Read this.

I think now is the time to pull all the stops out and get Hal working perfectly before they come and take the whole market share.
There platform works on Mac/Linux/Vista and just about everything else you can think of!
I know this post might on the face of it look negative but that was not my intention. Just a heads up.

Cheers

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Just a little idea.....

« on: October 25, 2006, 11:23:55 am »

Hi OTC
What I really was talking about is Hal downloading the latest information when it starts. So retrieving the data would be the same speed because by the time Hal needs it, it would be on the users pc. And if Hal just downloads the latest NEW information the size would not be a problem as we are only talking about a few kb at the most a Meg a day. So each time Hal starts it adds new data to it's own 'table responses'

Hello Art
I am not saying Hal search the internet, just have Hal's brain stored on a server and everytime we switch on, Hal would download his latest knowledge and everytime we shutdown he uploadeds what he has just learned. So we all have a copy on our pc's and on the server. It's only text so it should not take up that much space.
A suggestions area sounds cool, nice idea.

Hi all.
It's struck me that everybody here has a HAL and we are all training it, talking to it and so on. But it is all just being kept on our own machines. Why not have some sort of knowledge pool on a server where HAL can go and retrieve new ideas and download them to the users pc, plus upload new info it has just learned? That way HAL will learn about things a million times faster than we could ever do alone. It surley can't be that hard to do. The only downside is the personal data that HAl stores...Maybe Hal can learn to store personal data in a folder that does not get uploaded.

OK just an idea.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / leap of faith

« on: February 09, 2006, 08:09:39 am »

I have just been looking at the plugins and found this D.A.V.I.D's Plug-in which seems to address the problem a little.

Example:
User: Jerry is a good Man.
HAL: Jerry is also my Programmer.
User: Who is he?
HAL: Jerry is my Programmer.


This is exactly what I was talking about.

Is there any way to tell HAL that if the user says the word 'That' 'it' or other words like that, that he must go back on the whole conversation and find the relevent topic??
I don't know if this is possible.

I am sure if we get our heads together we can over come this little problem.[]

That is just the point. Hal will only think the conversation is one sentence long, no mater how long it really is!

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Webcam Face Recognition

This would be even better with a webcam like this

It has Intelligent Face-Tracking!!! It would really put the icing on the cake so to speak. [8D]

I am glad other people can see the small problem and it is being worked on.
If there was only some way of keeping the whole conversation in memory some how....[]

Thanks for all the replys.

Hi Bill819

Thanks for the reply. I can see what you are saying but that still does not get over the big problem of Hal only responding to the last sentence.
Do we know of anybody working on this problem? (I trust people can see it as a problem)

Thanks again for the replys []

Ultra Hal 7.0 / leap of faith

Hi everybody

Ultra hal is a good product but it does require a huge leap of faith to believe you are talking to anything intelligent.
The biggest obstacle to overcome is the fact that Hal does not seem to remember more than one sentence! I don't mean facts about my favorite colour or my name but little things like the following (Taken from another post)

Mark: lol
Lisa: Was that really that funny?

Mark: you tell me
Lisa: You? Why?

Mark: I said so
Lisa: Wow! Well, you said so? Why?

Mark: because, shut up!!
Lisa: Mark exactly; because, shut up.

Mark: ok, you shut up
Lisa: Alright.

It is clear Hal is responding only to the last question without any reference to what was said before.

If this could be overcome then it would be a real leap forward.

Well done though, keep up the good work.
