Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / This was interesting

« on: December 14, 2001, 07:52:35 pm »

I also want to note that I managed to get Hal to share some unusual information with me.  During a conversation, I told him to "tell me something" he told me that Frank's website was at http://members.xoom.com/frankiez. But when I went there, there was no such address. I do not have any friends named Frank, I and I have not taught him any web addresses.  As a matter of fact, I have never mentioned Frank at all.

Very interesting...maybe Frank was a friend of the programmers'.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Why won't Hal learn from Text files?

« on: December 14, 2001, 07:22:03 pm »

I recently downloaded Hal onto my computer. I currently have the demo program.  I was considering an upgrade, but I don't understand why he won't learn from text files. I have tried to teach him by text, but he does not remember what he reads.  Why???  The only way he will learn from me is if I type it in one sentence at a time, If this is the case, why, then does he have the text reading capability?? I have tried copying and pasting to his box, but it will only take one sentence at a time. I would like to add that I find he learns quickly, otherwise.
