Maple AI cofounder here.
I'm glad that more people are starting to care about privacy with AI. We've watched a few companies enter this space so far, and yet we are still the only one who goes all the way with letting users verify the code for themselves.
You can see our client and server code on GitHub. The client shows you the cryptographic proof that it is connected to the code you see on GitHub. If it's not, the client refuses to connect. Any user is able to make a reproducible build of the code and get the same cryptographic proof.
Think of it as the new version of SSL, that 🔒 lock icon next to the website address in your browser.
http -> https -> httpse (secure enclaves)

Yes, there are people who still don't want to trust secure enclaves. They are always able to run local AI models. The trade off is slower AI that is less accurate. Do what fits your risk profile.
Maple AI gives you the power of cloud compute with near local privacy. And it still stands out unique from the crowd of private AIs as giving you full visibility into how your encrypted data is handled.
Feel free to drop any questions here or tag me else where. I'm very active on Nostr and dedbird.
I agree. Unfortunately they’re all in on Services now, so if it can’t do Apple Music, they aren’t interested
Fun fact: Independent music on nostr:nprofile1qqszy58kj62v9fpe98nhuh0q76np4e0r0g0wd44rhth3wphdnyqjfzcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn90s22gg works with iPods.
Still have one as well. I wish they still sold even the small Shuffle
Mad respect to this shop owner for still rocking the iPod. Those were simpler times.
This is great. Other implications for it within the corporate/org world too

Zero desire to listen to Tucker. What’s the gist?
Same. And the amount of emails just grows. NGU
We just sent out our first marketing newsletter for nostr:nprofile1qyjhwumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0dakku62ltamx2mn5w4ex2ucpxpmhxue69uhkjarrdpuj6em0d3jx2mnjdajz6en4wf3k7mn5dphhq6rpva6hxtnnvdshyctz9e5k6tcqyp7u8zl8y8yfa87nstgj2405t2shal4rez0fzvxgrseq7k60gsrx6zeuh5t. When you want to honor privacy of your users, it makes mailing lists tricky. Every service out there unlocks tracking and snooping by default and some don't let you turn it off at all.
Here's how we did it:
1. Email addresses remained in the same system as our user registration for Maple, not shared with new providers
2. Links in the newsletter do not contain click tracking. That means you can hover over the link and see the true URL it resolves to
3. No tracking pixel
4. Images in the newsletter load from our trymaple.ai domain
5. Unsubscribe is easy and encouraged. If you don't want these emails, we don't want to send them to you
Enjoy the newsletter...or don't! I don't care.

Being married and having children both changed the way I view the world for the better.
You have to look at them long term, similar to Bitcoin. Day to day, there are ups and downs with amazing moments and incredible frustration. Long term, they are the most rewarding and value-driving things in my life.
Who’s gonna be first? nostr:npub10hpcheepez0fl5uz6yj4taz659l0ag7gn6gnpjquxg84kn6yqeksxkdxkr
If you paid with Stripe, yes. If it's Bitcoin, email support@opensecret.cloud and we can do it quickly.

Nostr and Bitcoin users sending freedom money from anywhere in the world to help fellow humankind put their lives back together in an even a small way, it’s amazing. I am clearing my Primal Wallet because you’ve filled it up again 🫡
I tell everyone we help that these were made possible by Nostr and Bitcoin plebs from around the world, most of whom I’ve never met and will never meet. One person wanted your address so she could send you notes. It wasn’t the time to explain cryptographic signing of notes and other stuff 😉 Know that all of your zaps, even the small ones, matter to the me and to the people here.
I do hope to meet more of you in person at future meetups and events. 🤙 🤘

That is our household too, nachos are a staple. Do you have a basic recipe for that? Would love to give it a try
Ah man, sorry that happened to you as well. Apparently screen repair is not possible due to the way it is assembled. So we have to live with it or buy another one.
Wish I had a case that I could have used with it to protect it better.

