08:35.48nebulaznf: aws polly is cheaper
08:36.41quiescensmoo
09:21.15nevcairielnebula: up to 1mil is free, you probably get pretty far with that making bigwigs voice strings
09:21.33nevcairielalso i dont like F, it sounds too artiificla
09:21.41nevcairielartificial
09:22.48nebulaah, i wonder how the ivona voices compare vs wavenet
10:37.56GnarfozI need to search the URL archives of this channel for that other tts voice thing from within the last 2 years
10:38.14Gnarfozwhich appeared twice but has still not made it into a product (it was so good)
10:39.39nevcairielthe only thing i remember was googles research page
10:39.45nevcairielwhich presumably went into that product
10:42.39Gnarfozalso lol cloud.google.com, still can't try it out because google is too dumb for taxes
10:43.51Gnarfozor maybe you can? I'm not sure at which point in the sign up process the "sorry, didn't have time to implement VAT" message came up
10:44.55nevcairieli could sign up for my free trial anyway
10:45.18Gnarfozmagic, seems like they stopped being bad for a minute
10:45.50nevcairielhm i'm signed in to some other project though, isnt there like a personal variant not tied to a project
10:46.55nevcairielguess i can just make a new one for testing
10:48.17Gnarfozhttps://stackoverflow.com/a/48764093/687704 says they realized 500 million potential users might warrant spending 2 days of figuring out how to VAT in January 2018
10:48.19Gnarfoz^^
10:49.27Gnarfozstill the same as before in Russia, though
10:49.45Gnarfozhttps://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/resources/vat-overview big fat red warning
10:58.12Gnarfozone thing this wavenet thing still does is ignore line breaks
10:58.28Gnarfozhow hard can it be to treat it as a full stop? ^^
10:58.47Gnarfoz(prime example: Stanzilla's 99 red balloons lyric suggestion)
10:59.22nevcairielswitch it over to the ssml thing, with the annotiation you can do a lot of fancy things
11:00.58Gnarfozprobably. I just replaced all line endings with periods, which is a bit much
11:01.24nevcairieltechnically a line break is not a sentence break
11:01.28nevcairielit might just be formatted odly
11:01.34nevcairiel+d
11:01.57nevcairielwe have punctuation for a reason
11:02.49Gnarfozof course
11:02.59Gnarfoza line break should cause something, though
11:03.17Gnarfozninety-nine red balloons go by ninety-nine red balloons sounds odd. :P
11:03.36Gnarfozlike balloons A are walking past balloons B
11:03.47Gnarfozhttps://research.googleblog.com/2017/12/tacotron-2-generating-human-like-speech.html it was this I was referring to, Tacotron
11:03.58Gnarfozwhich refers to WaveNet as "past work" :D
11:04.27Gnarfozexamples for the lazy https://google.github.io/tacotron/publications/tacotron2/index.html
11:04.35nevcairieloh yeah that was that google research page
11:04.46nevcairieland it definitely sounds better then wavenet
11:04.52nevcairielbut maybe its not quite ready et
11:08.44Gnarfozis anything ever
11:09.03nebulayour mom was ready last night
11:09.20Gnarfozready for you to be done after a minute
11:10.10GnarfozI read about Android Auto maybe finally getting wireless video transfer (i.e. instead of having to use USB); I wonder if that's something my car could be updated to use... (it does have wifi, but afaik it can only act as a client)
11:10.12nebulahey man, i got things to do
11:10.58quiescenstry to take over the world

12:14.13Gnarfozalso, when can I has this fancy new speech synthesis on my phone
12:14.43Gnarfozwouldn't that be a "killer app" for those otherwise useless "AI cores" some vendors are now including?

15:35.07starfoxlike you wouldn't complain if it was 12,483mb
15:35.19znf...and I had to re-encode it from 60MB
15:35.26znfdo you know how fucking long it takes to encode a 4min WebM?

15:42.19Funkeh`but is it a magic carpet
15:43.02znfstill, 25MB is arbitrary
15:45.38znfIf there's one thing that Facebook pisses me off about, it's not even the whole data leak and manipulation and privacy issues and whatever
15:45.48znfIt's the fucking digital degradation
15:46.19znfUpload PNG to facebook -> add JPEG until you can't fucking make the details in the image
15:46.29znfSame with Videos
15:46.51znfBasically you'd think that digital media would last forever in the original form and suffer no degradation over the time, but...

