You see this with high level languages now. Memory management much less assembly are things of a bygone era.


“Memory management”, “bygone era.” The problem is you and many others probably think this is actually true.


It is true. Deal with it and get over it.

In 10 years, no trace of our current practices will remain in a recognizable form. It'll take longer than most of us think -- imagine how nonplussed Winograd and the rest of the SHRDLU-era AI gurus would have been to see how long it took to pull off the dice-matching trick in the video -- but when it does happen, it'll happen faster than we think. We're not yet at the tipping point, but it's close.
