Driven by ever-increasing application demands, the energy expended per A/D conversion has improved substantially over the last decade. This paper surveys the most recent trends and investigates practical energy limits of A/D converter architectures that are commonly employed in fine-line CMOS technology. We observe that today's most efficient converters operate at about two orders of magnitude above the classical 8kT·SNR thermal limit. Furthermore, it is shown that a large fraction of today's designs have approached ideal thermal limit lines, corresponding to a four-fold increase in energy per bit of resolution.

“…Thus, for example, the universe (or some region of space) cannot merely be such that Caesar was assassinated, it has to be such that Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC on the Ides of March, Roman standard time. 19 Let's now assess this sort of reply to the truthmaker objection. The first thing to note is that both Lucretius' and Bigelow's proposals seem designed to meet the four structural constraints outlined above.…”

Presentism, Truthmakers, and God

Abstract:The truthmaker objection to presentism (the view that only what exists now exists simpliciter) is that it lacks sufficient metaphysical resources to ground truths about the past. In this paper I identify five constraints that an adequate presentist response must satisfy. In light of these constraints, I examine and reject responses by Bigelow, Keller, Crisp, and Bourne. Consideration of how these responses fail, however, points toward a proposal that works; one that posits God's memories as truthmakers for truths about the past. I conclude that presentists have, in the truthmaker objection, considerable incentive to endorse theism.p apq_1328 41..62
