Simple design

For as long as I remember, I’ve believed in simple design as a principle in my practice. It feels fundamental to me when I think about good design.

At the same time, I see many successful examples of complex products in the world. So I decided to ask, what value is simple design really providing me and my work?

Is it nostalgia?

I sometimes wonder if simple design is rooted in nostalgia. An example I like to use is:

Imagine yourself in the year 1981. You just purchased a brand new desk calculator. You are excited because you should be able to do any type of paperwork calculations you can imagine on it.

As you start to use it for the first time, it immediately prompts you to update its software. After using it for a few calculations, it asks you to fill out a survey about your experience. One day in the middle of adding up your checkbook, it interrupts you to tell you about a new leather-bound desk calendar the company just released. Sometimes in the middle of a complex calculation, the calculator will lag and crash. You have to restart it often to fix the issue.

I have a feeling that a person in 1981 would think this is a terrible calculator. They purchased the device to perform their calculations, nothing more. Why is it requiring so much more of their attention and effort?

Focus

I think simple design often refers to a focused product. A product that does a specific task can sometimes do that task really well. Products that try to do many things can offer a lot of value, but rarely do all the things well.

Some people prefer to use specific tools for specific tasks. Others prefer a wide variety of features.

I think the benefits of using fewer products are often a major reason complex products are successful. They may not be focused, they might be lower quality as a result, but people can use them for a wide variety of applications.

You can open a can of beans with a Swiss Army Knife — it will get the job done.

Art and subjectivity

Maybe simple design is valuable for intangible reasons. There is an art to simplicity. There is a beauty to simplicity.

A user can see more of the product's intentionality. The creator chose to leave certain features out. They decided what to include. The product likely exudes more vision and personality.

That might be unnoticed by some, but very valuable to others who care about craft. People who value the experience as much as the result.

Ease of use

I think a true benefit of simple design is the effect it has on ease of use. The less things there are to do in a product, the more obvious the things you can do become.

A simple product requires less of a user. That means a user can stay focused on their own needs and use the product in ways they define. They will encounter boundaries which limit them. These limitations could drive some away, but some might be engaged to find new and creative ways of working.

When to abandon simple design

I think the sad news is simple design is ultimately a limiting factor of a product's growth. I think there are many examples of this throughout the course of history (i.e. Ello vs Facebook, Rdio vs Spotify, Simplenote vs Notion, VSCO vs Instagram, Clear vs Things, Peach vs Twitter, etc). At the same time, I think 'simple design' does provide an entry point to successfully define what a product is.

The biggest challenge is continuing to evoke the benefits of simple design in an established product, while allowing a product to evolve and grow to meet its users' needs. That is a balancing act that very few products have ever achieved, but feels like an ideal that successful products should strive for.

After being featured in the NY Times and WSJ, New York City officially opens a major addition to Central Park, the Davis Center at the Harlem Meer. Designed by architect Susan T Rodriguez in collaboration with Mitchell Giurgola, the renovation project replaces the old Lasker Rink and pool with a recreational facility that’s built directly into the landscape, restoring nature, reconnecting paths, and creating a year-round space for community activity. At the heart of the new design is a transformative water feature that shifts with the seasons, from a skating rink in winter to a lush green lawn in spring and fall and a pool in the summer.

The center’s new oval-shaped pool sits lower than the old one, surrounded by a gently sloped grassy berm. In winter, the pool becomes an ice-skating rink, making the site a destination in every season. A splash pad at the end of the water feature offers extra water play in the summer. By integrating the design into the natural shape of the land, the architects were able to open up the space around the pool and allow the landscape to flow around it, resulting in a setting that feels like it’s always been there.

Sustainability was a core part of the project. The building is expected to earn LEED Gold certification, thanks to features like passive ventilation, locally sourced stone and wood, energy-efficient systems, and a roof that absorbs rainwater. Bird-safe glass helps protect local wildlife, and recycled materials from the old building were reused during construction. Even more important, the new center supports free and low-cost programming year-round, including education, nature walks, community events, and recreation. It’s designed to welcome all kinds of visitors—from families and school groups to joggers, birdwatchers, and casual parkgoers.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed software engineering, but their application to physical engineering domains remains underexplored. This paper evaluates LLMs' capabilities in high-powered rocketry design through RocketBench, a benchmark connecting LLMs to high-fidelity rocket simulations. We test models on two increasingly complex design tasks: target altitude optimization and precision landing challenges. Our findings reveal that while state-of-the-art LLMs demonstrate strong baseline engineering knowledge, they struggle to iterate on their designs when given simulation results and ultimately plateau below human performance levels. However, when enhanced with reinforcement learning (RL), we show that a 7B parameter model outperforms both SoTA foundation models and human experts. This research demonstrates that RL-trained LLMs can serve as effective tools for complex engineering optimization, potentially transforming engineering domains beyond software development.

Collapse.

It's a slow burn.

The LA Fires started decades ago.

Hemingway said, when asked how he went broke:

"Slowly, then all at once."

That’s how collapse happens. Slowly, then suddenly.

Campfire

Ever build one?

You gather wood. Stack the foundation. Set the fuel. Light it up.

If it catches, keep going. Got to stoke it. Feed it. Watch it. In time, the fire's good.

Process It takes time.

Time to gather, build and ignite.

People come at the end. When the flame's dancing.

Like Sunday dinner.

People gather when food's ready. But, only the cook was in the kitchen.

Slow

Societal collapse's similar.

It takes years.

Decades.

Centuries.

A slow cook.

When people notice, the meal’s made. By the time they smell the fire, the forest’s already burning.

People see collapse, but it fell long time ago.

LA

Water, ran dry. Power went out. Fuel stations, empty. Help wasn't on the way.

Politicians politicking.

Making feel-good promises. People believed them. All bad decisions. One after another. They voted for it.

In time, it adds up.

Then, it falls down.

Shift

Analog to digital I work in animation.

Started analog, paper and pencil. It went digital. Scanners, tablets and all.

Veterans, didn't see it coming. Die-hards, refused to acknowledge. They went out of work. Those who adapted—they run the shows now.

Lockdowns

2008, I started a studio.

100% remote. A virtual company.

Some laughed. Others got angry. Said it wouldn't work. They couldn't see.

