Dans le cadre de la présidence du G7, la France cherche à développer des partenariats au sein de l'UE et à l'extérieur afin de faire concurrence au monopole chinois sur les minerais critiques. Le prochain rapport de l'Agence internationale de l'énergie (AIE) est en cours de préparation. RFI a eu accès aux grandes lignes avant sa publication. Face à une forte croissance de la demande en minerais critiques, deux grands enjeux se dégagent. Le premier concerne les volumes. Y aura-t-il suffisamment de production dans le monde pour faire face à la demande ? À ce sujet, l'Agence internationale de l'énergie (AIE) a constaté des progrès. Nickel, cobalt ou graphite… de nombreux projets ont été annoncés ces dernières années. « L'offre attendue est en bonne voie pour répondre aux besoins d'ici 2035 », rassure un expert de l'agence. Cependant, « des déséquilibres se profilent à l'horizon » pour d'autres minerais comme le cuivre et le lithium. Le deuxième enjeu, c'est la concentration des régions de traitement et de raffinage de ces minerais. Dans ce domaine, pas de progrès. Un seul fournisseur dominant, toujours le même : la Chine. À lire aussiLes prix du cuivre tirés vers le bas par la guerre au Moyen-Orient Une concentration de la capacité de transformation L'AIE réalise le suivi de 20 minerais stratégiques utilisés dans le secteur de l'énergie, des technologies de pointe et de l'aérospatial. Son constat : la Chine domine le raffinage de 19 d'entre eux et représente 70 % des parts de marché. Ce qui est inquiétant, c'est que cette concentration augmente même d'année en année. 2025 a marqué par ailleurs un tournant. Des restrictions sur les exportations ont été annoncées par les fournisseurs dominants, qu'ils soient chinois ou non. Sur les 20 minerais scrutés, 11 font déjà l'objet de limitations. L'exemple des aimants est très parlant. Présents dans certaines technologies de la transition écologique, comme les moteurs des éoliennes, ils sont également indispensables dans des produits du quotidien, comme les véhicules thermiques. Ils servent pour le contrôle de la direction assistée, du freinage, pour les vitres… Indispensables donc, mais tous sont produits en Chine. À écouter dans Accents du mondeL'enjeu des minerais critiques Industrialiser des filières  En avril 2025, quand Pékin a annoncé des restrictions aux exportations, les constructeurs européens et américains se sont retrouvés en grande difficulté. Cette restriction a finalement été mise en pause jusqu'à novembre 2026. Mais si la Chine mettait à nouveau ces menaces à exécution, l'AIE a estimé que les conséquences pour les secteurs qui dépendent de ces aimants se chiffreraient de l'ordre de 6,5 trillions de dollars. Pour faire face à cette dépendance, il faut donc identifier des filières et les contrôler de A à Z, de la mine au produit fini. Et ce n'est pas si simple. Il y a des limites à l'accès aux minerais mais aussi aux technologies. Les limites sont aussi financières : impossible même à l'échelle européenne d'industrialiser l'ensemble des filières. Dans un schéma où, quoi qu'il en soit, la Chine vend souvent en dessous du coût de production. Difficile donc de motiver les investissements quand on sait qu'on ne sera pas compétitif.

Le logiciel de Palantir Technologies est devenu, en quelques années, un pilier discret mais essentiel des armées modernes — au point de transformer radicalement la manière de faire la guerre.Traditionnellement, une opération militaire reposait sur une armée… d'analystes. Pendant la Guerre du Golfe, il fallait mobiliser des milliers de spécialistes pour croiser des informations venues de satellites, d'écoutes radio, de rapports humains ou encore d'images aériennes. Un travail lent, fragmenté, et surtout incapable de suivre le rythme du terrain.C'est précisément là que Palantir change la donne.Son logiciel — notamment sa plateforme Gotham — agit comme un cerveau central capable d'absorber et de relier en temps réel des quantités gigantesques de données hétérogènes. Images satellites, communications interceptées, déplacements de troupes, signaux électroniques, données météo ou même informations issues des réseaux sociaux : tout est intégré, structuré et analysé automatiquement.Le résultat est spectaculaire : là où il fallait autrefois 2 000 analystes, une vingtaine suffit aujourd'hui. Non pas parce que l'analyse a disparu, mais parce qu'elle est augmentée. Les humains ne passent plus leur temps à trier l'information — ils interprètent des résultats déjà organisés, hiérarchisés, et enrichis par l'intelligence artificielle.Dans le contexte des tensions entre les États-Unis et l'Iran, cette capacité devient stratégique. L'IA permet de détecter des schémas invisibles à l'œil humain : un convoi suspect, une activité inhabituelle sur une base, ou la corrélation entre plusieurs signaux faibles. En quelques secondes, le système peut proposer des cibles potentielles, évaluer leur importance stratégique, et même anticiper les conséquences d'une frappe.C'est ainsi que, dès les premiers jours d'une offensive, plus de 1 250 frappes peuvent être coordonnées avec une précision et une rapidité inédites. On ne parle plus simplement de supériorité militaire, mais de supériorité informationnelle.Mais cette puissance soulève aussi des questions majeures. D'abord, celle de la dépendance : quand la décision repose sur un système algorithmique, qui contrôle réellement la chaîne de commandement ? Ensuite, celle de l'opacité : les modèles utilisés par Palantir sont en grande partie propriétaires, donc difficilement auditables. Enfin, celle de l'éthique : automatiser la sélection de cibles, même partiellement, brouille la frontière entre assistance et délégation de la décision létale.En réalité, Palantir incarne une mutation profonde : la guerre n'est plus seulement une affaire de soldats et d'armes, mais de données et d'algorithmes. Et dans ce nouveau champ de bataille, celui qui maîtrise l'information ne se contente plus de gagner — il décide du rythme même du conflit. Hébergé par Acast.

