Wisdom I Pondered This Week
- “Happiness is not the absence of problems, it’s the ability to deal with them.” — Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
- “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” — Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night
- “A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest people.” — Roald Dahl
- “Waking up to who you are requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be.” — Alan Watts
- “To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.” — G.K. Chesterton
Things I Learned This Week
- 黃豆粕（ㄆㄛˋ） 是黃豆榨油後留下的副產物（豆渣），經脫脂與乾燥形成高蛋白粉，脂肪含量低、蛋白質濃度高。
- The Omega Point, proposed by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, is a vision of the universe evolving toward a final state of maximum complexity, consciousness, and unity, where all intelligence converges into an ultimate form often interpreted as divine. Teilhard argues that evolution is not random but directed, progressing from matter → life → mind → a global noosphere (智慧圈/人類圈) → the Omega Point. Though widely debated and scientifically controversial, the concept remains influential in discussions of spirituality, cosmology, and the future of intelligence.
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard that defines how AI models securely access external tools, data, and services through a unified client–server architecture, enabling LLMs to “plug into” systems like databases, APIs, file stores, or enterprise apps. (就像「萬國轉接插頭」)
- 蛋塔效應（Portuguese Egg Tart Effect） 指一種「短期爆紅 + 盲目擴張 + 市場崩解」的循環現象：某產品或趨勢因快速爆紅而吸引大量跟風投入，使供給短期內急速膨脹，最終因需求退燒而迅速泡沫化，造成倒閉潮；僅有具差異化與實力的業者能存活。
- 藍氨（Blue Ammonia） 是利用化石燃料製氨時，透過 CCUS（Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage）捕捉並封存碳排的低碳氨，被視為能源轉型的過渡方案。藍氨既能作為清潔燃料，也能作為氫的載體，在電力、航運與高能耗產業中具有潛力。台積電（TSMC）已開始在其晶圓廠導入藍氨，要求上游供應鏈以低碳方式生產液氨，藉此降低氨水製程化學品的供應鏈碳足跡，初期即可減少約 60–70% 的相關排放，成為半導體業從化學品源頭推動減碳的重要案例。