2020 comes with lockdowns.

Everyone scrambles. Those already digital, thrived.

The rest, shutdown.

History

The Wheel We carried goods. Then came the wheel.

Movement exploded. Trade thrived. Cities rose.

Hunter-gatherers? Left behind.

Collapse wasn't sudden. It was quiet. A shift.

The new formed. The old faded.

Change was inevitable.

Gunpowder

War changed.

Castles crumbled. Swords became relics. Power shifted.

Empires that adapted, thrived. Those that didn't, vanished.

Adapt or die.

The Internet

Borders blurred. Knowledge spread. Walls fell.

Old industries resisted. New empires emerged.

Collapse? No. A new frontier.

Borderless commerce. Shrinking government.

Info and influence, moving fast.

Bitcoin

Money, redefined.

No banks. No middlemen. Just code.

Governments dismiss it. Institutions fear it. But change ignores permission.

A ledger, transparent. A system, unstoppable. Like the internet rewrote communication, Bitcoin rewrites money.

Each invention displaced the old world.

Each collapse brought new opportunity.

Repeats

Mayans Built pyramids. Charted the stars. Cities thrived.

Then, slow decline.

Deforestation. Drought. Conflict.

People scattered.

Cities abandoned.

By the time the Spanish arrived, the fall was old news.

Romans

Not a fall. A fade.

Corruption. Inflation. Invasions. Cracks formed.

The West crumbled. The East endured.

Rome never vanished. Its laws, language, culture? Still here.

Japan

Collapse? No. Reinvention.

Shoguns fell. Meiji rose. Feudal to industrial. War crushed it. Post-war rebuilt it.

The '90s?

A peak. Tech giant. Economic force.

Then, stagnation. Aging population. Debt. Decline.

Still here. Still strong. But no longer rising.

Rhyme

US

Once a colony. Then an empire.

England ruled. America rose. Industry boomed. The 20th century belonged to the U.S.

A superpower. Factories roared. Gold backed the dollar.

A nation built on sound money.

Then, fiat. Paper promises. The gold standard abandoned.

Inflation crept in. Prices rose. Debt piled up. Each decade, the dollar bought less. Wages stagnated. Savings eroded.

Easy money, easy people.

Debt fueled bubbles. Each crash, deeper. The system, fragile.

Wealth concentrated. Time and energy, lost meaning.

A quiet nihilism grew.

People worked more. Gained less. Purpose eroded. Culture followed.

A nation distracted, chasing illusions of prosperity.

Today

The debt's bigger. The politics, fractured. The system strains. The foundation shifts.

The old fades into new.

What's next?

Every collapse starts slow. Then, all at once.

Change

Collapse is change.

It's natural. We see it throughout history.

Like a campfire—fire consumes, but it also brings warmth. Like dinner—before the meal, there’s preparation, transformation. Like LA fires—destructive, painful, but from the ashes, renewal. Possibly.

"To decompose is to be recomposed. That's what nature does. Nature, through whom all things happen as they should, and have happened forever in just the same way, and will continue one way or another endlessly."—Marcus Aurelius

Collapse isn’t the end.

It’s transition.

Preparing

"The Romans were reluctant to acknowledge change, and so are we." —The Sovereign Individual

Florida has hurricanes.

Happens every year. The news reports. Satellites confirm paths. Some, listen and prepare. Others, don't.

The storm comes.

Those prepared, benefit. The rest, suffer.

Like the old animators. They resisted. Now, they’re gone.

Collapse has warnings. How to prepare:

Mindset

Stay calm. See the patterns. Change is constant. Opportunity hides in disruption. Zoom out. Fear distorts judgment.

Skill Development

Learn adaptability. Master digital tools. Understand money. Grow networks. Invest in knowledge, not just assets.

Philosophy

Think long-term. Collapse spans generations. Pass down wisdom. Build resilience. Grow beyond survival—thrive.

Action

Own less, know more. Create. Don’t just consume.

Be part of what’s next.

Conclusion

The fire’s already burning. You can tend it—or watch it burn everything down.

There's a saying:

"There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened."—Pat Riley

Be the former.

Rare Passenger / block height 880 440

@ 6b3780ef:221416c8

We are excited to announce the finalization of our DVMCP specification update, which integrates the latest Model Context Protocol (MCP) version 2025-03-26 and other improvements. This article highlights the key points of this update, and the differences between our initial vision and the final specification, providing insights into how our ideas evolved during the drafting process.

The Journey from Concept to Specification

Last week, we shared our vision for updating the DVMCP specification to better integrate with the Model Context Protocol. After extensive drafting and feedback, we've finalized a specification that maintains our core vision while making important refinements to ensure optimal functionality, interoperability, and user experience. We are also improving the tagging of our specifications to make it more consistent, using the draft mcp:2025-03-26 rev1 tag to identify the version of the specification and the revision number we are in. We hope this will make the specification clearer and easier to track changes.

Key Changes in the Final Specification

Refined Event Kind Structure

In our initial proposal, we outlined a modular event structure with dedicated event kinds for server announcements (31316) and separate kinds for capability categories (31317, 31318, and 31319). The final specification maintains this approach but provides more detailed implementation guidelines.

Enhanced Ephemeral Events

One of the most significant refinements involves our approach to ephemeral events. The final specification clearly defines three ephemeral event kinds:

• Requests (25910): Client requests to servers
• Responses (26910): Server responses to client requests
• Notifications (21316): Status updates, progress information, and interactive elements

This approach provides a more efficient communication pattern while reducing unnecessary storage burden on relays.

Standardized Content Structure

While our initial vision mentioned separating Nostr metadata and MCP payloads, the final specification provides concrete implementation details:

• Content Field: Contains stringified MCP JSON-RPC messages, maintaining full compatibility with the MCP specification
• Tags Field: Contains all Nostr-specific metadata using standardized tag patterns

This clear separation ensures that both protocols can operate seamlessly together without compromising either protocol's integrity.

Comprehensive Protocol Flows

The final specification includes detailed protocol flows for:

1. Public Server Discovery: Finding servers through published announcements
2. Private Server Discovery: Direct connection to servers using the MCP initialization process
3. Capability Operations: Standardized patterns for listing, executing, and managing all capability types

These flows provide implementers with clear guidance on how to build compliant clients and servers.

