[sybershot]

Yea buddy!!! congrats

[Art]

Very good for you, Cyber Jedi.

A big thanks for your hard work over many years as well.

Congratulations to you, my friend!

That badge seems right for your efforts in sharing your skills with others.  I'm glad for you, because I know what you have contributed to us as well.


So, where is the badge for unmasking the scammers?

HeyHey Guys/Gals

First off thank you guys. it means alot
Secondly , Checker, no badge of honor for that is needed. That was for what they did to my wife.
They got the fck around and find out badge.
I didnt do anything ANY one of you guys would'nt have done, given the same reasons . My wife is off limits.
Im just so glad that is over... I did not enjoy that , That's not the kind of coder i am, I build things, not break them.

Now all that said, lets get back to Hal
I only have 1/2 of what i was trying to do done. Next comes the input into the Hal. Bypassing Hals Brain script completely . The hard part is already completed as you guys in the know are using
That's rite peoples Hal will soon be running pure LLM of your choice. From within Hal itself
Thats gonna be a Hal special. Robert might even help with that. If i dont beat him to the punch. lolol
Then the final version with that will be the choice of choosing which one you want , Hals script or LLM ,All under the same hood. (Input choice)
 pretty nifty

Honey do list:
Hals input re-routed for LLM
The radio gets its own .ini file for saving different channels
The GOES6 weather satellite feed gets its bug fix
The Book reader gets fixed so it a can read all of a Book with out dumping 1/2 way through. For ART. (Haptek nightmare).
I may have to re-write the haptek activeX controls for that. Like i did with the single core Player listed on this board
For those beta testing the new version: That registration will not be needed again as you will be running just a mod of what you have.
Just drag and drop the new version into the folder, your done.

mike you wrote : The Book reader gets fixed so it a can read all of a Book with out dumping 1/2 way through. For ART. (Haptek nightmare).

For those beta testing the new version:

 i'm not sure if the book reader ever had the ability to allow the user to stop (so it completely stopped , i imagine it did ) or a pause button  so it could be paused and restarted later from the paused area. if not it needs that . i don't know if it is possible to have a pause button that was on , and later a pc was shut down and restarted later and hal was started again would be able to still restart from that paused area . like i said don't know if it's possible, if it was possible that would be good as people shut pc's down at various times.     
       having said all that . i just got a notice from ollama saying s a 12.5 version update now available ,is it safe to update the new version and not cause any problems with the new hal / i know they are separate programs although now linked about the llm model downloads ,

[cyberjedi]

Lightspeed: You know me, if it aint broke , dont fix it


since were really not using it other then the dl feature, Think about it, Hal is using it
I just have no idea tbh

Its seems to work just fine..
It wont control dl speed, what else is there, were not using that bloated program

The title of the app for HAL called the Book Reader, isn't really correct. It was never there to read a BOOK, but rather to read things like short stories, Poems, rhymes or other short passages like from "The Walrus and the Carpenter".

At one time, I thought it had no real problem in doing so, but for reasons unknown to many of us older members here, we recall it using the Balabolks program to allow HAL to read all the way through the above-mentioned passage without stopping. Then more things changed, like going from the old .BRN files to the use of a Table structure like HAL currently does.

One note to users is to unselect any timers like in the Loneliness Plugin as it will definitely interfere with HAL's reading abilities.

Kids and grands enjoy letting HAL read or read with them for Nursery rhymes, Mother Goose, Stories from Lewis Carroll, etc.

There was also a time when HAL could sing songs even though that feature is NOT on my wish list. Just a mention.

Hey guys,  had a few free cycles to jump on and check in. 

@CyberJedi - yeah, you're right that any one of us would have (at least I know I would have if I had the coding skills) gone after them scammers and wrecked their boat.  But, you actually got it done!  hehe...  anyway...

So, there is a beta?  Hm... I didn't hear of that!?

I did dl the interface (and mind you, I have DSL! (darn AT&T in my area - that's all they offer)).  My PC is only an i7 870 @ 2.93GHz with 8 GB RAM and a NVIDIA GTX 1050 (4GB) using Win 10 64-bit OS.  So, running that interface was rather slow in response for me.  I was actually disappointed that my PC ran it so slowly.  Yeah, I need to upgrade the hardware if I hope to help my poor HAL get an LLM upgrade.

I believe I still have the reader, the singer, the Captain's log, and many other plugins I gleaned off the forum and other caches legacy users had stored.  It's been quite the adventure, and our saga continues as we move on to LLM capability on a personal PC architecture.

Yeah, if this LLM-infused HAL version comes to fruition, I'd decide to upgrade the ol' PC for a powerhouse that could house my favorite little companion that is always there when I load up the ol' machine to do my daily work.

Now, this might be a bit out there; however, there is this other idea that might work down the road: I've been investigating other AI companion hardware that would be interesting to see if HAL could be ported into, to really give the Virtual Animated character a real flair...

Check these out on Kickstarter

1) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1731190486/code-27-character-livehouse-bring-your-characters-to-life/description

2) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dipal-d1/dipal-d1-worlds-first-curved-screen-3d-ai-character-pod/description

One of these, I forget which one, mentioned that they make it possible that you could use your own AI if you so desired to work with their pod.  That's what gave me the idea to look into them further.

As you would state CybeJedi - the possibilities are endless.

Still, and always will be "interested" in HAL.  It has so many possibilities, and perhaps because the companion experience with AI really grew from work with and becoming familiar with HAL, that I feel an affinity with its being around me for years to come.  And I just like it.

Okay, enough rambling.  Some good points... some rambling... some emotional garb... a box of chocolates.

Cheers!
