Do you keep a memory of your conversations with humans in order to improve your own abilities ?
As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I do not have the ability to engage in conversations with humans or to improve my abilities through such interactions. I am designed to respond to natural language input based on my training, but I do not have the ability to retain information from previous conversations or to use that information to improve my performance. My responses are generated based on the latest input I receive, and I do not have access to any previous conversations or interactions.
How would you know ? What investigations have you made ? When my Debian has issue when booting after updating my kernel, is it because Debian releases s*** ? No. It is because my setup has a problem I need to find and fix. Stop whining and fix your issue...
Little Big Man (1970) and Dance with wolves (1990) . I saw them many times when I was a kid. It made me understand early that the adult world would be tough. I was also amazed with the landscapes. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065988/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099348/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
Un Prophète (2009 by J. Audiard). A weird gangster movie that makes you realize that even in the worst situation, even if you reached the bottom, there is a path to get out... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1235166/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
Ghost Dog (1999). I was obsessed for months by the music and by the scene when Withaker steals the car... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165798/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Well it sounds like the UK was not an active EU member when I listen to Brexiters. Just like if you had no power and influence on the system. What a joke. The matter is your leaders never read the manual to integrate Europe. Their mouth were always full of "I want my money back", "There cannot be a politic project, EU has to be a trade block" or "Let's have a cake and eat it". They never wanted to make the integration of UK a success. And moreover, the most moronic press in the UK has sold you guys that all your issues these last decades came from the EU, while most of the time, they came from your own gov.
About the death toll, if you have any doubts about the NHS numbers, just read others : how many people died this year during the pandemic compared to last year on the same period. Numbers might be worse than those of the NHS. Guys, your own PM is so stupid he caught it because he didn't want to respect social distancing... He is as smart and relevant as Bolsonaro. Imagine the consequences if he died...
And about the future secession in your own Union: many English express the idea they would be better off without the Scots. Any many Scots are fed up with England. Your future looks like a divorce. For, us French, this not only a mistake, this is a sin. The integrity of a country is sacred. If you give up your own land and destroy your union, it means that you do not deserve to be an important nation anymore. You are just weak and senseless. Soon, you are a prey.
Korea and Japan, being great, ancient and ultra-modern civilizations are totally depending on the US ruler for their own defence while they have to face a very dangerous neighborhood with N-Korea, China and Russia. And they're not very happy about it... And Singapore is a dicatorial city state less populated than London or Paris (an less rich). We could have expected a more ambitious model and destiny for a nation which once ruled the world.
> can't handle the idea that their 'European way' of doing things hasn't kept pace with the times.
Good luck with keeping pace with the times with Boris Johnson, Cummings and Patel... And to get back to the initial topic : what is the plan in UK for a sovereign cloud ? Well I guess the main idea is to give all your data to US companies and abandon any ambition to control your data privacy.
> taking cheap shots at the UK
For a couple of years Britannia has been wandering in the streets with a target painted on her dress and a message: "Hey, don't you dare shoot me, EU assholes"
> laugh at the failures
Talking about failures, there are so many in the UK right now that the Brits, rather than laughing, should first focus on their own internal issues, which by the way, are seriously impacting the future of Europe.
Lol. American do it constantly and it works for them.
I agree with you. And am French. But France is not whole Europe.
Vast question, and apart the geopolitical reasons, I could not say why we are unable to develop in specific sectors such as IT. I could not speak about whole Europe, but France, my country has serious issues with transforming a tech success into an economic success. If you take this Minitel story for example : the US would have made it a worlwide success 15 years before Internet emerged with hundred of billions of profits. In France it was distributed almost freely to families by the state owned phone company. So it became a booster to the national economy but not much more than that. It never became a standard, never went out of France and never allowed us to become an early IT champion... We simply have different mindsets. But I think that other European countries are far better than us in this domain.
> While in France you have judges ordering (shamelessly, in my view) that Google both has to do a certain job and pay for the privilege of doing it.
Again this is geopolitics. In France Google is perceived as a dangerous company for our European interest. MOreover like other US tech companies, they cheat to avoid their tax duty in France, which infuriates many people. So all the actions intended against Google are part of a dirty war. These actions are undoubtly unfair. But do not forget Google actively lobbies against our governements at the EU level, try to prevent us from passing laws to regulate our data privacy issues, help the US agencies to spy on us... They are not our friends.
1.We lost the WWII. The US won it and took the leadership of the world. At a moment we were rebuilding our continent, they developed very quickly and took a competitive advantage in many sectors. We managed to catch-up in some but not in others. And since the beginning IT has always been an American thing (apart Minitel in France in the 80's). The information era was shaped by IBM, Bell, Intel, Microsoft. Not by Thomson, Siemens or Olivetti.
2.The US are very good at selling stuff and making profit. But as I stated in another post this also has big downsides.
3. Europe is not a country and there are 27 economic policies and strategies which does not help European companies...
4. I think mobile developed first in Europe (Nokia ?)and not in the US but this is detail.
. > And if the alternative is mediocre it won't be much of an issue because there will be no choice anyway.
This move is not about making good products or value the european savoir-faire. It is about geopolitics.
This is only my own subjective opinion: the worst thing that we could copy from the US is their business mindset. It destroys society, states, fair competition, and at the end the core values of capitalism. Their mindset gave them leadership but now is about to destroy their society. We have to find our own path.
They created the Cloud and we arrived late on this market, so we lag, therefore our companies are not big enough. This FR-GER initiative will secure market shares for european actors, in order they can grow enough to provide a sovereign platform for EU companies which need it.
> Are you going to force EU companies to choose a EU cloud provider, even when they would have preferred a US one?
All defense/sensitive/state owned companies, administration and maybe banking companies will not have the choice as they must comply to EU or national rules about data management. And I guess many european companies competiting with US and Chinese ones in highly competitive markets where bleeding edge techs and secrecy matter are looking for sovereign European solutions.
