#israel #palestine : #gaza / #humanitarianaid / #blockade / #dualuse
„Israel continues to define thousands of critical humanitarian items as “dual-use,” blocking or severely limiting their entry to Gaza. The restrictions are deadly and violate Israel’s obligations under #internationallaw.“

Die Ukraine greift Wildberries-Logistikzentren an, mit der Begründung, die Infrastruktur des größten russischen Onlinehändlers werde auch militärisch genutzt: für Drohnenteile, Navigationstechnik, Nachschub. Im modernen Krieg verschwimmt die Grenze zwischen ziviler und militärischer Infrastruktur. #Ukraine #Russland #Wildberries #Krieg #DualUse #Infrastruktur

There is a recent agronomic article that makes this case...
The conclusion as I recall was: we would save or generate much more power by putting the same acreage to use for solar. This is not desirable (IMO) on such a large scale, but the point is a good one. No reason not to start.
There are other proposals for "dual cropping" with #solar providing partial shade for crops that need it.
Then there is the obvious dual land use of putting solar over #parkinglots. Keeping our vehicles out of the sun and rain would be win-win! 🙂
I think the State of #California has already started to cover their miles of #aqueducts with solar. Again #dualuse since the shade cuts down on water loss thru evaporation. 💧
So much to do. So much that can be done once we make the societal paradigm shift. 👍

„Friedliches“ Uran für militärische Zwecke? Linke fragt Bundesregierung
Darf der zivile Urankonzern URENCO, an dem deutsche Unternehmen beteiligt sind und über den auch die Bundesregierung samt VETO-Rechten eine Kontrollfunktion ausübt, künftig für britische Atom-U-Boote Kernbrennstoff

Dual-use research, linking civilian and security applications, is cited more often than purely civilian science, according to a large-scale analysis of US patents and publications.

Latvia’s drone industry reaches international growth milestone
Latvia highlighted a strategic foreign acquisition in its drone sector, framing it as one of the country’s major 2026 defence and dual-use technology wins.

Another #Lifehack Ever heard of thinking—using your own mind/brain—is a “free"! Lifehack that can spark happiness xD… but it can also tip you into sadness xD. So it’s a dual-use technology with a dual edge. 🧠⚖️ #LifeHacks #Mindset #MentalHealth #DualUse

Talk about #dualUse. Trying to break embryo editing prohibitions by solving cystic fibrosis is like trying to break privacy to solve child abuse, or getting scientists to solve land mines & fire fighting with robots & drones as if those wouldn’t then be highly effective weapons. #humanEnhancement 1/

🧬🖥️ How do we keep #AI in #genomics safe?
A new paper coauthored by #RKI researchers explores risks such as data bias, quality issues, and #DualUse potential in #GenAI. It highlights how these risks emerge along the innovation pipeline and outlines strategies for safer, responsible use.

Quindi, in Italia, se fai il nucleare non puoi impedire che poi lo userai in guerra.
..."l’emendamento presentato da Avs, che chiedeva di «limitare l’uso del nucleare ai soli scopi civili nella ricerca e nella produzione dell’energia» è stato respinto". La bocciatura "dimostra che il governo Meloni vuole tenersi aperta la porta anche agli usi militari".

Just realised that installing #solar panels as roofs over motorways and railways would not only aid in climate protection, but might actually be a #DualUse technology.
In #Ukraine, russian drones have proven to be a grave threat to anyone moving across open spaces, so – as far as I have heard – some roads are now protected by giant anti-drone nets.
Perhaps photovoltaic roofs would make it quicker to install such protections and would aid in concealing movement of refugees and troops? #PV

UK House of Lords seeks ban on Swiss Army Knives that “…could be used to cut people”
“We are not against pen knives in principle”, says peer, “…but we want manufacturers to take steps to prevent them being used to cause harm.”

#dualUse #feedTo “create” a chatbot or model that can “encourage” crime would be an offense punishable by 5 years imprisonment under amendments voted through (203 to 148) by the UK House of Lords.
This follows recommendations from the Center for Countering Digital Hate.
The imprecision in these proposals is appalling. Chatbots and language models can be goaded into saying bad things. When they’re used by billions of people, even the most cautious developers cannot exclude that risk. Criminalizing their development based on whether they generate any proscribed content (per sec. 1) is a garish attack on fundamental research and consumer technology.
Governments can uplevel AI safety in many ways, some of which are represented in this bill. But this kind of theatrical overreach is setting back meaningful reform. -

„Die zivile Atomkraft stellt Schlüsseltechniken und Schlüsselrohstoffe zum Bau von Atomwaffen zur Verfügung. Sie versetzt damit viele Staaten oder Organisationen in die Lage, binnen kurzer Zeit eigene Atomwaffen zu entwickeln.“