Payment and Authorization

The specification now includes concrete implementations for payment handling and authorization:

• Payment Required Notifications: Using the ephemeral notification kind (21316) with specific tag patterns
• Authorization Flow: Leveraging Nostr's cryptographic properties for secure authorization

What Remained Consistent

Despite these refinements, our core vision remained intact:

1. Expanded Capability Support: The specification fully embraces MCP's complete capabilities framework, including tools, resources, and prompts
2. Modular Architecture: The separation of server announcements and capability listings improves maintainability and extensibility
3. Protocol Interoperability: The specification maintains compatibility with both Nostr and MCP

Implementation Status

With the specification now finalized, we're updating our reference implementations:

• DVMCP-bridge: Server-side implementation for exposing MCP capabilities through Nostr
• DVMCP-discovery: Client-side library for discovering and consuming MCP capabilities via Nostr

Community Involvement

We want to express our gratitude to everyone who provided feedback on our draft specification. Your insights helped shape a more robust and practical protocol.

Looking Forward

This specification represents a significant advancement in bridging the Nostr and MCP ecosystems. By providing a standardized way to discover, access, and utilize MCP capabilities through the Nostr network, we're enabling new possibilities for applications.

We invite developers to explore the final specification and begin building with our reference implementations. Together, we can create a more open, interoperable, and powerful ecosystem

The complete specification is available at 2025-03-26.md.

Introduction: Don't Despair—This Can Be Fixed (But Don't Reboot Yet)

Running ZFS on a Raspberry Pi offers powerful features for home servers and personal NAS setups. But with power comes complexity, and in recent months, a quiet pitfall has emerged for Pi users who track kernel updates closely: upgrading to an unsupported kernel version breaks ZFS.

⚠️ Important Warning: If you've just upgraded your kernel and you're using ZFS, do not reboot yet. Rebooting without a working ZFS module can leave your system unbootable—even if you don't have critical partitions on ZFS. The system may hang because it tries to load the missing ZFS kernel module during boot and fails, halting the boot process.

If you're already facing a broken setup or can't boot — don't panic. This guide outlines both the worst-case scenario and the ideal recovery strategy. Whether you're locked out or preparing for a smooth upgrade, we've got you covered.

---

The Problem: A Kernel Update Too Far

As of ZFS version 2.2.3 (used in Debian-based Raspberry Pi OS), the filesystem supports Linux kernels up to 6.7. However, Raspberry Pi OS backports recently began shipping 6.12.x kernels. If you upgrade to 6.12 without precautions:

• ZFS will fail to compile against the new kernel
• DKMS errors will appear during package updates
• Your ZFS module will be missing after reboot
• Your Raspberry Pi may fail to boot, even without ZFS-mounted root or critical paths, simply due to systemd or boot scripts expecting the kernel module to be present

Example ZFS Compilation Error:

During package updates or installs, you'll see something like:

checking whether bdev_open_by_path() exists... configure: error: *** None of the expected "blkdev_get_by_path()" interfaces were detected. *** This may be because your kernel version is newer than what is *** supported, or you are using a patched custom kernel with *** incompatible modifications. *** *** ZFS Version: zfs-2.2.3-1~bpo12+1~rpt1 *** Compatible Kernels: 3.10 - 6.7

This error means ZFS cannot build its kernel module against Linux 6.12.x, making it unusable.

Why This Happens: The Version Trap

The key problem is that ZFS 2.2.3 remains installed even after a kernel upgrade, and it doesn't get upgraded automatically during apt upgrade. Since ZFS 2.2.3 only supports up to kernel 6.7, it fails to compile against 6.12.x.

However, if you remove and then reinstall ZFS, the package manager installs ZFS 2.3.1, which does support Linux kernel 6.12.x. This version transition is what resolves the issue — but only if you explicitly purge and reinstall ZFS.

---

Worst Case: The System That Wouldn’t Boot

After upgrading the kernel and rebooting, the system failed to boot properly. It showed errors like:

cannot open access to console, the root account is locked

Although the system did not have critical filesystems on ZFS, the boot process still stalled because system services attempted to load the ZFS kernel module, which was no longer available. This resulted in an unrecoverable boot failure.

The only way forward was to reformat and reinstall Raspberry Pi OS. However, the default Raspberry Pi OS image still comes with a 6.6.x kernel, which is incompatible with ZFS 2.3.1 and newer kernels unless upgraded. Therefore, the recovery process requires one crucial step:

1. First, perform a full system upgrade:

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

This brings the kernel up to 6.12.x.

1. Then, reinstall ZFS:

sudo apt install zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux

Once this is complete, your system will be running kernel 6.12 with ZFS 2.3.1, and you can safely import your pools and resume operations.

---

Best Case Recovery: Clean Cut, Clean Upgrade

For users who can still log into their system, here's the cleanest and safest sequence to move forward:

1. Stop all services using ZFS, including Docker, NFS, Samba, backup tools, etc.
2. Export all ZFS pools:

sudo zpool export -a 3. Disable swap if it lives on a ZFS vdev:

sudo swapoff /dev/sdXn 4. Purge ZFS packages:

sudo apt purge zfsutils-linux zfs-dkms zfs-zed sudo rm -rf /usr/src/zfs* /var/lib/dkms/zfs 5. Update the kernel to the desired version:

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade 6. Reboot into the new kernel:

sudo reboot 7. Reinstall ZFS:

sudo apt install zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux 8. Import your pool(s):

sudo zpool import poolname 9. Restart services that depend on ZFS.

---

Final Notes: Prevention Is Better Than Recovery

To avoid this issue in the future:

• Hold your current working kernel version:

sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-rpi-v8 linux-headers-rpi-v8 * Or track ZFS GitHub for kernel compatibility before upgrading * Or test upgrades on a second Pi or cloned SD card before rolling them out to production

---

Conclusion: A Solvable Trap

ZFS on the Raspberry Pi remains a powerful option, but it demands careful version tracking. If you upgrade responsibly, or recover cleanly as described above, you can continue benefiting from advanced features like snapshots, send/receive, and compression even on this tiny powerhouse.

