I don't understand how pneumatic tubes may be used to reclaim memory.

Baker can lay the groundwork for you:

Once you have a basic grasp of how to use thermodynamic statistical analysis to understand memory pressure (and other compute pressures), you can probably see how tubes could be helpful here.

Garbage collection is not a big truck. It's a series of tubes!

'pneumatic tubes' here refers to an algorithm developed by BigTech(TM), with the paper on PTA (pneumatic tubes algorithm) coming out any minute now.

When the memory needs to be disposed of you drop it in the tube.
