Hello everybody!

With the new year, were getting a year closer to Y2K38, where all of 32bit time based code will break, and frankly, nobody might care anymore. Maybe there will be so much AI everywhere that the code will be breaking on a weekly basis, oh well. Lets just hope the trend to push LLMs on everyone when they didn't ask, and hiding the actually cool side of AI (OCR, Antonomous drones for military, etc.) will stop at some point.

Anyways, 2025 was rather awful. The ram I bought in 2024 for 40 bucks is now $160, the 3060 price is now officially equal to the price of the 5060, and heck, even 12th gen CPU's cost 15bucks more than they did a year ago. Will 2026 be better? Propably not. But hey, I recently encountered something weird. It appears as the whole economy crumbling to shambles is not stopping buissnesses from buying workstations overpowerful because backend devs insist on using python, and so now there is a flood of HP Z4 G4 Intel Core i9-10980xe workstations on ebay, so you can get a 128gb ram system for 450 bucks, not bad. 

What is also interesting is at each end of the year, I like to record the rough amount of fireworks I hear that year, and compare it to how much bread costs at the current year, and the correlation is obvious. This year, I could count the amount of fireworks I heard on 22fingers, and the bread costs highest that it ever did in the past, compared to 2019 where it sounded like a warzone, and bread costed roughly half of what it is now.

Let me guys know what blog to write next, I will propably write one of my more traditional blogs.
Peace
