A note to applicants to PhD student positions. Do not write it with ChatGPT. We still read the applications ourselves and it takes about 30s to figure out if it's by ChatGPT.

Many German universities have a so-called “civil clause” which forbids research benefiting the military. The author of the article arguing for an end of this practice is president of a Munich university.

(S+) Meinung: Aufrüstung: Universitäten sollten die militärische Forschung verstärken - Meinung

Wer den Frieden sichern will, muss ihn verteidigen können. Dazu braucht es die Wissenschaft. Forschung sollte stärker als bisher auch militärisch genutzt werden.

:) Read the definition then - "resource constraints" -> not enough chicken fillet. Chicken fillet is a resource; dangerously low in the fridge is a constraint. :)

Janis Stirna @janisstirna.bsky.social · Aug 24

Food insecurity is when I’m not sure whether the chicken fillet in the fridge that’s allocated to the cat will be enough for this evening’s and tomorrow morning’s serving or should I go to the shops right now. Because running out of it is not an option.

A good illustration from Sweden of how military scale-up is not a problem you can simply throw money at:

The Swedish defence forces are paying back 2.1bn Swedish crowns (€1.9 million) to the state budget as they were unable to use all the money allocated to the defence budget

Försvaret betalar tillbaka två miljarder till statskassan

Försvarsmakten klarade inte av att göra slut på sina anslag förra året. Två miljarder kronor kommer nu att få betalas tillbaka till staten.
