Whither the Chip Shortage?


Do you remember the global chip shortage? Somehow it seems so long ago, but it’s not even really been three years yet. Somehow, I had entirely forgotten about it, until two random mentions about it popped up in short succession, and brought it all flooding back like a repressed bad dream.

Playing the role of the ghost-of-chip-shortage-past was a module for a pair of FPV goggles. There are three versions of the firmware available for download at the manufacturer’s website, and I had to figure out which I needed. I knew it wasn’t V1, because that was the buggy receiver PCB that I had just ordered the replacement for. So it was V2 or V3, but which?

Digging into it, V2 was the version that fixed the bug, and V3 was the redesign around a different microcontroller chip, because they couldn’t get the V2 one during the chip shortage.

I saw visions of desperate hackers learning new toolchains, searching for alternative parts, finding that they could get that one chip, but that there were only 20 of them left and they were selling for $30 instead of $1.30. I know a lot of you out there were designing through these tough couple years, and you’ve all probably got war stories.

And yet here we are, definitively post-chip-shortage. How can you be sure? A $30 vape pen includes a processor that we would have killed for just three years ago. The vape includes a touchscreen, just because. And it even has a Bluetooth LE chip that it’s not even using. My guess is that the hardware designers just put it in there hoping that the firmware team would get around to using it for something.

This vape has 16 MB of external SPI Flash! During the chip shortage, we couldn’t even get 4 MB SPI flash.

It’s nice to be on the other side of the chip shortage. Just order whatever parts you want and you get them, but don’t take for granted how luxurious that feels. Breathe easy, and design confidently. You can finally use that last genuine STM32F103 blue pill board without fear of it being the last one on earth.

La nave spia russa Yantar ha monitorato per mesi i cavi sottomarini


La nave oceanografica russa Yantar, spesso descritta in Occidente come una “nave spia”, ha completato un viaggio di tre mesi lungo le coste europee, durante il quale ha seguito rotte che coincidono con alcune delle principali infrastrutture di comunicazione e approvvigionamento energetico.

L’analisi del Financial Times, basata su immagini satellitari e dati del Sistema di Identificazione Automatica (AIS), indica che l’imbarcazione si è soffermata in aree strategiche come il Mare d’Irlanda e l’arcipelago delle Svalbard, zone in cui transitano cavi sottomarini vitali per la NATO.
Nave russa Yantar

Un’unità segreta del Ministero della Difesa russo


Lo Yantar appartiene alla Flotta del Nord ma opera sotto la supervisione della Direzione Generale per la Ricerca in Acque Profonde (GUGI), un’unità del Ministero della Difesa russo creata durante la Guerra Fredda e considerata altamente riservata. Secondo fonti citate dal quotidiano britannico, il GUGI agisce in stretta connessione con l’intelligence militare russa (GRU), piuttosto che con la Marina, che fornisce solo supporto tecnico.

La base principale dell’unità si trova a Olenya Guba, nella regione di Murmansk, lungo la costa del Mare di Barents, sorvegliata da decenni dalla CIA. Le difese del sito sono state recentemente rafforzate con barriere navali e sistemi di disturbo dei segnali GPS, che rendono difficile anche la navigazione civile nelle vicinanze.

La nave è dotata di veicoli sottomarini telecomandati e bracci meccanici in grado di collegarsi ai cavi posati sui fondali marini, consentendo intercettazioni o potenziali operazioni di sabotaggio. Gli esperti ritengono che il suo obiettivo principale sia l’individuazione dei nodi in cui convergono più linee, così da massimizzare l’impatto di un eventuale attacco.

Il Financial Times sottolinea che, dopo l’invasione russa dell’Ucraina nel 2022, la Yantar ha ridotto i viaggi di lunga durata, probabilmente per timore di un’escalation con i paesi occidentali o a causa delle sanzioni. Tuttavia, nel novembre 2024 ha ripreso le missioni estese, completando un percorso di 97 giorni attraverso zone infrastrutturali critiche dell’Atlantico europeo.

