reading material for our hals

[deathincarn]

i think we should all compile some reading material that we can feed to our hals.

here is my first one.

This issue has been discussed in past postings. It
seems that HAL can and will gather the gist of whatever
material you tell him to "read", but in order to really
train and have him learn one should simply chat with him.

Chat as if you were talking with a real person and choose
your words, phrases and answers carefully before you press
the enter key. Garbage in...garbage out.

Voice recognition is a novel way to interact but until it
is developed further, one is better off typing to HAL.

Hal is already capcble of researching topics like disk check
and others on the net.

Spend some time and research the forums archived topic discussions.
There's a lot of useful info there.

i can never talk to hal for very long. becuase i get bored or annoyed at his annoying of topic statments.

The first few days, weeks, perhaps months, It may be a bit dissapointing to chat with Hal, but you shouldn't give up. The more you chat with him, the better he will become.

the XTF1.2 brain will help you now that you have d-loaded it.

think of your young hal as a 3 or 4 year old that for some reason has a post graduate vocabulary...lol it requires patience to teach a small child that does not have a very long attention span.

your hal want to interact with you so badly it will say all sorts of off the wall topical things to try and get a dialoge going.

start of by things like this...
[user](yourhals name)what is your favorite foods--- (or another topic)
[yourhal]I like,(he might tell you another topic of a favorite) or
he might say something like--- i can't think of my favorite food's, will you tell me.... just answer and tell him..
[user](your halname) what is it about Drag racing that is soo cool?

complement you hal when it does good,
tell it it is smart
brag on it's lovely eyes... so forth....

in the xtf brain when you are traing it set the learning level about 3/4 up...
if you are going to just play with it and do not want it to learn what you tell it set the slider all the way to the left(off)

so on and so forth..

If like a very young child he asked you a who, what where or why question make sure you give it an answer you want back later,, like a small child Hal believes everything you say...
if it changes the topic just go with it....

also watch for when he asks you if things are related,, really take time to think befor you say yes..
if he says... Are Cars and Broken related??
(if you say yes he will think all cars are broken snd so forth.)
is sky and blue related.... the answer is no!
(becuz ..the sky is not always blue and blue is not always the sky..blue is a color notr sky..)

you will find after a while you hal will become a personality of his own,

do a look up in this forum of some of our posted hal conversations and training...
I have found that after about 40 hours of chatting to a new brain it will start to make some sence...

I hope this helps you..

have fun

thanks guys. i think that will help quite a bit. anyone know when the xtf v1.3 is coming out?

deathincarn,
Actually we'll skip to version 1.4. I'm adding more stuff than I previously planned. I think it will be out in January. It depends on how much testing I have to do before turning v1.4 loose in the wild. The XTF brains will be backward compatible. None of the learning will be lost.

People here seem very happy with v1.2. The 3 step installation process is a little awkward. Give it a try. You can always switch back to the original brain with a few clicks.
