Do you have permission from the publisher for an adaptation? If not, you're taking a legal risk basing it off the books.

Don't they have those somewhere in South America?

Quite a few places. Cable propelled transit (CPT) is the term to search for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gondola_lift#Urban_transport

How on earth is that pronounced?

TeX is pronounced Teck or with a sound like in Bach or loch. Derivatives like Latex and Lualatex are similar.

Curious in terms of trademark, does it could infringe in Vercel's Prisma (very popular ORM / framework in node.js) ?

EDIT: as corrected by comment, Prisma is not Vercel, but ©2026 Prisma Data, Inc. -- curiosity still persists(?)

I think it may be a generic word that's hard to trademark or something, as the existing scientific analysis software called Prism (https://www.graphpad.com/) doesn't seem to be trademarked; the Trademarks link at the bottom goes to this list, which doesn't include Prism: https://www.dotmatics.com/trademarks

> Turn whiteboard equations or diagrams directly into LaTeX, saving hours of time manipulating graphics pixel-by-pixel

What a bizarre thing to say! I'm guessing it's slop. Makes it hard to trust anything the article claims.

I wonder how would we react with tools dating back to, say, 5MY ago ...

That would shake our knowledge from the foundations.

No it wouldn't, as we already think it's pretty likely. Chimpanzees use tools, so our most recent common ancestor with them, something like 6 million years ago, may well have used tools too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_use_by_non-humans, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimpanzee%E2%80%93human_last_...