Infrastrutture a rischio


Le reti di cavi sottomarini hanno un ruolo centrale nella sicurezza e nell’economia globale. Nel Regno Unito, il 99% delle comunicazioni digitali transita attraverso cavi in fibra ottica sui fondali, mentre i gasdotti sottomarini forniscono circa il 75% dell’approvvigionamento nazionale. Le stesse linee sono cruciali anche per le transazioni finanziarie internazionali e le comunicazioni militari tra Stati Uniti e Regno Unito.

La vulnerabilità di queste infrastrutture è al centro delle preoccupazioni delle marine occidentali. Secondo David Fields, ex addetto navale britannico a Mosca, la strategia russa punta a colpire rapidamente le reti critiche, causando blackout, interruzioni di corrente o blocchi delle comunicazioni, con conseguenze politiche e sociali potenzialmente destabilizzanti.

Il Segretario alla Difesa britannico John Healey ha denunciato pubblicamente la “crescente aggressività russa”, dopo che la Yantar è stata avvistata due volte nelle acque territoriali britanniche nell’ultimo anno. Nel frattempo, Londra ha intensificato i pattugliamenti e avviato lo sviluppo del sistema Atlantic Bastion, progettato per monitorare i fondali marini. L’Irlanda, considerata un punto vulnerabile perché fuori dalla NATO, ha stanziato 60 milioni di euro per un sistema sonar in grado di rilevare minacce subacquee.

Episodi collegati


Le attività russe hanno attirato attenzione anche in altre aree. In Finlandia, la Procura nazionale ha incriminato il capitano e due membri dell’equipaggio della petroliera Eagle S, accusati di aver danneggiato deliberatamente i cavi elettrici tra Finlandia ed Estonia.

L’imbarcazione, parte della cosiddetta “flotta ombra” russa, è stata inserita nella lista nera dell’India.

This video was posted two years ago, and in the timeframe where Nancy Pelosi’s husband was assaulted by a guy who intended to torture / assault her. Texas Paul’s op-eds are on point. I think this one is up there the ones I’ve ever watched. Absolutely relevant today.

i like so much so many of the photos that you publish here, that i kinda suffer i can't boost them because they have no description (i mean this: fedi.tips/how-do-i-make-posts-…, and they could just be sketchy and brief), but if you don't feel like doing them, i'll just understand.

As part of our #Hackathon we will have two online sessions to hack on @coopcloud together:
- Friday 3rd of October 19 UTC
- Saturday 4th of October 9 UTC

We want to focus on recipe maintainability. This is a topic that is actively discussed and worked on, by many people in the #federation.
Other topics are welcomed as well of course 😀

I remember a book on topology (published or unpublished? maybe only online?) for which I can't find a reference or a link.

Can you help?

In any case, it is a book that has no proofs.

The idea of the book is to create a sequence of lemmas, each of which is obvious, so that the diligent students can prove them, either on paper or in their own heads, and what is important is not the proofs, but the sequence of lemmas leading to the theorems.

Coming up with the sequence of lemmas which need no creative proof is the creative contribution of this book.

But I can't find it.

Anyway, I learned something from it, at that time.

Namely that what matters about a proof is that each step is obvious and meaningful.

When you write a proof, break it up in meaningful self-proving lemmas. Then it will be very readable and meaningful.

But this is easier said than done, of course (like everything).

in reply to Martin Escardo

that's a very interesting idea, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on it.

Conversation over." The post discusses Appalachian history and culture, emphasizing the region's struggle against coal companies and federal authorities. It highlights the Appalachian people's resilience and solidarity with marginalized communities, stating, "Appalachians have a natural birthright duty to stand hand in hand with any downtrodden people." The post concludes with a strong statement about the importance of remembering the struggles of Appalachian ancestors.
