Distribution
This marine species occurs off the Bahamas.
gollark: I'm willing to do this with *some* things, but not data storage, because then I would lose data.
gollark: I'm sure someone is working on this. High-performance stuff is actually quite power-constrained nowadays.
gollark: The obvious* solution is to liquid-cool the insides of the dies with accursed microfluidics things.
gollark: But the silicon itself isn't very conductive, as far as I know. Improving transfer between the dies will help, but not fix it entirely.
gollark: It's not very thermally conductive though, right? So the underlying die might get warm.