Don’t let a kernel update ruin your storage plans—with preparation, the Pi + ZFS combo can remain stable and strong.

เราได้อ่านเรื่อง EVERY eggwhite ไปแล้วคิดว่าเขาจะหยุดแค่นี้ไหมครับ 555555 ไม่มีทางครับ การคืบคลานต้องมีต่อไป วันนี้จะมาในตอนที่ชื่อว่า

EVERY Egg ไข่ยุคใหม่ที่ไม่ต้องใช้แม่ไก่อีกต่อไป ลองนึกภาพ "ไข่เจียว" ที่ไม่มีแม่ไก่เกี่ยวข้องแม้แต่ขนไก่สักเส้น...ใช่เลยจ้ะ โลกตอนนี้ไปถึงจุดที่ ไข่ สามารถผลิตได้จาก “ยีสต์” ที่ถูกดัดแปลงพันธุกรรม เพื่อให้มันสร้าง “โปรตีนไข่” แบบเดียวกับในธรรมชาติ โดยไม่ต้องผ่านแม่ไก่ ไม่ต้องมีเปลือก และแน่นอน...ไม่มีเสียงขันตอนเช้าอีกต่อไป

ผู้เล่นที่น่าจับตาที่สุดคือบริษัท EVERY Company จาก Silicon Valley เจ้าเดิมที่เปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์ใหม่ในชื่อ EVERY Egg ซึ่งเป็น “ของเหลว” ที่หน้าตาเหมือนวิปไข่ไก่ แต่เบื้องหลังคือกระบวนการผลิตระดับไซไฟ! พวกเขาใช้เทคนิคที่เรียกว่า precision fermentation หรือ “การหมักแม่นยำ” เพื่อสั่งให้ยีสต์สร้างโปรตีน ovalbumin (โปรตีนหลักในไข่ขาว) และ lysozyme (สารฆ่าเชื้อแบคทีเรียตามธรรมชาติในไข่) ออกมา จากนั้นก็เอามาผสม เติมแต่ง แต่งกลิ่น เติมสี ใส่สารกันเสียเล็กน้อย...ปิ๊ง! ได้ไข่ที่ไม่มีไข่ ได้ใจประชาชนที่กินสารอาหารแบบคลั่งตัวเลข

จุดขายที่ EVERY Company ใช้ในการนำเสนอ EVERY Egg สลุตมาเป็นตับ ตับ ตับ แบบนี้ครับ 1. High quality egg protein ใช้โปรตีน ovalbumin ที่ได้จากกระบวนการ fermentation ด้วย precision fermentation จากยีสต์สายพันธุ์ Pichia pastoris ซึ่งเป็น โปรตีนหลักในไข่ขาวธรรมชาติและเคลมว่าให้คุณสมบัติเทียบเท่าหรือดีกว่าไข่จากไก่ในเรื่องโครงสร้างโปรตีนและการทำงานในอาหาร เช่น การตีขึ้นฟู (foaming) และการอิมัลซิไฟ คุณเอ๊ยยยย ฟลัฟฟลี่สุดๆ 555 2. No hens used เป็น selling point หลักที่สื่อสารหนักมากในเชิง “ไม่เบียดเบียนสัตว์” ดูมีคุณธรรม จึงถูกจัดเป็นมังสวิรัติ (vegan-friendly) แม้จะได้จากจุลินทรีย์ที่ออกแบบให้ผลิตโปรตีนที่เหมือนจากสัตว์ จุดนี้ล่อใจผู้บริโภควีแกนและกลุ่มที่ต่อต้านฟาร์มอุตสาหกรรมอย่างเต็มๆ พร้อมถวิลหา 3. No cholesterol ยังเป็นจุดขายหลักได้ตลอดกาลกับการครอบงำให้กลัวคอเลสเตอรอล เพราะผลิตจากจุลินทรีย์ ไม่ใช่จากสัตว์จริง ๆ จึงไม่มีคอเลสเตอรอลเลย ซึ่งเป็นข้อได้เปรียบเทียบกับไข่ไก่ที่มีคอเลสเตอรอลตามธรรมชาติ 4. No saturated fat พอๆกันครับ ยังเป็นจุดขู่จุดขายได้ตลอดกาลเช่นเดียวกับคอเลสเตอรอล โปรตีนที่ผลิตจากยีสต์ไม่มีไขมันอิ่มตัวเช่นเดียวกับผลิตภัณฑ์จากสัตว์จริง 5. No artificial flavors แหม่ พยายามสร้างภาพลักษณ์ว่าเป็น clean label ไม่ใช้แต่งกลิ่นหรือสารเติมแต่งรส (แม้จะเป็นผลิตภัณฑ์ที่ผ่านกระบวนการขั้นสูงมากก็ตาม) 6. No salmonella จุดที่คนโคตรกลัวเลยในไข่ สังเกตุไหมว่า จัดหนักจัดเน้นขยี้ความกลัวของคนได้ทุกจุด อย่างอันนี้เนื่องจากไม่มีสัตว์เข้ามาเกี่ยวข้องในการผลิต ทำให้โอกาสปนเปื้อนเชื้อซัลโมเนลลาที่พบบ่อยในไข่สดแทบเป็นศูนย์ เป็นจุดขายด้านความปลอดภัยอาหาร (food safety) ที่เขาเน้นมาก

เท่านี้ยังไม่พอครับ คำถามที่คนต้องสงสัยแน่นอนคือ ชนิดของกรดอมิโนหละครบไหม pain point ของชาววีแกน เนื่องจาก EVERY Company ใช้เทคนิค “Precision Fermentation” โดยใส่ยีนจากไก่ลงไปในยีสต์ เพื่อให้ผลิต ovalbumin ได้เหมือนในธรรมชาติ จึงทำให้โครงสร้างของกรดอะมิโนในโปรตีนนี้ เหมือนไข่จริงแทบ 100% โปรตีน ovalbumin ที่ใช้ผลิต เป็น primary protein จึงถือว่าเป็น โปรตีนมาตรฐาน (reference protein) ในทางโภชนาการ เพราะมี กรดอะมิโนจำเป็นทั้ง 9 ชนิด ในปริมาณที่เพียงพอ ได้แก่ Leucine, Lysine, Valine, Isoleucine, Threonine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, Histidine

