IIRC the thermodynamic lower bound is ln 2 kT per bit of final output; for the human genome size that's well under 10^-10 J. Reversible computing may be far off

IIRC the thermodynamic lower bound is ln 2 kT per bit of final output; for the human genome size that's well under 10^-10 J. Reversible computing may be far off, but I wouldn't assume it's farther off than evolving our successors. (The paper doesn't mention any of this.)
