earthlingQuote from the podcast:
"Back in 1945, there was this incredibly brilliant mathematician, John von Neumann and he was staring down the reality of the atomic bomb, the one he was actively helping to build.
He basically said, "What we are creating right now is a monster, a monster whose influence is going to change history,
*provided there is any history left.*"
Rich> But then von Neumann abruptly switched from talking about the power of the atom to the power of machines that he thought were 'going to become not only more important but indispensable.
> ‘We will be able to go into space way beyond the moon if only people could keep pace with what they create,’ he said. And he worried that if we did not, those same machines could be more dangerous than the bombs he was helping to build.
We shoulda stayed at the vacuum tube level. #vonNeumann

amen zwa, esq.In 1945, #vonNeumann proposed the bus-based #computer #architecture, an advanced #Turing Machine, as it were.
In 1977, #Backus, the father of the first high-level language, FORTRAN, advocated abandoning the "von Neumann bottleneck" and adopting the architecture that is aligned with the FP model.
In 2025, the world is still squeezing itself through the von Neumann bottleneck, still using PP+OO von Neumann languages.
In computing, most things are perennial, but some things are perpetual, for good or ill.

N-gated Hacker News🎉💡 Attention all tech dinosaurs! 🦖 The von Neumann #architecture is apparently the villain of today's AI woes. Who would've guessed that a decision made when bell-bottoms were in fashion still haunts us today? 🕺🔧