Aujourd'hui, on démonte une idée reçue qui a la vie dure dans les couloirs des DSI.Non, les agents d'IA ne vont pas tuer les bases de données vectorielles. C'est même tout le contraire.On pensait que l'augmentation massive de la taille des fenêtres de contexte des grands modèles de langage rendrait la recherche vectorielle obsolète, mais la réalité du terrain montre que les agents ont besoin de ces infrastructures plus que jamais.Du RAG aux agents d'IAD'abord, il faut comprendre que le passage du RAG classique, la génération augmentée par récupération, vers les agents autonomes change totalement d'échelle.Là où un humain pose quelques questions par minute, un agent peut générer des centaines, voire des milliers de requêtes par seconde pour collecter les informations nécessaires à une seule prise de décision.Cette intensité transforme la recherche vectorielle, qui n'est plus un simple accessoire de stockage mais devient une véritable couche d'infrastructure critique.C'est ce que confirme Andre Zayarni, le patron de Qdrant, qui vient de lever 50 millions de dollars. Pour lui, la mémoire des agents ne remplace pas la recherche, elle s'appuie dessus.Et si cette couche de récupération n'est pas taillée pour la charge, c'est toute la qualité de la décision de l'IA qui s'effondre.Vers les moteurs spécialisésEnsuite, parlons de la spécialisation technique.Aujourd'hui, presque toutes les bases de données du marché, de Postgres aux solutions des hyperscalers, supportent le format vectoriel.Mais attention, supporter un format ne signifie pas savoir gérer la performance à grande échelle.Et pour les entreprises qui manipulent des millions de documents, les solutions généralistes montrent vite leurs limites.On observe en effet trois signaux d'alerte : une dégradation de la pertinence quand les données changent trop vite, une latence qui explose lors des appels d'outils en parallèle par l'agent, et des coûts d'infrastructure qui s'envolent.C'est là que des moteurs spécialisés, souvent écrits en Rust, reprennent l'avantage en offrant une précision que les fenêtres de contexte ne peuvent pas garantir seules.Dès que la qualité vient à manquer, il faut migrerEnfin, l'enjeu stratégique pour vos équipes est de savoir quand basculer vers une infrastructure dédiée.Commencez donc avec ce que vous avez déjà dans votre pile technologique. Mais dès que la qualité vient à manquer, il faut migrer.En clair, l'agent n'est que l'interface. C'est la base vectorielle qui est la "vérité du terrain".En résumé, les bases vectorielles ne sont pas un artefact de l'ère précédente, elles sont le moteur de l'autonomie des agents de demain.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

1. The Prosperous Mariner Community of Marblehead and its Revolutionary Leadership Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Marblehead was the second-largest port city in Massachusetts and a thriving cosmopolitan community, with a population estimated at about 5,000. Its economy relied heavily on fishing, specifically codfish from the Grand Banks, which were salted and traded globally via a massive merchant fleet. This commerce fostered some of the wealthiest men in the colonies. Key leaders included Jeremiah Lee, a man of enormous wealth and influence, and John Glover, a scrappy, stocky, red-haired self-made man who started as a cobbler and built a successful fleet of ships. These men, along with Elbridge Gerry, were prominent members of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, sitting on crucial committees of supply and safety. They leveraged their trade routes to bring in vital resources, such as gunpowder and cannon, securing Spain as the colonies' "first foreign aid" in 1774. Glover led the Marblehead Regiment, which was notably diverse, including African Americans like Caesar Glover and Romeo, who sailed and fought together.