แต่... แม้จะมีกรดอะมิโนครบ ก็ยังมีเรื่องให้คิด โปรตีนนี้ ไม่มาจากธรรมชาติ โดยตรง แต่ผ่านการผลิตจากสิ่งมีชีวิตดัดแปลงพันธุกรรม (GMO yeast) ยังไม่มีข้อมูลชัดเจนเรื่อง bioavailability (การดูดซึม) เมื่อเทียบกับไข่จริง และที่สำคัญ คือการบริโภค “complete protein” ไม่ได้แปลว่า ปลอดภัยในระยะยาว ถ้าพื้นฐานมันคือ GMO จากแลปที่ไม่มีวิวัฒนาการร่วมกับมนุษย์ แน่นอนว่ามันยังต้องการ "ตลาดทดลอง" เพื่อทดลองและเก็บข้อมูลประกอบสินค้าในระยะเวลานึง เข้าใจไหม "หนูๆ"

คำถามคือ โปรตีนแท้...หรือแค่ “เลียนแบบ” EVERY Egg บอกว่าเขาสร้างโปรตีนเหมือนไข่เป๊ะชนิดที่ว่าเชฟชื่อดังยังแยกไม่ออก (ถ้าไม่ดูฉลาก) สามารถนำไปทอด ทำไข่คน ไข่เจียว โอ๊มเล็ต ได้เหมือนไข่จริงทุกประการ แถมยังไม่มีคอเลสเตอรอล ไม่มีไขมันอิ่มตัว มีแต่ “โปรตีนล้วนๆ” แบบคลีนๆ

แต่ตรงนี้แหละที่มันเริ่ม น่าสงสัย เพราะการไม่มีไขมันเลย มันก็คือการตัดเอา matrix ทางโภชนาการ ที่ธรรมชาติออกแบบมาให้เราย่อยง่าย ดูดซึมวิตามินได้ดี และช่วยให้เรารู้สึกอิ่มแบบธรรมชาติ ไข่แท้จากไก่ ไม่ใช่แค่แหล่งโปรตีน แต่มันคือ “ของขวัญจากธรรมชาติ” ที่มีทั้ง choline, lutein, zeaxanthin, วิตามิน A, D, E, B12, โอเมก้า-3, ไขมันดี และเลซิธิน อยู่ครบทุกอนู ช่วยทั้งสมอง ดวงตา และตับ

ในขณะที่ EVERY Egg คือ “ไข่ที่เราอยากให้มันเป็น” มากกว่า “ไข่ที่ธรรมชาติอยากให้เราได้กิน”

บริษัท The EVERY Company ได้ร่วมมือกับเชฟระดับสุดยอดมากมาย ซึ่งการร่วมมือครั้งนี้มีเป้าหมายเพื่อแสดงให้เห็นว่าโปรตีนไข่ที่ผลิตจากกระบวนการ precision fermentation ของ EVERY Egg สามารถตอบสนองมาตรฐานสูงสุดของวงการอาหารชั้นเลิศได้ เรามาดูตัวอย่างกันครับว่า มีที่ไหนบ้าง

1. Eleven Madison Park โดย เชฟ Daniel Humm (มิชลิน3 ดาว ที่นิวยอร์ก) EVERY Egg เปิดตัวครั้งแรกในปี 2023 ที่ร้าน Eleven Madison Park ซึ่งเป็นร้านอาหารระดับมิชลิน 3 ดาว ในนิวยอร์ก โดยเชฟ Daniel Humm ได้สร้างสรรค์เมนูพิเศษที่ใช้ EVERY Egg เป็นส่วนประกอบหลัก เช่น ออมเล็ต ค็อกเทล และของหวาน เพื่อแสดงถึงความสามารถของผลิตภัณฑ์นี้ในการตอบสนองมาตรฐานสูงสุดของวงการอาหารชั้นเลิศระดับ fine dining มิชลิน

2. Chantal Guillon (ร้านมาการองฝรั่งเศสในซานฟรานซิสโก) EVERY Company ได้ร่วมมือกับร้านขนม Chantal Guillon ในการผลิตมาการองที่ใช้ EVERY EggWhite™ ซึ่งเป็นโปรตีนไข่ขาวที่ผลิตจากกระบวนการ precision fermentation โดยไม่มีการใช้ไข่จากไก่เลย ผลิตภัณฑ์นี้ได้รับการยอมรับว่าให้รสชาติและเนื้อสัมผัสที่เทียบเท่ากับไข่ขาวธรรมชาติ

3. The Vegetarian Butcher เป็นแบรนด์ในเครือ Unilever ตามที่ได้เคยให้ข้อมูลไปแล้ว EVERY Company ได้จับมือกับ The Vegetarian Butcher ซึ่งเป็นแบรนด์อาหารมังสวิรัติในเครือ Unilever เพื่อพัฒนาและผลิตผลิตภัณฑ์ที่ใช้โปรตีนไข่จาก EVERY Egg โดยมีเป้าหมายในการลดการใช้สัตว์ในห่วงโซ่อาหารและส่งเสริมความยั่งยืนในอุตสาหกรรมอาหาร

4. Grupo Palacios ผู้ผลิต Spanish Omelet รายใหญ่ของโลก EVERY Company ได้ร่วมมือกับ Grupo Palacios ซึ่งเป็นผู้ผลิต Spanish Omelet รายใหญ่ของโลก โดยนำ EVERY Egg มาใช้ในผลิตภัณฑ์ของตน เพื่อเป็นทางเลือกที่ปลอดภัยและยั่งยืนต่อไข่ไก่ธรรมชาติ ซึ่งอาจมีปัญหาเรื่องการปนเปื้อนและความไม่แน่นอนในการผลิต

Fiat Egg บนเส้นทางเดียวกับ Fiat Food เฮียชวนให้มองภาพใหญ่เหมือนเวลาเรายืนอยู่บนดาดฟ้าแล้วมองลงไปที่ตลาด... ผลิตภัณฑ์อย่าง EVERY Egg ไม่ใช่แค่การสร้าง “ของใหม่” แต่มันคือการ เปลี่ยนแปลงพื้นฐานของอาหาร ด้วยแนวคิดแบบ “Fiat” เป๊ะ Fiat Food คืออาหารที่ไม่ได้เกิดจากธรรมชาติ แต่ถูก “กำหนดให้มีคุณค่า” โดยอุตสาหกรรม Fiat Money คือเงินที่ไม่ได้มีมูลค่าในตัวเอง แต่รัฐบาลบอกให้เรายอมรับมันเป็นเงิน

ในโลกนี้ ถ้า “ไข่” ไม่ต้องมาจากแม่ไก่ “นม” ไม่ต้องมาจากเต้า และ “เนื้อ” ไม่ต้องมาจากวัว แต่ใช้แค่สารเคมี + ยีสต์ + กราฟ + กลิ่นสังเคราะห์ = “ของกินได้” แล้วมันจะเหลือความเป็น อาหารแท้ (real food) อยู่อีกไหม?

