Lots of firms (usually bigger ones) use version control internally. But it can be a mess to try to get two or more firms, their clients, etc., all to use version control, let alone the same system.

Pretty much everyone uses track changes in Word, though. And if not they should.

Didn't expect the RaspberryPi YouTube guy…

Remarkably few people whine about the use of VW branded parts that are used in VWs, that also show up in Audis, Porsches, Lamborghinis, and Ducatis. (Mostly because it lets them buy replacement parts at a fraction of the price than if they'd only ever made a few hundred of those parts just for the Porsche GT3.

To the best of my knowledge that hasn't been tried. Among other things, fatal crashes typically occur at speeds over 2x those of car crashes. There's no meaningful ability to emergency brake before a crash, and many small airplanes don't have the weight budget to get the things that help you survive a crash, like crumple zones.

An airbag won't do much if you're still going to be squeezed between the engine and tail of the plane at 180 mph.

Lordy this is dumb. There's been exactly one recorded instance of a lawyer using ChatGPT in a brief and not checking it. This isn't a meaningful problem.

One thing that nicely threads the needle between "he's just a witness in the AG" and "he was sued by amazon in a separate matter," is if he lives in a state other than California, and Amazon had to file a special matter in his home state in order to enforce the subpoena issued in the California case.

It's confusing, given what information he provided, and I'm not really clear what's going on.

>It's much easier to build highly efficient hydrocarbon power stations - typical efficiencies range from 40-60%.

Just to expound on this. Power stations turn fuel to heat, and heat to electricity via steam turbines.

In ICE cars, that heat is the main loss of power. Whole systems in cars are built to get rid of that excess heat in the engine.