2. The Seizure of Black Powder: Lexington, Concord, and the First Shots of the Revolution Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Black powder was the most crucial resource for the nascent revolution, as it did not exist in the colonies, making guns useless without it. The British actively sought to seize all gunpowder in New England. The Marbleheaders, utilizing their established supply lines, brought in the bulk of the powder and arms the British were trying to confiscate. A key early action occurred on December 14, 1774, during the raid on Fort William and Mary, which was a main powder source for the British. Led by John Sullivan and John Langdon, the raiders—tipped off by Marblehead intelligence—stormed the fort and seized the powder and cannon; the few shots fired here are considered the "first shots" of the American Revolution. Following this, in April 1775, the British marched toward Lexington and Concord. Marblehead leaders, including Elbridge Gerry, were meeting nearby and fled into a cornfield, fearing arrest. The returning British column faced thousands of angry militiamen, including the Marbleheaders, who fought them during their retreat along the Battle Road. This included a deadly stand at Menotomy (Arlington), where many patriots were slaughtered.

4. Washington's Ad Hoc Navy and the Formation of the Commander-in-Chief's Guard Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Upon George Washington's arrival in July 1775, the Continental Army suffered a critical shortage of black powder, forcing Washington to seek urgent supply solutions. He developed a unique trust with the Marbleheaders, whose nautical expertise he relied upon. Washington bypassed Congress to create his own Navy—a fleet of "cruisers" (including the Leeand the Warren) manned by Marblehead sailors, essentially perfect marines. Their primary goal was to intercept British transports laden with ordnance and powder. Captain John Manley, a Marbleheader, achieved a critical success, capturing one of the war's richest prizes—a ship filled with supplies that included a massive mortar used later at Dorchester Heights. Washington's Navy operated primarily out of Beverly, Massachusetts, a heavily defended, difficult-to-navigate, protected port. Additionally, Washington formed the Commander-in-Chief's Guard, or Lifeguard, which was an early precursor to the Secret Service, tasked with protecting the general and his papers. This handpicked volunteer unit was placed under the command of Marbleheader Caleb Gibbs.

5. Battling the Smallpox Pandemic: Dr. Bond and Washington's Strategic Inoculation Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware The Revolutionary War unfolded under the shadow of a smallpox pandemic. The virus devastated Marblehead after being brought in by fishing ships. Initial quarantine efforts failed, but Dr. Nathaniel Bond promoted inoculation. This dangerous 18th-century technique involved intentionally introducing a small amount of the virus into the body to create antibodies. Patriot efforts to establish an inoculation hospital on remote Cat Island were met with political violence when Loyalists organized a mob to storm the jail and torch the hospital while people were still inside. Later, following the Trenton and Princeton campaigns, the virus became a catastrophic threat, infecting and killing nearly 20% of Washington's army. Recognizing that the virus could destroy his fighting capability, Washington made the strategic decision to order Dr. Bond to establish inoculation hospitals. Bond set up these facilities and personally conducted inoculations, a move considered Washington's greatest strategic decision. Dr. Bond, who had once been ostracized for treating British soldiers, ultimately died as a result of his service to the Continental Army, having saved it through inoculation.

      6. The Miracle Evacuation: The Marbleheaders at the Battle of Long Island Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware After the defeat at the Battle of Long Island in August 1776, Washington's 9,000-man army was trapped at Brooklyn Heights, facing destruction by Lord Howe's forces. Washington decided upon a harrowing retreat across the swirling, mile-long East River—an evacuation described as one of the most difficult military maneuvers. Had the British succeeded in destroying the army here, the Revolution likely would have ended. The Marblehead Regiment was tasked with rowing the army across in small, inadequate boats. The success relied entirely on the unique skill set of the Marbleheaders, honed by fishing the deadly Grand Banks. Despite the wind and currents initially frustrating the operation, two timely atmospheric events aided them: the wind failed to shift in a way that would allow the British Navy to sail up the East River to intercept, and as dawn broke, a dense fog rolled in, screening the movements of the escaping army. Washington personally supervised the evacuation, enforcing order and being one of the last men to leave the shore.

