Honestly, very reasonable ask, you're not the first person to ask for a self-hosted version. We have a privacy policy we've drafted that is up-to-date with the current version of the product https://www.ensue-network.ai/privacy-policy.
The project is still in alpha, so you could shape what we build next - what do you need to see, or what gets you comfortable sending proprietary code to other external services?
> what do you need to see, or what gets you comfortable sending proprietary code to other external services?
Honestly? It just has to be local.
At work, we have contracts with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google with isolated/private hosting requirements, coupled with internal, custom, private API endpoints that enforce our enterprise constraints. Those endpoints perform extensive logging of everything, and reject calls that contain even small portions of code if it's identified as belonging to a secret/critical project.
There's just no way we're going to negotiate, pay for, and build something like that for every possible small AI tooling vendor.
And at home, I feed AI a ton of personal/private information, even when just writing software for my own use. I also give the AI relatively wide latitude to vibe-code and execute things. The level of trust I need in external services that insert themselves in that loop is very high. I'm just not going to insert a hard dependency on an external service like this -- and that's putting aside the whole "could disappear / raise prices / enshittify at any time" aspect of relying on a cloud provider.
Yeah I get the dependency concern, and also I think about the trust and pricing challenge a lot. I might be getting ahead of my skis here, but living in a future world, assuming there is a local service, what would you want to see with a context management service for your team to actually use it? Or even better - pay for it?
> Ok. So you stop bombing. How do you get the hostages back?
I'm assuming "the hostages" you're referring to are the tens of hostages held by Hamas and the thousands of hostages held by israel. I've provided an answer to this question here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44718080
> not a real answer
According to who? Seems like a real answer to me, and I'm not sure you're the grand supreme decider of real answers :)
How do you get the hostages back with the bombing?
Oh, you are going to say, "that's to prevent future fighters from capturing future hostages", I guess?
But wait, we know that today's bombings are making future fighters, so, really, what's the plan??
You know, the evening of the 9/11 I remember spending the whole night depressing, thinking "omg, now the US are going to wage war all around the globe, my son will grow up in a terrible place". Because how could the military behemoth answer in any other way? And sure enough, that's what happened.
After the 7th of October, I had similar thoughts: "omg, now Israel is going to act stupid and make Jews hated again".
I've lost friends who had to leave my country because of antisemitism. I've also had my life threatened by right wing extremist zionists. So at least take my words on this: The first and most natural answer to violence and hated is more violence and hatred, universally. If that's not what you want for the next generation make the first move to stop it.
You’d be surprised at how adept the younger generation can be, especially those who’ve grown up with technology. As tech evolves, so do they. There are kids who genuinely apply themselves, and because they’ve been immersed in this environment, it’s practically second nature to them. I remember the late 1990s: I was young, but more than anything, I was curious about how things worked, I had the luxury of time, and access to technology to explore it. I started coding in C++ when I was around 13, and honestly, I still feel like I started too late.
There are also a lot more kids doing this than before. Like, I was one of 12(?) students in our high school AP Comp Sci course, then just one year after, 120 students took the same course.
You can't manufacture desire. Do you think people want to collect garbage or climb radio towers? Raising compensation until you can convince desperate people that the risk to their mental health is worth that amount of money is as close as you get.
