Or the more human nine fives.

Not the OP, but AMS can be useful for loading and unloading filament, as well as automatically continuing a print job when you run out of one spool of the same filament. It's not just for multi-color prints, although that's obviously the primary use case.


Can you though? The protocol is not very well documented and it seems to iterate rather rapidly with the server version that it aims to be compatible with.


You might be able to, but are definitely not supposed to. The client is conceptually "part of the cluster".


Are you planning to?

This seems to be a theoretical discussion: I don't think I'd ever want to implement the client part of FoundationDB myself, and I don't really see a good reason to.


I'm not planning to because there is no documented protocol. If there were, I might! As a result, I can't use FoundationDB.


> Multiple frame generation (required for 5070=4090) increases latency between user input and updated pixels

Not necessarily. Look at the reprojection trick that lots of VR uses to double framerates with the express purpose of decreasing latency between user movements and updated perspective. Caveat: this only works for movements and wouldn't work for actions.


Tap to pay with spend controls sounds ideal for things like after school snacks/activities and transit. It could also be an easy to way to manage things like allowance digitally?

You're missing the revenue component if you do that.


I believe it has to do with not wanting to have to recover the ship. By belly-flopping it into the ocean they can assume it disintegrated.


Do they not compress the helium they have internally? Seems like an obvious solution so I must be missing something.


You need a large compressor and carry the energy around.


Pros: It will automatically orient to either a frontal or rear collision and has tons of contact area with the body. If it's made of even a slightly stretchy material it would also spread the force out over some period of time.


I wish more vehicles had more rear-facing seats. Can’t get used to it without experiencing it throughout life.

Seems like only bi-directional train cars have them, or trams that rarely slow down rapidly.


Metros have them, and in my experience the rear-facing seats are more comfortable, as metros decelerate much faster than they accelerate (or at least in Lille, I didn't notice it as much in three other metros I took).


The Kia Carnival can be switched to rear-facing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdG3BAudW2g


I had similar thoughts, but that doesn't make it any less funny!