7. The Indispensables at Trenton: Crossing the Ice-Filled Delaware River Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware On Christmas night 1776, Washington ordered his 2,400 men to cross the ice-filled Delaware River to attack Trenton. This "mission impossible" was only achieved due to the skill of the Marbleheaders in handling the Durham and flat-bottom boats, as all other attempts to cross the river that night failed. Their unique expertise, developed while fishing the Grand Banks, allowed them to manage the difficult currents and ice flows. The regiment was a diverse, unified team, including free men of color such as Caesar Gloverand Oliver Cromwell. After crossing in the nor'easter, the troops—many lacking shoes—marched toward Trenton. Glover's regiment was in the vanguard, marching down the river road. They secured the crucial Assunpink Creek bridge, ensuring the captured Hessians under Johann Rall had no means of retreat, leading to a decisive double envelopment victory. Days later, during the Second Battle of Trenton at Assunpink Creek, the remaining Marbleheaders held the bridge against repeated assaults by elite British grenadiers, allowing Washington to execute a feint and escape north toward Princeton. 8. The Legacy and Sacrifice of the Marbleheaders: From Bankruptcy to Monument Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Following the Trenton campaign, many Marbleheaders, exhausted and with enlistments expired, returned home, including John Glover, whose wife was ill. Marblehead suffered immense devastation post-war; the prosperous town went "bust," the industry declined, and many leading men went bankrupt. The sacrifice was tragic, resulting in nearly 400 widows by the war's end, with many bodies lost at sea. Washington eventually entreated Glover to return, promoting him to general, and Glover continued fighting until 1782. Today, the Marbleheaders' story is visible through remaining historic landmarks: John Glover's house has a plaque, the Jeremiah Lee mansion serves as part of the Marblehead Museum, and notable figures are buried in Old Burial Hill. In Trenton, a statue of Marbleheader John Russell is displayed, holding an oar to symbolize the famous Delaware crossing. Henry Knox paid tribute to the regiment, stating he wished Congress had seen the men of Marblehead alone stand forward to lead the army across the perilous river to achieve the victory at Trenton.

3. Treason, Spies, and Political Violence: The Revolution as a Raging Civil War Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware The Revolutionary War was characterized as a "raging civil war" where loyalists and patriots lived together, leading to intense political violence. Individuals were targeted based on perceived loyalties, a form of "cancel culture." Dr. Nathaniel Bond, a virus specialist, faced death threats and had his house surrounded by a mob after he treated wounded British soldiers following Lexington and Concord, simply following his Hippocratic oath. He was eventually exonerated after demanding a court martial. Internal betrayal was severe, exemplified by Dr. Benjamin Church, a medical doctor and influential leader who appeared to be an ardent patriot. Church, who was deep in debt, was actually General Gage's greatest spy. He sat on all major Massachusetts provincial committees, funneling crucial Patriot intelligence to Gage, informing the British general exactly where munitions were stored. Church communicated in cipher code and was known as a charming gambler and ladies' man who even faked his own involvement in battle by sprinkling blood on his stockings.

VIOLENT BIRTHRIGHT:    6/8 The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier-Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington Across the Delaware by  Patrick K. O'Donnell  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Indispensables-Marbleheads-Soldier-Mariners-Washington-Delaware/dp/0802156894 On the stormy night of August 29, 1776, the Continental Army faced capture or annihilation after losing the Battle of Brooklyn. The British had trapped George Washington's forces against the East River, and the fate of the Revolution rested upon the shoulders of the soldier-mariners from Marblehead, Massachusetts. Serving side by side in one of the country's first diverse units, they pulled off an “American Dunkirk” and saved the army by transporting it across the treacherous waters of the river to Manhattan. In the annals of the American Revolution, no group played a more consequential role than the Marbleheaders. At the right time in the right place, they repeatedly altered the course of events, and their story shines new light on our understanding of the Revolution. As acclaimed historian Patrick K.

The Indispensables: How the Marblehead Regiment Saved Washington's Army The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series

To mark Independence Day, Big Books and Bold Ideas is airing an encore presentation of Kerri Miller's conversation with historian Patrick O'Donnell about his 2024 book, “The Unvanquished.”The Civil War is remembered for its sweeping battles: Gettysburg, Atlanta, Antietam. Less known are the small troops of men, enlisted by both sides, to fight far from the battlefields.These ruthless soldiers relied on stealth to sneak behind enemy lines — often wearing their opponent's uniform — and destroyed supply lines, assassinated military officials and gathered critical information.Today, we know this kind of warfare as shadow ops — which is a specialty of military historian Patrick K. O'Donnell. A roadside marker he happened to see in rural Virginia ignited years of research into the Civil War-era special forces who were tasked by President Lincoln to undertake spy operations and secrete missions against Confederate units.This week, he joined MPR News host Kerri Miller on Big Books and Bold ideas to talk about his book, “The Unvanquished,” which masterfully tells the story of this forgotten chapter of history.Guest:Patrick K. O'Donnell is a bestselling military historian and an expert on elite units. He is the author of thirteen books, including “The Indispensables,” “The Unknowns” and “Washington's Immortals.” His new book is “The Unvanquished.”Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.
