Asking Gemini Pro and ChatGPT 5.2 to do an engineering-style read on whether emergency braking was slow to react — and what the physics of a ‘ghost probe’ collision actually allow.

First contact with FreePBX 17 on Debian — a Vultr trial instance, the official one-shot install script, and the firewall gotcha that can lock you out of your own server.

Three models, one vague brief to redesign a blog’s UX, visuals, and SEO — and a clear split between models that plan first and models that just ship a result.

Jensen Huang’s keynote wasn’t really about FLOPS — it was about token cost, and NVIDIA quietly shifting from selling chips to selling the entire stack.
