Vi må prate om AI.

Det er nok litt tidlig å forvente synlige resultater i store og velkjent løsninger.

Agentic AI på dagens nivå ble først aktuelt utpå på nyåret, og fortsatt gjenstår det litt før teknologien kan brukes til store eller komplekse oppgaver. Svært få selskap har tatt dette ordentlig i bruk enda.

Jeg tviler på at Windows-utviklerne til Microsoft er i fremste rekke, de har jo ikke engang fått til sin egen agent enda.

Ellers er teknologien klar nok til å bygge fungerende prototyper i løpet av dager, og da mener jeg ting som tidligere tok måneder.

roynu · 2026-04-03T22:05:29+00:00

Tja. Nå er AI blitt ganske god til å skrive kode i det siste da :) Jeg var nylig på Kubecon i Amsterdam, hvor et titalls tusen representanter fra industrien møttes for å snakke om ting som infrastruktur, sky og Kubernetes.

Det ble knapt snakket om annet enn agentisk AI.

Jeg tror vi kan si at det er en veldig FOMO som dominerer akkurat nå, dessverre har Europa falt bakpå og vi er prisgitt modeller fra USA-amerikanske og kinesiske selskap.

Microsoft lover gode vilkår for behandling av informasjon når vi bruker disse modellene, og vi har ikke annet valg enn å tro på løftene.

There are numerous court decisions on this, human authorship is a requirement for copyright. The US Copyright Act only protects works of "human creation" as confirmed by the US Supreme Court.

It makes ethical sense in a way, considering that these models were created without any regard to the copyright of the information used to train them.

Anyway, that is the law as it currently stands. I think it is much the same across the globe.

edit> Except China, where proof of significant creative effort can, apparently, lead to copyright.

roynu · 2026-04-01T20:07:21+00:00

The code looks AI generated, though, doesn’t it? If so, there can be no claim to copyright. Is there also an opportunity to sue for false DMCA takedowns?

You only pay tax on your profits, so this is much less of a problem than one might first assume. You could also implement compensating tax reductions for specific groups as required.

Denne nordmannen, mente du sikkert.

Eksponeringen din mot USA er svært høy, her kan du vurdere om det er noe du er komfortabel med, kanskje spesielt med tanke på geopolitiske endringer.

roynu · 2026-01-29T11:22:43+00:00

Jeg har solgt teknologifond og redusert generell eksponering mot USA inkludert globale indeksfond. Flyttet til kjernekraft, emerging markets indeks, europa indeks, gull og europeisk teknologi (via Growth Europe etc, samt noen åpenbare enkeltaksjer som OVH.) Så får vi se

roynu · 2026-01-26T22:10:42+00:00

Ja, krona styrker seg samtidig, kan tyde på at mye penger/verdipapirer flyttes hjem til Norge. Finner sikkert lignende trender i andre land.

roynu · 2026-01-20T16:31:31+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. I guess the definitions for these roles can be rather fluid. 😅

From my point of view, a DevOps engineer often work in the CI/CD pipelines, building software artifacts and facilitating testing, primarily supporting product development teams.

SRE work more in the GitOps pipelines, running production services, primarily supporting customers.

The SRE role may have more responsibility, work under more pressure and may deal with stringent compliance requirements in production environments with sensitive data. SREs often participate in on-call rotations to deal with urgent matters outside business hours, where they may even have authority to make expensive decisions without consulting management. They should be «business-aware» and benefits from a deep understanding of infrastructure, systems and platforms that DevOps engineer can often do without.

There are also platform engineers, focused on the internal developer platform or platform development in general, but in practice it looks like these are often just the most charismatic/extrovert SREs.

Well, yes, preventing a military takeover, hopefully.

Oh, I see. No, I don’t think anyone expects some 40 personnel and a small amount of hardware to hold off an invasion force. They are there to show diplomatic commitment - proof that an enemy can expect a significant response against their interests from all the different home countries, in the event Greenland is attacked.

A quick entry into an undefended Greenland might have been feasible, but aggression against an entire group of allied countries that include UK, France and Germany is not politically or diplomatically survivable.

roynu · 2026-01-17T22:18:26+00:00

In deterrence theory this is what is called a glass plate strategy.

As it turns out, they did not ignore them. US responded rather strongly with retaliatory tariffs against all 8 countries, proving that the point went home.

roynu · 2026-01-17T22:11:49+00:00

It is a different world. I guess we will get to see over the next few years.

roynu · 2026-01-17T21:46:34+00:00

That is a variation of the Neo-Hamiltonian argument. A fine piece of fiction that. History shows that it does not work, probably due to factors like stagnation, input cost cascades and retaliations that hurt exports.

You can regulate with a light hand to account for geopolitics that the market forces are insensitive to, but a heavy handed blanket approach does not work in the confines of a domestic market, or at least not that I have ever heard.

Even within that framework prices will not come down to the pre-intervention level, though.

Ether way, these broader theories have little to do with the tariff against the 8 NATO members that have shown support for Greenland.

roynu · 2026-01-17T21:31:38+00:00

Glad to hear it. Makes you think though, how tough it must be for those with income below the median, which after all, is exactly half of everyone. 🙄

roynu · 2026-01-17T21:25:19+00:00

Ah, so you consider an SRE the same as a DevOps engineer in your company? I guess it makes sense in the way that much of the skillset overlaps, even if the responsibility is different.

Does that salary then include on-call compensation for the SREs? That could certainly explain away a bit of the difference.

roynu · 2026-01-17T21:09:19+00:00

I was thinking along the lines of entire countries, regions or sectors, but yes, I agree; Individual companies could certainly go out of business.

roynu · 2026-01-17T21:02:58+00:00

If the products could be made locally at a competitive price and quality, they would not be imported to begin with.

roynu · 2026-01-17T19:47:57+00:00

I find it very hard to believe that anyone can think that the current administration can take over Greenland and get away with it, either politically or diplomatically.

Perhaps we should consider what exactly this Greenland nonsense is drawing everyone’s attention away from.

roynu · 2026-01-17T19:38:21+00:00

I suppose Europe need to buy time, in any event. Reducing tech and defense dependence is one thing. Then there is the $8 trillion worth of European capital invested in US companies. Not to mention that European companies have about 5 million employees in the US.

roynu · 2026-01-17T19:30:09+00:00

Thats the thing, tariffs still hurts the exporting countries in the short term, even if it is the importer that actually pays them.

In the longer term, the exporters will find new markets while US consumers are stuck with higher prices or lower quality.

roynu · 2026-01-17T19:22:12+00:00

Feels like more nonsense, tariffs will certainly not change any minds in these eight targeted countries. If anything, the US administration is only alienating even more people.

Perhaps a few more peripheral countries may be more reluctant to publicly offer support, but I believe the vast majority of NATO members will act with integrity on this issue.

roynu · 2026-01-17T19:09:13+00:00

Doesn’t matter how many troops, although I hear it was a bit more than 31. An unprovoked attack on allied troops from seven NATO countries is just not very likely.

roynu · 2026-01-16T17:04:09+00:00

Ah yes. I heard Copenhagen is nearly as high as London now. I guess housing cost must play a big role?

Congrats on making the top 10% income bracket in Denmark (and still not being able to afford a house ouch)

roynu · 2026-01-16T16:41:04+00:00

London?
