  • Wouldn’t this make the units temperature-dependent?

    Landauer limit is one kTln2 per bit of information, so at 300K about 3 zeptojoule per bit.
    Dividing by c² we get 32 micro-quectogram per bit, so 32 yoctogram per terabit. 256 yoctogram per terabyte.
    The Author wants half a septillion terabytes, 0.5•10²⁴ terabytes, half a yotta-terabyte.
    That makes 128 grams.

    Since I don’t know what on earth “a cup of flour” is, I can’t judge if the comic character proposes a reasonable conversion, but 0.1kg seems like a reasonable amount to use in cooking.

    For baking I would rather have my units temperature dependent than density dependent (I can compact my flour or work with water or nuts, all having different densities, but my room temperature will always be roughly 300).
    I endorse einstein-landauer units.
