Everything old is new again. After delivering technology over the last 20 years to seamlessly offload arbitrary computation to a distributed cluster of dedicated hardware, managed entirely transparently by people you've never met, yes let's just go back to slow, local compute because that's "cooler" now or something.

- liuliu 3y agoIt is a lie that we tell people "your compute is offloaded to the cloud" until now. User-centric heavy compute in the past 20 years simply don't happen in "the cloud". Monetization and engagement tricks yes (ads bidding, behavior analysis, friend / content recommendations, content recompression), but not user-centric ones.
