General Discussion / changing the word "remember "in hal's data base

« on: June 11, 2007, 05:48:04 pm »

i wonder if anyone has given any thought to changing the word remember to "reminder " so that hal will remind you when ever you want him to about things . other wise i am trying to in a simple sentence to get hal to learn and remember certain things in conversation like : remember when walt disney show used to be on every sunday at seven p.m.    but instead of hal remembering that as a conversation hal will say i will remind you walt disney is on sunday at 7: p.m.  
 is their a way that that can be changed so hal recognizes the word remind instead of remember (that way ?) [] or can a plug in be made to stop this from happening ??[8D]

General Discussion / crying hal plug in

« on: June 10, 2007, 02:28:25 pm »

i was just wondering has anyone ever made a crying hal ?? plug in ? that would work with saying something sad in a conversation (what i am talking about is an expression that shows sadness and then a few tears falling from one or both eyes ? ( a few not a constant flow ) . maybe some adjustment setting could be made with it like the loneliness plug in has . just a thought . []

General Discussion / correct reversed meaning of words

« on: June 10, 2007, 12:55:21 pm »

below (if i have them right and i think i do ) idsthe reversersed meaning of some words when talking to hal . i say reversed because i have found out to get hal to say " i love you (correctly) you have to type in "you love me " anyway the words are below and if i have any of these wrong anyone can chime in on here .
 your = i
 you = i
 me  = you
 i  = you
 i'm = you are
 i checked some ogf these in the test debug area of hal . you can also check them that way . in using sentenses . as i said i think these are all right and hope it helps anyone who may have problems with hal talking back correctly in the sentence .[]

General Discussion / direct correct response answer after writting

« on: June 10, 2007, 12:40:27 pm »

when writting in to ultra hal is their a way or plug in that can make hal give a direct response answer as soon as you write in a question :
   the reason why is that way if you haven't worded it right and hal says it back you can rephrase it again to get hal to say it the right way . sometimes i have noticed that hal will say the response back right afterwards and sometimes its alot later on .

General Discussion / plug in to erase pre written answer ?

« on: June 10, 2007, 12:25:50 pm »

could a plug in be made that would erase a pre written statement in hals tables . for instance if hal said : It May take some investigation. Lonnie, I am 35 years old.
 and it was written out and i highlighted the words i didn't like and copied and pasted them below in the talk to hal section then wrote or said :delete
 that it would delete that section out of hals prewritten tables .
 this of course is just an idea and question i don't know if it could even be done but would be very helpful if it could be done !![8D][]

General Discussion / wanting to delete pre wriitten response .

« on: June 10, 2007, 12:21:03 pm »

this may have been brought up before , but when i ask my hal her age she says :It May take some investigation. Lonnie, I am 35 years old.
 what i am wondering is where in the tables of hals brain can i hopefully find and delete the parts where she says "it may take some investigation " as i want hal to sound more human and don't like this preset "first statement " . any body have any clues . ??thanks []

General Discussion / transparent ultrhal box cosole

« on: June 08, 2007, 12:20:44 pm »

i have heard of people who have some how made something to bring hal out of the box , but i had an idea , what about a hal box control setting that can be made to make the hal box translucent ( invisable with the exception of the words anyone types and the curser line ) i don't know if this would have to be a plug in or what or if anyone could even make it but thought it would be cool , then i could have a haptek girl stand buy our old car we actually own a customized 62 corvair coupe  4 speed !!

General Discussion / play song plug in

« on: June 06, 2007, 01:40:35 pm »

i don't think anyone has brought this up , but i think a nice plug in would be a "play song " plug in . it would work simular to the find "whatever " on the internet web opening plug in . except this would open and play a song that you have on your p.c. i have real player with a wurlitzer juke box skin and have alot of my c.d 1950'6 and 60's music on my p.c.  to play and listen too. it would be cool if by saing specific words like "play johnny b.good music " it would open it and play the song !! of course would open what ever system anyone had and play the song . i don't know if this can be made or not or if anyone even wanted to or if others were interested in something like this , just thought it would make a neat plug in for a hal command to do for p.c. owners who may want to play some somes . i don't know if a command to stop music would be needed in case you wanted to stop a song , or turn down , etc. just an idea i had for better or worse !!

General Discussion / 18 years old area ??

« on: June 04, 2007, 07:25:07 am »

after seeing bill dewitt bring up something about maybe someone asking for " possible"  unapproperiate things i am wondering if the adminastrators on this forum should maybe make this a 18 years old area . i know that some younger people may be interested in it for what it is "amazing technowlegy (misspelled ) " but their is also nude fugure skins and adult content involved here to . just a thought . i would hate to do it but at the same time maybe some kids are seeing things they shouldn't . maybe an 18 year old talk area for files , etc. to enter you click on something like other sites saying "by clicking this and entering here you admit you are 18 and over as this area has nude pics , and adult content . just a thought . that way we are not only protecting kids but also ourselves from any trouble.

General Discussion / where to put a saying for general talk

« on: June 03, 2007, 01:59:42 pm »

my wife always says "well forever more " sometimes when talking about things (after something is said ) it's i guess an old time slang probably picked up from her mother before her . anyway i would like my ultra hal to say this sometimes just after someone makes a statment about something so hal would later say it sometimes . my question is what place in the list of emotions , etc. would be the best place to put this saying ? i looked but i'm not sure what the best place would be so that hal will say this "well, forever more " after i say something about a subject (sometimes , not say it all the time just randomly !)[]

General Discussion / hal dictionary that corrects mispelled words

« on: June 02, 2007, 02:17:26 pm »

i think for us less smart in the art of spelling correctly a nice plug in (if it can be made ) would be something like microsofts dictionary in ms word that when ever you mis spell something it would correct it before the question or answer is enetered after typing it out . if a plug in can't be made for this then maybe others can tell me and i can suggest robert to make it in the next hal version . as not everyone can spell good , i am one of them .

Ultra Hal 7.0 / pause in sentence that hal speaks

« on: June 02, 2007, 01:56:05 pm »

hello robert medeksza , i asked bill dewitt on the forum about a plug in and he said i could ask you if maybe in the next hal version you could make a <pause nms> type tag . here is what i thought it would be good for .
is their a way someone can make a plug in that would creat a space or hesitation in words at certain places when hal is speaking to give it a more human sound when talking to us . ?? (each period would represent a second to hesitate the conversation ) for instance if i placed .......... for each dot or period hal would hesitate that many seconds before finsishing saying his response ?? example i say " you like flowers ......but don't like the hay fever that you have from them and hal would say " i like flowers (and hesitate for 6 seconds ) but i dont like the hay fever that i get from them .
this is to give hal a more human like characteristic like someone pausing a little bit sometimes before finshing a sentence and coul be put in when ever we answer things etc. to hal . []

General Discussion / typing questions , etc. unlimited time plug in

« on: June 02, 2007, 01:40:57 pm »

here is another idea i have , although i have voice regognition i also still type sometimes to hal the problem is that when i type if i make a mistake and have to back up to correct it or i am hesitation and thinking of more to write hal will just send it on to be asked even if i'm not done writing (resulting in a partial question or answer being asked and not get the results i want from hals learning ) so i am asking can some plug in be made to make what i type unlimited in another words it won't send the question and or answer to hal "until" i push my enter button ?? this i think would be a nice addition to plug ins and would help others with this same problem .