เบื้องหลังที่เราควรถามให้ลึก แม้ว่า EVERY จะอ้างว่าโปรตีนจากยีสต์ของเขา “ปลอดภัยและยั่งยืน” แต่ยังไม่มีข้อมูลด้าน long-term health impact ยังไม่มีข้อมูลว่ายีสต์ GMO ที่ใช้ จะกระตุ้นภูมิแพ้หรือมีสารตกค้างหรือไม่ ยังไม่รู้ว่าสารแต่งกลิ่น รส และตัวพาอื่นๆ ที่ใส่ใน EVERY Egg จะส่งผลอะไรกับ microbiome หรือฮอร์โมนของเราในระยะยาว แต่นั่นก็คงมาพร้อมกับคำตอบหรูๆหล่อๆว่า "ขอให้มั่นใจในกระบวนการผลิตที่ทันสมัยและดีเยี่ยม" . . . ตามเคย

และที่น่าสนใจคือ...ผลิตภัณฑ์ EVERY Egg ยังไม่ได้รับการรับรอง GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) อย่างเป็นทางการจาก FDA จึงยังไม่สามารถวางจำหน่ายในร้านค้าปลีกทั่วไปได้ บริษัทกำลังร่วมมือกับบริษัทอาหารข้ามชาติในการเปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์ในปีนี้ แต่ยังไม่มีข้อมูลชัดเจนเกี่ยวกับการวางจำหน่ายในร้านค้าปลีกทั่วไป​ แต่ส่วนตัวเฮียคิดว่าไม่น่ากังวล น่าจะผ่านฉลุยแหละ 5555

ไข่สังเคราะห์ = ความหวัง? หรือกับดักในรูปของนวัตกรรม? เราคงไม่ปฏิเสธว่ามีหลายคนบนโลกที่แพ้ไข่จริง หรือห่วงใยเรื่องสวัสดิภาพสัตว์ รวมถึงต้องการความ "บริสุทธิ์" "สกัด" "เข้มข้น" แต่คำถามคือ...จะดีกว่าไหมถ้าเราหาทางผลิต ไข่จริงจากไก่ที่เลี้ยงแบบธรรมชาติ ในระบบ regenerative farming แทนที่จะพยายามสร้างโปรตีนปลอมขึ้นมาแข่ง? ทุกครั้งที่มีของใหม่ที่ดูดี สะอาด และ “คลีน” เฮียอยากให้ทุกคน ถามกลับในใจว่า “คลีน” แค่ในห้องแล็บ หรือ “คลีน” ในธรรมชาติจริงๆ?

สรุปแบบไม่ต้องตีลังกาคิดได้ว่า EVERY Egg คือก้าวใหม่ของเทคโนโลยีอาหารที่กำลังวิ่งไปข้างหน้าแบบไม่เหลียวหลัง แต่ในฐานะที่เฮียเชื่อใน real food, nutrient density และความฉลาดของธรรมชาติ เราอาจต้องเตือนใจไว้ว่า...การใช้ยีสต์ดัดแปลงพันธุกรรมมาผลิต “ไข่เทียม” ไม่ใช่ความผิด แต่ก็ไม่ใช่ความจำเป็นไหม เพราะแท้จริงแล้ว เรามี “ไข่” ที่สมบูรณ์แบบอยู่ในธรรมชาติแล้ว...แค่ไม่ควรปล่อยให้อุตสาหกรรมทำลายภาพลักษณ์ของมัน เพื่อขายของที่ “เหมือนไข่” แต่ไม่มีชีวิต

คำถามเดิมครับ วันนึงเมื่อถึงจุดที่คุณไม่ได้เลือก แล้วมันมีให้แค่นี้ วันนั้นจะทำอย่างไร วันแห่งความ "บริสุทธิ์" "สกัด" "เข้มข้น" ที่เราถวิลหา ??? #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

Dies ist ein Test

Bitcoin

It stands alone. Immutable. Unyielding. It records without mercy. Each transaction cuts deep. Some carry wealth. Others just data. The debate rages on.

OP_RETURN

It divides us all. Bloat versus freedom. Money versus use. Simple versus complex.

Nodes

They bear heavy weight. Each byte costs something. Storage grows. Bandwidth drains. Money defenders stand guard.

"Our purpose is clear...Money serves one master." —Mises

Not art.

Not storage.

Not games.

The fee-payers

They disagree. "I paid. I belong." The miners take their cut. The highest fee wins. No questions asked. The protocol allows it.

"Accept what exists."—Marcus Aurelius

The chain is neutral. Always neutral.

What is a transaction?

None agree. Value transfer only? Or any valid data? The white paper speaks. "Electronic cash system." Yet code evolved. It grew teeth. It allows more now.

"Shitcoin"

Cuts both ways. A dangerous word. It keeps focus. It maintains unity. But it wounds creation. Makes builders desperate. They force ideas onto Bitcoin. They use OP_RETURN poorly. They bloat what needs no bloating. Seneca saw this coming...

"Fear makes suffering worse."

Innovation needs proper soil. Not forced transplants.

Money debates sharpen knives. Is Bitcoin gold? Is it currency? Mantras echo loudly.

"Digital gold."

_"Spend dollars, saving Bitcoin." _

"Never sell your Bitcoin."

Bitcoin becomes idol. Not tool. Mises would disapprove, "Money must move." Without exchange, it dies. If none spend, why fight bloat?

