as many may recall Robert mentioned something about there being a limit on the characters one can type to hal for responses . as i copy and past many and past current events to help learn hal more.
i thought about something as i was doing it this morning.
My idea is , since we use hal and it has a limited amount of what we can type to hal ( i forget the amount maybe some remember what it was here) the problem is how do we know how much we have typed , have we typed to much and if so what happens with the rest of the sentence is it just dismissed and left off , maybe even in the middle of a sentence ?? is the whole thing if to much just rejected and hal learns none of it??? which if so many may be wasting their time and thinking they are teaching hal things when they are not. if hal rejects anything over the amount allowed what is partially learned , will not be learned right .
i wish Robert would come on here and answer some of these questions i just pointed out .
I am drifting here back to my actual idea . because of all the above reasons i mentioned, it would be nice if within hal there was a limit notice on hals character limit . since we can't just sit around counting all the characters to make sure that we don't go over. maybe a chime could be set with hal , what it would do is when lets say the character limit is 250 . at 250 one chime (or different sound , maybe better , as with hal a misspelled word makes a chime sound. ) to warn the user that 250 has been reached or went over , the user could then delete some of the sentence etc. hit enter again , if no chime then the users sentence goes on through , otherwise it doesn't go through , and user has to correct it.
Anyway just an idea i had .