Austin North Floods Update - Helping Individuals
Dozens of crews continue to search for missing persons amidst miles of debris. They've asked regular civilians to find alternative ways to help, so we're speaking with individual residents to determine their current needs. Many people have had their homes washed away, with some even finding random vehicles in their yards, upside down, and their homes badly damaged, with all their possessions gone.
One such resident is Jane (name changed for this post), who has a unique story. She does wildlife animal rehabilitation on her property, caring for kittens, dogs, foxes, armadillos, skunks, raccoons, birds, opossums, owls, and bats. She takes in animals in need, nurses them back to health, and then reintroduces them to the wild. In 2024 alone, she and her partner rehabbed and released over 300 animals.
When the sudden flash floods hit in the middle of the night, much of her rehab area and equipment was washed away, along with the chicken coop containing 30 hens, a barn, and 50 established pecan trees. You can read her story in her own words in the attached screenshot. All that is left is incredible devastation of mangled steel and tree remnants.
There are weeks of cleanup needed at her location alone, but she emphasized that there's much more to be done first to help those who are missing and whose homes have been destroyed.
Nevertheless, we provided her with essential tools to get the cleanup started, as her original tools were washed away with the sheds. These included a chainsaw, machete, crowbar, hand saws, and more.
She wants to express her immense gratitude to everyone who sent Bitcoin to help with these tools, and I share her appreciation. Your contributions are being put to use in helping people whose lives have been turned upside down and are still trying to process everything.
The process of search, recovery, cleanup, and rebuilding is ongoing.
We spent $750 on this trip, with approximately $400 of it going here. The remaining tools will be used at the Big Sandy Bridge location, where crews are still searching for people under debris.
Thank you, Nostr friends 💜

First supply drop off for Sandy Creek Austin Floods. Thanks to all the bitcoiners around the world who donated over $1,100 so far! (Over 0.01 BTC). N America, Europe, Africa, S America! Those are just the ones I know. Thank you!
People are still missing 🙁. Yesterday they found the body of a 15 year old boy who played in the band at our rival high school. 😢
We spent $430 on much needed worksite supplies of gloves, contractor bags, goggles, and heavy duty socks. When we dropped them off at RM Baptist they were grateful, “We need these! People drop off other things that we have too much of! Thank you!”
People asked for the address again, here it is

Going back in tomorrow to help with cleanup because we got booted today due to danger of another water surge.
Spread the word. For people affected by the floods, you can call (512) 201-4814 to get the Crisis Cleanup hotline.
They'll schedule cleanup crews to muck homes, clear debris, etc. You might get my wife when you call 😄
Everyone else, you can also help by volunteering to answer these phone calls or sign up for a cleaning crew. Link below.
(disaster photos are from this morning's livestream from @DocumentingATX on X) 
It’s a protocol not a platform. Right now too many people view it as the latter.
Companies and governments knowingly create storms and at the same time tell us citizens to turn off our cars at red lights to stop affecting the weather.

Update from the floods north of Austin. I stopped by the Round Mountain Baptist church this morning to help. They have dozens of firefighters performing Search and Recovery. They've asked untrained civilians to stay back from the search itself.
While I was there, a young woman interrupted our conversation to report two new names of missing people. The names were added to the list and search efforts continued. 💔
Lots of supplies have been dropped off from clothing to water to food. They are overwhelmed with the response from the community and are kindly asking people to hold back for now.
Also communicated a bit with @DocumentingATX on X who has been on the ground since this all started. He said supplies will be needed after Search and Recovery is done and we start to assess what residents really need. He's a great account to follow and support.
Thanks to all the amazing Bitcoin friends around the world who have sent in funds, y'all are amazing! I've been both shocked but also not surprised by the outpouring of support. It's what Bitcoiners do!
I've been talking with multiple groups to find the best ways to put the funds to use and am being told they will be needed here soon – to sit tight and stay ready.
Good news! 2 girls were just found alive 30 feet up a tree. That's gotta boost spirits of the search crews.
Spreading the word. If you’re in Austin and want to get your hands and boots dirty, organizations are starting to mobilize. Here’s one from the Salvation Army
These are going off throughout the day and night
I drive this bridge everyday. The water is normally 30 feet below.
We aren’t sure how to help just yet because the rain is still coming down. I’m reaching out to my local network of people and we are organizing to help when we can.
My Bitcoin friends online have asked how they can help. I’ve got a Bitcoin and Lightning address open for donations. Anything given will be spent 100% on supplies like water, food, medical supplies, cleaning products, etc to give out as we help with cleanup.

Completely, 100% functional on Android. I use it daily on there.
The app and web app are identical at the moment, so us Android users can do "Add to Home Screen" to get an app-like experience. Once we have functionality that is app-only, we'll likely make a full Android app