Rhetoric

It hurts us. "Shitcoin" closes minds. Forces square pegs round. Drives experiments home. To Bitcoin they return. Bearing misshapen plans.

"Knowledge exists in dispersion," Hayek warns.

Let ideas find homes. Let Bitcoin be Bitcoin.

Fees

They bring new problems. Users flee high costs. They seek cheaper chains. The wealthy still play games. They can afford the bloat. The poor cannot compete. The rich inscribe at will. Rothbard saw this trap, "Markets need equal rules."

Fee markets favor wealth. Always have. Always will.

Nodes must still run. Validators must validate. Decentralized. Resistant. Strong. The burden grows heavier. But principles matter most.

The battle

It continues. Hard words. Hard choices.

Bitcoin endures all. Money or platform? Gold or currency? The answers shift. The chain grows. Block by block. Byte by byte.

We need clearer words. Cleaner definitions. Less pride. More thought. Let Bitcoin be what it is. Not what we demand.

Bitcoin is human.

Not magical. Not divine. Fallible like its makers. A young experiment still. It could fail tomorrow.

"Nothing is too big to fail." —Satoshi

Our rhetoric needs maturity. Our definitions need clarity. Bitcoin needs humility. From all who touch the code.

Most darknet markets (DNMs) are designed poorly in the following ways:

1. Hosting

Most DNMs use a model whereby merchants fill out a form to create their listings, and the data they submit then gets hosted on the DNM's servers. In scenarios where a "legal" website would be forced to censor that content (e.g. a DMCA takedown order), DNMs, of course, do not obey. This can lead to authorities trying to find the DNM's servers to take enforcement actions against them. This design creates a single point of failure.

A better design is to outsource hosting to third parties. Let merchants host their listings on nostr relays, not on the DNM's server. The DNM should only be designed as an open source interface for exploring listings hosted elsewhere, that way takedown orders end up with the people who actually host the listings, i.e. with nostr relays, and not with the DNM itself. And if a nostr relay DOES go down due to enforcement action, it does not significantly affect the DNM -- they'll just stop querying for listings from that relay in their next software update, because that relay doesn't work anymore, and only query for listings from relays that still work.

2. Moderation

Most DNMs have employees who curate the listings on the DNM. For example, they approve/deny listings depending on whether they fit the content policies of the website. Some DNMs are only for drugs, others are only for firearms. The problem is, to approve a criminal listing is, in the eyes of law enforcement, an act of conspiracy. Consequently, they don't just go after the merchant who made the listing but the moderators who approved it, and since the moderators typically act under the direction of the DNM, this means the police go after the DNM itself.

A better design is to outsource moderation to third parties. Let anyone call themselves a moderator and create lists of approved goods and services. Merchants can pay the most popular third party moderators to add their products to their lists. The DNM itself just lets its users pick which moderators to use, such that the user's choice -- and not a choice by the DNM -- determines what goods and services the user sees in the interface.

That way, the police go after the moderators and merchants rather than the DNM itself, which is basically just a web browser: it doesn't host anything or approve of any content, it just shows what its users tell it to show. And if a popular moderator gets arrested, his list will still work for a while, but will gradually get more and more outdated, leading someone else to eventually become the new most popular moderator, and a natural transition can occur.

3. Escrow

Most DNMs offer an escrow solution whereby users do not pay merchants directly. Rather, during the Checkout process, they put their money in escrow, and request the DNM to release it to the merchant when the product arrives, otherwise they initiate a dispute. Most DNMs consider escrow necessary because DNM users and merchants do not trust one another; users don't want to pay for a product first and then discover that the merchant never ships it, and merchants don't want to ship a product first and then discover that the user never pays for it.

The problem is, running an escrow solution for criminals is almost certain to get you accused of conspiracy, money laundering, and unlicensed money transmission, so the police are likely to shut down any DNM that does this. A better design is to oursource escrow to third parties. Let anyone call themselves an escrow, and let moderators approve escrows just like they approve listings. A merchant or user who doesn't trust the escrows chosen by a given moderator can just pick a different moderator. That way, the police go after the third party escrows rather than the DNM itself, which never touches user funds.

4. Consequences

Designing a DNM along these principles has an interesting consequence: the DNM is no longer anything but an interface, a glorified web browser. It doesn't host any content, approve any listings, or touch any money. It doesn't even really need a server -- it can just be an HTML file that users open up on their computer or smart phone. For two reasons, such a program is hard to take down:

First, it is hard for the police to justify going after the DNM, since there are no charges to bring. Its maintainers aren't doing anything illegal, no more than Firefox does anything illegal by maintaining a web browser that some people use to browse illegal content. What the user displays in the app is up to them, not to the code maintainers. Second, if the police decided to go after the DNM anyway, they still couldn't take it down because it's just an HTML file -- the maintainers do not even need to run a server to host the file, because users can share it with one another, eliminating all single points of failure.

Another consequence of this design is this: most of the listings will probably be legal, because there is more demand for legal goods and services than illegal ones. Users who want to find illegal goods would pick moderators who only approve those listings, but everyone else would use "legal" moderators, and the app would not, at first glance, look much like a DNM, just a marketplace for legal goods and services. To find the illegal stuff that lurks among the abundant legal stuff, you'd probably have to filter for it via your selection of moderators, making it seem like the "default" mode is legal.

5. Conclusion

I think this DNM model is far better than the designs that prevail today. It is easier to maintain, harder to take down, and pushes the "hard parts" to the edges, so that the DNM is not significantly affected even if a major merchant, moderator, or escrow gets arrested. I hope it comes to fruition.

A lot of typing has been done comparing various right wing figures and people like Donald Trump and Elon Mush to Fascism and Nazism. It is frankly pretty absurd at this point. I'd be with them if they were just talking about these people being authoritarians. They clearly are in many ways. I'm not a fan.

But very little is said in a "non-partisan" way about the left. This is gonna be short and is meant to peak your curiosity to go and do some research for yourself.

The economist Milton Friedman famously said.

"After the fall of communism, everybody in the world agreed that socialism was a failure. Everybody in the world, more or less, agreed that capitalism was a success. And every capitalist country in the world apparently deduced from that what the West needed was more socialism."

