2026-03-29 02:32:17 UTC

my local county supe tried to dunk on me about tech. Here's my essay I wrote him in reply to "Your node doesn’t connect to the web ? Your phone doesn’t connect to the web? "
------------------
Excellent point! Many people didn't have electricity or AC before it came out. Many many years later the technology got to a point where it was widely usable by everyone. We're seeing a similar trajectory with the "web".
The "web" is a very nascent technology. Older than me but likely younger than you. It began with large mainframes using telephone lines to transmit data bit by bit. It gradually grew over time as more people connected to the "web". Each new connection added nodes and eventually there became a need to route between the nodes, similar to how mail works. You can exchange packets between nodes and have multiple "hops" along the way to your destination. We developed algorithms for routing this information in a way that was resilient and also fast. We made routing information human readable so we don't need to remember numbers. This allowed individuals and companies the ability have things like gary.com be easy for browsing the web by humans.
As the web built itself out, companies would run their own computer servers and join the ever growing web. But the hardware required specialized labor and cost to maintain. Entire departments of companies were dedicated to infrastructure of any "web" presence. Since it's economically rational for companies to focus on making money, they often outsource things they don't specialize in. Enter the "cloud" (which is just someone else's computer). Cloud pioneers saw that there was profit to be made by removing the burden of running "web" infrastructure for other businesses and people. This birthed AWS and many other cloud providers. They specialized in "web" and sold their services (infra as a service, platform as a service, software as a service) to businesses and people who didn't want to deal with hard drives and software engineers. This lead to hyper-commoditization of hardware. Cloud providers made it easier and cheaper to just replace instead of repair, all the while collecting MASSIVE profit margins. Once software is written and running, it can be sold over and over again.
Now this is where it gets interesting, throughout all of this time, there was very large time investment to get software off the ground. Custom shops like Microsoft had built a huge moat around this. But information wants to be free and open source projects won out against proprietary software. This is why Linux runs the web and not Microsoft Server. When engineers from around the world work on open source software projects, everyone can benefit. The cost (time and otherwise) can be distributed. There's no reason to build it in house, if there's a free version that works just the same or better. This is a big reason why cloud providers are able to make boatloads of money.
Now we're at the point where we have commoditized hardware that is relatively fast and abundant. And we have software that is freely available and supported by enthusiasts and professionals alike. This means you can become your own cloud. You can take a modern (or even last 5 years) laptop or computer and run appropriate software that allows you to connect directly to your peers. You're correct in understanding that this post is on some data center, but that's because Facebook offers it for free so they can capture and sell all of our data. We are the product here. But I often use technology that avoids centralized servers and don't require data centers. if I can't run it myself, I can connect directly to my friends devices that can run it for me. This connection does not route through a data center.
Now enter AI. And that intense cost for software is plummeting. Anyone can use plain language to get desired outcomes. It's been clunky and weird and required big robust compute to run, but recent advances are making it so AI can run on consumer devices just as easily as they run in a data center (see https://research.google/.../turboquant-redefining-ai.../ for a recent example). The open source AI models can and will be run by anyone with a desire to run them and they'll be wielded to great effect. The "web" is forever changed by AI and our technological future is bright, but first we will suffer some growing pains, as any nascent technology does (remember email scams from Nigerian princes?).
Now that we're caught up on history, back to your original question: Your node doesn't connect to the web?
It does! It just doesn't connect to a data center, it connects to other nodes, some of which I know personally the owner. There is networking gear that lives outside of data centers that all devices use, whether they are in a data center or not. It's not a one way street to Ashburn and then elsewhere. There are switches and routers at various levels of the networking stack scattered throughout the world that provide just networking for the "web". And any computer (in a data center or not) has long used these networking routes just fine without a man-in-the-middle data center.
The internet started with massive computers but I don't see it ending with massive computers (data centers). Compute and storage will only get smaller, cheaper, faster with time and networking infrastructure will continue to be developed between entities and locales without needing a central checkpoint. (my friends deployed off-grid radios in Western NC during Helene relief efforts). Sure, we will have us-east-1 in Ashburn still, but the necessity for dense compute is dwindling. There will still be use for it, but most people that aren't trying to crack the matrix will suffice with off the shelf hardware running a local AI that drives a personalized computing experience.
(for a concrete example of a project that enables peer2peer connections, you can see: https://www.iroh.computer/ as an example)
