When a Good Theory meets a Bad Idealization: The Failure of the Thermodynamics of Computation

svantana: It's an interesting article but I fail to see the point they are trying to make. I always thought of reversible computing as a sort of platonic ideal that cannot truly exist in real life, but the principle can still be used to reduce waste heat and energy use. For example, it will be interesting to see if the chips from Vaire ever become practically useful:https://vaire.co/https://spectrum.ieee.org/reversible-computing
