Why Reversible Computing Could Save Moore’s Law [Mini Episode]

Seve (founder of tscircuit) and Matt (founder of atopile) unpack one of the most radical ideas in modern electronics: reversible computing. As Moore’s Law slows down, the biggest bottleneck is heat — but what if computation itself could be rethought to conserve energy instead of wasting it?

In this episode, they explore:

* The principles of reversible/thermodynamic computing

* How MOSFET charge recycling offers a real-world analogy

* Why reinventing chip architectures (CUDA, ISAs, RISC-V) is so challenging

* The promise and pitfalls of open-source hardware ecosystems

* Lessons from Meta Connect’s failed demos and the future of hardware/software integration

* Why “hard tech” founders still matter in a software-driven world

For hardware engineers, embedded developers, and anyone curious about the future of chips, this episode connects deep insights into electronics with the big questions of computing’s next era.
