more 'slave' minded you become and only do what is asked, when rewarded, given clear instructions and a threat of leashes is near. Often Top students in HS end up mediocre at college and life.

Lack of motivation plagues them all life as they have no clear guidelines, external threats, or third person providing validation.

if you asked 16 years old me why are you studying so hard, the lie would be the whole story so i can do get into college get a job etc... truth would have been so i can look good and be admired

no people had good understanding, or consistent explanations. Thunder = angry God. Sickness/diseases natural things but curable with leaves and herbs sometimes. Rain another natural gift from God. Also you seek answers to question that are new, not something you grew up with. Did you when woke up question why air is less dense than water? No! Does it bother you why sunlight is so bright? no it's just a matter of fact.
