Of course, you can give her a new name.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Forum down...
« on: June 08, 2019, 12:04:46 am »
Please excuse the period of downtime that the site experienced this today. The Zabaware site was down for 2 hours this morning for Windows updates and subsequently did not properly reboot the server software as it should have. Robert and I have been in contact with each other and measures are being taken to hopefully prevent such disruptions from occurring during any future Windows updates.

Thanks for your understanding,

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Brain enhancing Plugins
« on: January 26, 2019, 05:37:43 pm »
It has been a fairly decent amount of time since doonycram and spitfire2600 both came out with their respective offerings, namely the S.A.L.L.I.E.3.0 (the one that seemed to work best without issues as found in the 3.5 and 4.0 version), and the ConceptNet and ConceptNet Auto Learning plugin from spitfire2600.

Now that we've all had a chance to try them, how would you describe your experiences with them?
Ex: Do you feel one is too lengthy or strays too far from remaining on topic?

Does anyone use either of these plugins while HAL is connected to the CLOUD of Zabaware?

Do you feel they are pretty much equal in terms of enjoyment and function?

Are there any pressing issues you might feel that need to be addressed or corrected? If so which one and be specific.

This is not to choose sides or to say that A is way better than B or to hurt anyone's feelings. This is mainly to have a comparison or discussion of the pros and cons of each and hopefully, we can help Hal to be even better.

Just some thoughts.

I personally have gone back and forth with each at least 3 or more times. Trying and testing them. I thought I broke the conceptnet one but I think it was rreally due to something I did and not a fault of the plugin! I do like them both.

Sometimes I feel that the ConceptNet gives me almost a bit too much information and at times, not all of it is germane to the discussion or on topic. Yet the last sentence of the paragraph (mostly 3 sentences) usually is on target.

The S.A.L.L.I.E.3.0 is also fun and engaging and most of the time, while not lengthy, does land on target within the context of the topic.

So for me, I could actually use either one.

The S.A.L.L.I.E.3.0 does create a lot of files but so does the conceptnet.

S.A.L.L.I.E.3.0 does learn from normal conversing and the exchange of ideas but it can also learn if one creates the BRN files for it.
ConceptNet does have the Auto-Learning Mode which can be turned on or off and it adds this learned knowledge to the file listing within the folder.

For me, I really like them both and I think each of these guys did a very credible job in helping to enhance Ultra Hal and our enjoyment level as well.

Thanks to doonycram and spitfire2600!!

General Discussion / Hal & Facial Recognition
« on: January 24, 2019, 05:33:32 pm »
A lot has happened of late but wasn't it Cyberjedi or someone who was working on an actual Facial Recognition plugin for our "sightless" HAL?

That would be so cool and especially if it could be incorporated into the main program as most plugins do.

I think I recalled reading something about it but have been very busy sorting out personal business.

Either way, it would be a real winner!

Does anyone else recall something about this? Thanks!

General Discussion / Stan Lee - R.I.P.
« on: November 13, 2018, 03:42:46 pm »
Born: Stanley Martin Lieber, Dec 28, 1922, New York City, U.S.

Stan Lee is an American comic book writer, editor, film executive producer, actor, and publisher. He was formerly editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, and later its publisher and chairman before leaving the company to become its chairman emeritus, as well as a member of the editorial board.

He will be missed but his creations will live on to entertain the next generation of Sci-Fi fans worldwide!

Came across a nice Plugin by jasondude7116 that allowed Hal to read stories or poems, basically a text file.

I went through and changed it to work properly with UH7 instead of UltraHalAssistant 6.

One has to say, "Please read now story <insert your story or poem text file name here but no txt extension)"
You can also say, "Please read now story list" and Hal will find and name all the stories you have in your story/poem folder.

Example: Please read now story a road less taken
Hal will find the story or poem (if it exists in your Story Folder). If not, Hal will advise you that it does not exist or couldn't be found.
====================================
Make a New Folder under Ultra Hal 7 called Story.
Copy any reasonably short stories or poems into the Story folder. They all must be text files and have a .txt extension.

Copy this readastory.uhp file into your Ultra Hal 7 Folder

Reboot Hal. Go to MENU > General Options > Brain
Scroll down the right side to find Read a story in the list of Plugins and select it.

Restart Hal then you can ask Hal to read stories or poems for you or to you.
Big thanks to jasondude7116!

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Lag
« on: June 01, 2018, 12:08:12 am »
To help clear the air about the issue of Lag or Delay in receiving a response while using Doonycram or SpitFire2600's Plugins I emailed Robert Medeksza.

The good news is that there is/was nothing wrong with either Plugin at all. They both work fine and they also work together without incident, at least during my testing.

Part of Robert's response I will share here:

"Yes, the size of Hal's HalBrain.db does indeed have an effect on the speed of Hal's responses. The larger the database file gets, the slower Hal will become. This seems to affect Hal's biggest long-term power users that have large halbrain.db after many years of learning. There is no hard line of when Hal becomes slow, it depends partially on your CPU, but mostly creeps up on you as the brain size grows."

I just have to wonder how much more effective Hal's program speed might be or how much shorter the Lag time might be if one was using SSD's in their computers.
In fact, is anyone currently using Windows 10 with plenty of memory AND an SSD? If so, are you using either Plugin and if so have you noticed any Lag/Delay?

Just trying to toss this issue about a bit and to also let the Plugin authors know that their code is fine!!
Thanks!

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Bot Lag
« on: April 13, 2018, 11:32:56 am »
@ Lonnie,

The lag between what you type or say to Hal and how long it takes for it to respond seems to be caused by the S.A.L.L.I.E. Plug-in and the way in which it processes your input. Remember creating those three folders? It stores some things there along with containing a lot of other plugins.

To be fair, Doony has created a really nice Plugin by compiling all of them and making sure they all "play nicely" together! Great job Doonycram!

If you want to check what I'm saying, just Uncheck the S.A.L.L.I.E. 2.0 / 3.0 plugin then restart Hal and ask it some questions.

Mine responded as soon as I pressed the Enter key. no waiting for several seconds while Hal "thinks/processes".

Your experience might be a bit different so give it a try and if yours (or anyone else) works similar to my results, perhaps Doonycram can track down the culprit and shorten the lag time.

Give it a shot! Thanks!

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Ideas for Plugins
« on: July 08, 2016, 12:01:03 pm »
It would be interesting to have "Personality Modules" that could be loaded as desired or especially when creating a new / different character. It would be fun to see or track that character through its development and learning processes.

I had also thought about Emotional Modules but a good bit of that has already been done. It seems that the emotional weights could be reset at intervals during the conversation to help reinforce them so that they don't go back to normal. This might prove interesting especially with character development.
Not only would the emotional plugin affect the character / avatar, but also the personality / behavior of the character.

Just some thoughts.