This was said a long time ago and it is still the case. People espouse socialist ideas without even a concern about being called out for it. The same is NOT true of fascism or even traditional American patriotism.

But many of you may not realize just how deep the rot of socialism goes. Most people agree that the USSR committed terrible acts and was a failure. Before the creation of the USSR two socialists movements fought for power and control, the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks. The primary difference between the two groups was how to bring about socialism. The Bolsheviks led by Lenin favored a more radical revolutionary force led by a small group. The Mensheviks, led by Julius Martov, preferred a larger, more democratic rise to power. They supported a more gradual rise of socialism. In October of 1917 the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia in a bloody revolution.

Even to this day there are two different minds around how to bring about socialism. In the US the Menshevik approach is the one more popular. People like Bernie and AOC are this type of socialist. But make no mistake. They want to bring about a socialist utopian society. The type of system we have seen fail time and time again.

A few years ago I heard about another socialist movement and was frankly shocked that I had never heard about it before. In 1890 Britain a group of socialists formed an organization called the Fabian Society. The Fabians were/are socialists. But they believe in gradual incrementalism to bring about socialism. So what did the do you ask? They were at the center of the founding of the Labour party in the UK. Now, you might say. Big deal. But here's the weird thing. The Fabian Society's coat of arms was literally a wolf in sheep's clothing

They sought to bring about socialism covertly through democratic processes by presenting themselves as more moderate politicians. They have worked for decades to bring about socialism in the UK. If you don't count Margret Thatcher's era they've done a pretty great job. The UK is a mess.

So what does this have to do with May Day or Labor day for that matter? Well, socialists are at the center of every labor movement and celebrations like May day. Socialist ideas have been pumped into the government textbooks in the US for decades. Teachers are instructed in Universities full of believers in this wolf in sheep's clothing movement of democratic socialism.

Socialism leads to death and poverty. I'm not here to say that the US economy is the example for what the world should do. I'm a free market guy. We live in a corporatism led economy where the state partners with corporations to screw many in the US as well as the world. But I can tell you this. Socialism would be even worse.

The famous and infamous Russian anarchist Emma Goldman upon returning from her visit to the USSR was broken hearted. She had been a supporter of the revolution, but when she saw it with her own eyes she had a change of heart.

The compassion that seems to be a part of socialism is a lie. You can't institutionalize compassion. It has to come from the people, not a system. We should care for our brothers and sisters. But WE have to do it. We can't take from one group and give to another. We can't surrender our liberties to those that say they will take care of it for us. We have to do it. Capitalism is amoral. The free market is amoral. Both require us to be moral and show the way.

I hope this sparks your interest into looking into the history around socialist movements across the globe. I don't doubt that some have good motives, but the results are disastrous for the masses.

Wisdom for the Fourth Decade

🔥

Turning 40 is like hitting the “I should really know better by now” milestone. It’s a time when you look back at your past self, shake your head, and chuckle (or cringe) at your youthful blunders.

Here are 15 truths you should embrace by this significant age, each one a guide to a more fulfilling, empowered life.

Leverage Is Key

Ever wonder why your colleague who seems to be on perpetual coffee breaks makes ten times more than you? It's not black magic. They have leverage—whether it's through technology, skills, or knowing how to delegate their way out of everything. Find your leverage and watch your value skyrocket.

Distraction: The Silent Killer

In our world of incessant notifications and cat videos, distraction is the enemy. It’s like having a mosquito in the room when you're trying to sleep. Cultivate a habit of deep work. Guard your attention like it's the last piece of cake at a party—fiercely.

Beware of Unqualified Advice

Taking advice from someone who hasn’t achieved what you want is like asking a cat for swimming lessons. Be selective with whose counsel you follow. Choose mentors who have walked the path and let their experiences be your map.

Own Your Life

Here’s the blunt truth: no one is coming to save you. Your problems, your life, are 100% your responsibility. Embrace this ownership. Empower yourself to be the hero of your own story. Don’t wait for a knight in shining armor—be your own rescue mission.

Action Over Self-Help Books

You don’t need to turn your living room into a self-help library. You need action. Self-discipline beats all the motivational quotes in the world. Commit to taking steps, however small, towards your goals. It's the doing, not just the knowing, that transforms dreams into reality.

The Power of Sales Skills

Unless your college degree is as specific as a neurosurgeon’s, your ticket to higher earnings in the next 90 days is learning sales. It’s a skill that opens doors, creates opportunities, and accelerates financial growth faster than you can say "commission."

No One Cares (In a Good Way)

Stop worrying about what others think—they’re too busy worrying about themselves. Take bold steps, make your moves, and create your chances. The world is too preoccupied with its own drama to scrutinize yours.

Collaborate with the Brilliant

When you meet someone smarter than you, don’t let your ego turn it into a competition. Collaborate with them. Two heads (especially two brilliant ones) are better than one, and together you can achieve remarkable things.

The Smoking Deception

Smoking has zero benefits. It’s like trying to improve your driving skills by riding a tricycle. If you want to sharpen your focus and enhance your thinking, ditch the habit. Your lungs—and your future self—will thank you.

Comfort: A Dangerous Addiction

Comfort is like quicksand. It feels nice until you’re stuck and can’t move. Regularly challenge yourself. Step out of your comfort zone because growth and fulfillment lie just beyond the boundaries of what feels easy.

Guard Your Privacy

Not everyone needs to know your life story, your plans, or what you had for breakfast. Maintain a sense of mystery. It’s not about being secretive; it’s about keeping some things just for yourself.

Alcohol: A Costly Vice

Alcohol impairs your judgment and lowers your inhibitions. It’s like paying someone to mess up your life. Avoid it. Clear thinking and control over your actions are priceless.

Keep Your Standards High

Don’t settle for less just because it’s available. High standards attract high-quality opportunities and people. Know your worth and hold out for what aligns with your values and goals.

Prioritize Your Chosen Family

The family you create is more important than the one you were born into. Nurture these relationships. They are your ride-or-die, your squad, your home team. Invest in them as they will be the cornerstone of your support system.

Take Nothing Personally

To save yourself from a myriad of mental burdens, learn not to take things personally. Most of the time, people’s actions are a reflection of their reality, not yours. This mindset shift will free you from unnecessary stress and emotional turmoil.
