Description

The size of an adult shell varies between 10 mm and 20 mm.

gollark: In relative or absolute terms?

gollark: If you're offloading all your complex real-time computing somewhere else, then currently that means you'll probably just burn away the power savings on running your device's 4G radios and have it randomly break when bandwidth drops low enough.

gollark: The nice thing about advancing technology is that it gets more feasible as time goes on.

gollark: There *are* dedicated "AI accelerators" on modern SoCs, too, maybe that could help.

gollark: And mobile processors tend to improve in efficiency as time goes on, and then the gains get used to just make the phones thinner and run more useless background services or something.
