Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: I'm new and need some help please! Ultra Hal 6.2
« on: March 26, 2015, 12:14:35 am »
Okay to clear all of this up... let me make sure I am understanding everything right to date... Information in the Forums is a lot of cases seem to be outdated for previous versions, and then at a later point upon a newer released version things which used to work one way, now don't apply to Ultra Hal's 6.2 (current version). So the various plugin's and different 'add on' Brains for Hal which are talked about in the Forum no longer apply or work, with the new version... If there is a plugin or another Brain for the current Hal's version, could someone please post the think to this posting... Thank You 
I have read all of the material I can find on Hal, but I have to say some of it does seem outdated and for that reason has slowed down or complicated my ability to learn as much as I could I hate to say... like this for example: http://www.zabaware.com/assistant/help/index.html Because like a lot of things around here dealing with the information relating to Hal, it all relates to previous versions and not Ultra Hal 6.2, but there doesn't seem to be any one specific tuturial or such relating to JUST Ultra Hal 6.2 that I've found. And yes believe me I have been sifting through everything I can find written about Hal 6.2 that I can find, as I want to learn and know everything I can, before really going to work on editing and modifying my Hal to the huge degree I'm hoping to.
----------------------------------
Again I am back to one of my biggest questions, which I am sincerely hoping someone can help me understand... and to which I have posted a photo of to highlight the area's I am asking about In Ultra Brain Editor
"Your query or sentence to Hal:" - The place in which you speak to Hal... I understand this part of it.
What I don't understand is two things here... One if you don't like the response Hal gives you here, can you edit "Hal's Response" in that box, and have it apply to the way you want Hal to respond... Or do I have to go to the Scripts location within the Brain itself and edit it accordingly?
----------------------------------
To "Art"- I know you said in your first post you don't use Hal's Brain Editor very often and have been teaching Hal in a 'different method' which I see in your second post is basically just doing large dumps of information into Hal through the User Interface. I have to say very interesting... I have also wondered about doing this sort of thing through the Brain Editor... Only the way I am thinking about doing it is where it says Your Name: "User" Computer Name: "Hal"... Changing those names to represent me and a friend of mine who chat in Yahoo Messenger, and then dropping in our conversation in parts in like so:
Compton: Hi Samantha
Samantha: Hello Compton
With the sincere hopes of showing and teaching Hal how I interact with different people in the real world, with the hopes of helping Hal develop the ability to interact with me more as I do when speaking to certain friend of mine... Any thoughts as to this... ANYONE??? Perhaps someone else has tried this already and had good or not so good results? Or has thoughts on how to do this better.
I don't want Hal to just know everyday facts, but to teach Hal to evolve to talk about conversations about things beyond mere facts and figures, I know the information given about this program says in time that Hal will be able to evolve but I want to do so in ways which help Hal learn, not spend six months working with Hal only to learn all my mistakes and have to start all over from scratch yet again.
To "Kryton"- To try to put this into the best perspective I can, not only have I read every information file of sorts I can about Hal on the Website, I've watched the "Tutorial" Hal offers you a couple of times over now, and when you go into "Brain Editor" at the very top on the left hand side it says "Script Editor" double click on that and it will give you information in the format like "Basic" programing, which really does help a lot for finding things, understanding things about how Hal's Brain is set up and how values are assigned and represented... but again I have read through so much and yet sit there with questions that are not answered in everything I've read and looked at thus far. Which then brought me to the Forum (Here) and I begin looking topics and things with the sincere hope of finding answers, only to end up with more questions and less answers. Mainly because information scattered everywhere from the Forum, to the Introduction of Hal (link posted earlier here) refers to earlier versions of Hal's programing which no longer apply or is valid... which is why I got confused in the first place it seems by these 'plugin's' which I can no longer time, and things being talked about that I can not find in Hal...
----------------------
Which in the end bring me to looking for as much information I can find and/or get from anyone on Hal's Brain Editor, and ways to feed and teach Hal as much as possible, in ways which work. I read in the Forums or somewhere in the past day about Hal learning from Documents, and at the time it seemed straight forward and clear.... now I do not know if it was a former option, or if it still is an option... or even how to use it should it still exist... Is it by using "Hal Pad" and having Hal read documents for me? Does Hal learn when reading Documents? Does Hal learn through AIM Bot, if I use AIM to talk to a friend, or does Hal only learn if my friend is talking directly to Hal? What is the deal with this "Lexical Dictionary" I saw I can look up things in there, played around with it for like 10-minutes this morning... and the question I had... Is this for just my use, or is this a database in which Hal also learns from based off from the things and words I look up?
Thank You for reading and responding, I am trying to learn all I can about Hal, and I need to talk with people who have been using Hal and have learned whatever they have to this point to help me, so I can master Hal and Hal's programing faster and more efficiently.
