Is there any way to make Hal look up the entire Wikipedia database?
-
you would basically need a spoon feeder bot that would search wiki the way the google bots search meta data on websites, and spoon feed it to hal after filtering out the symbols and ref {1} type information that wiki incorporates into their pages, such a thing doesn't exist that i know of, i just have an active imagination and had fun pretending to have a solution.
I hope this helps in some form or another.

Look in the file sharing forum I uploaded a module the will use a "lookup" command in Hal, it will search Wikipedia for the answer.
ex. Lookup George Washington. Hal will load Wikipedia and find George Washington
Hope this helps

no thats not what I wanted. I wanted hal to study the entire wiki database, but it is a good find , thanks

I think I just found a way to do it, I'm downloading the wiki dump file, hopefully this will give Hal more information ta work with and understand me better. 6 gigs of info

Sorry I wrote that code for looking up data in Wikipedia, what you need is a lot more complex that a 2 hour hack. I would love to attempt it but I would need access to the source code, and the tools required to create Hal.

I the dump file didn't work so I'm going to copy and paste the info into the halpad.
