@steipete @iamlukasniessen @rasbt You shouldn’t be too enthusiastic about anything at conferences in Germany 🥴 Still remember a presenter asking the audience after a new upcoming feature reveal: „How does this sound?!“ All quiet except for one guy in the front row saying out loud: „Unrealistic!“ 😅

[Christoph Atteneder @chrisattee]

@RoboWunderkind Is the AI curriculum also available for personal use? I’ll be hosting a free coding and AI workshop for my son’s class using my Cubetto and Robo Wunderkind kits, and I’d love to take a look at your curriculum for inspiration 😊

[Christoph Atteneder @chrisattee]

@steipete Die erste Episode, die ich in einer Session durchschauen musste! 👍 Hoffentlich fällt in Zukunft nicht zu viel Innovationsgeist der Corporate Culture zum Opfer 😬

[Vercel @vercel]

We just released 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚝-𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝-𝚙𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚎𝚜, a repo for coding agents.

📣🚨 BAT SIGNAL: A law in France that would mandate a backdoor in end to end encrypted communications is set for a vote within the next day, after some start-stop skirmishes. 

The French Narcotraffic law would require encrypted communications providers—like Signal—create a backdoor by giving the government the ability to add themselves to any group or chat they like. In the name of (checks notes) fighting drug trafficking. 

While those hyping this bad law have rushed to assure French politicians that the proposal isn’t’ ‘breaking encryption’ their arguments are as tedious as they are stale as they are laughable. For those catching up, let’s review the basics: end to end encryption must only have two ‘ends’—sender and recipient(s). Otherwise, it is backdoored. Whatever method is devised to add a ‘third end’ —from a perverted PRNG in a cryptographic protocol, to vendor-provided government software grafted onto the side of secure communications that allow said government to add themselves to your chats—it rips a hole in the hull of private communications and is a backdoor. 

Indeed, the ghost participant proposal was roundly rebuked (humiliated, even) when it was first proposed in 2019 in the UK. The technical community was united, and it was never implemented in law or otherwise. 

We cannot accept any backdoor, however it’s dressed up. Communications don’t stay within jurisdictional boundaries. Which means a hole created in France becomes a vector for anyone wanting to undermine Signal’s robust privacy guarantees, anywhere. Instead of contending with unbreakable math, they only have to compromise a French government employee, or the vendor-provided software used to sideload government operatives into your private chats. 

This is why, as always, Signal would exit the French market before it would comply with this law as written. At this moment especially, there is simply too much riding on Signal, on our being able to forge a future in which private communication persists, to allow such pernicious undermining. 

We hope—WE HOPE—that this callow, dishonest attack will fail, and will be the last. We would love to get back to the work of maintaining and improving our core technologies, instead of fighting legislation which is distinguished in nothing as much as its refusal to listen to decades of expert consensus in its drive to imperil global cybersecurity and the human right of privacy.