15:55.39silentium(make one pixel transparent so it doesn't convert the image to jpeg, works for some sites)
15:56.24znfnever tried it, but I doubt it
15:56.35znfnot intentionally I mean
15:56.45znfbut I've probably uploaded transparent PNGs and they were added a white background

17:17.55Gnarfoz<znf> If you want to use apple carplay with bmw idrive, you have to get the "bmw connected drive" package which is a yearly subscription  <-- sounds pretty German
17:18.07znflol
17:18.30GnarfozMirrorLink is still a thing here in some cars
17:19.14Gnarfozwhile I don't think it's a subscription with VW, I'm sure smartphone stuff on my mom's car could be "unlocked" through software
17:19.38Gnarfozwonder if that's possible with that 3rd party VAG software that I forgot the name of
17:19.53znfVCDS
17:19.58Gnarfozthat one
17:20.58znfyou need to have the hardware for it, apparently
17:21.01znfthen you can activate it
17:21.34Gnarfozwasn't the point of VCDS that you can do it without getting official VW garage-only hardware/software?
17:21.54Gnarfozi.e. get usb/obd plug, cross/add some wires possibly?
17:23.31znfno, I mean
17:23.33nebulai mean, if the value is stored in the ecm, sure, otherwise probably not so much with vag-com
17:23.50znfthe software option to enable that needs the hardware component for it :P
17:23.55Gnarfozoh
17:23.58Gnarfozyeah it has that
17:24.22Gnarfozthe infotainment system has the button for it or you can swipe there, but it says something like "yeah you didn't pay for this, yet"
17:24.23znfsome media things don't have it, it's apparently an extra option just to "prepare" for it, and then you need to activate it via a softwre key
17:24.26Gnarfoz(not sure what it says)
17:24.29znfAh, cool
17:24.31znfVCDS then
17:24.36Gnarfozdiscover media I think

17:25.40znfevery time I think abou the VW multimedia thing... I can't believe how had it is
17:25.48znfit's worse than BMWs
17:26.27starfoxare there cars with good multimedia things?
17:26.28starfox:S
17:26.52znf...good point :D
17:27.14starfoxnew car has one too, at least i can plug in my phone and it starts android auto
17:27.18starfoxso i guess i got that going for me
17:27.43GnarfozI like mine, but who doesn't, I guess
17:27.57znfI was disappointed by the iDrive
17:28.05starfoxwell, yea not like i got much to compare it too
17:28.25starfoxit plays radio and connects my phone with bt
17:28.31starfoxnot like i want much more from it
17:30.00starfoxbut good to know i can have google maps on it too when i'm in bumfuck whatever
17:30.01starfox:7
17:30.36Gnarfozthe final step up right now would be Android Auto without USB
17:30.47znfapparently CarPlay can do that
17:30.53Gnarfoznot that I"m aware of
17:31.11starfoxyea :)
17:31.19znfBMW can
17:31.20znfhttps://www.macrumors.com/roundup/carplay/#wireless_carplay
17:31.27Gnarfozwireless AA is in the works, no idea if there are any cars that support it, yet
17:31.55znfBMW does it...
17:32.07znfI mean CarPlay
17:32.12znfsorry, I didn't pick up on "AA"
17:32.50FiskerIt's already out Gnarfoz
17:33.06Gnarfozthe APK is, but I wrote something else
17:33.31FiskerMe too
17:33.35Gnarfoz(also the APK just contains bits and pieces that point to it happening? AFAIK)
17:33.41*** join/#wowace tunekey (~tunekey@unaffiliated/tunekey)
17:33.53Gnarfoz" connecting to the car over Bluetooth instead of through a Lightning cable. "? -- how would they transmit the video over bt
17:34.45znfdo they actually transmit video?
17:34.48Gnarfozof course
17:34.51Gnarfozwell, Android does
17:35.17FiskerApple does as well
17:35.34starfoxhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJadaqyhXp8
17:35.34Gnarfozbut then I doubt Apple would allow anyone to include enough iOS into their own product (=the car) to allow transmitting just "hey I did this, please display it"
17:35.34FiskerIt's just a variant of mirrorlink tech
17:35.40starfoxi guess there is more than bits and pieces :P
17:35.47FiskerAnd you wouldn't be able to do the video over Bluetooth
17:36.00znfGnarfoz, actually I think it does?
17:36.10znfelse, wouldn't it be much simpler?
17:36.27Gnarfozwould what be simpler?
17:36.55nebulai'm pretty sure carplay is the full ios installed in the car
17:37.02znfwouldn't it be simpler to implement if the phone would do all the work (and just send a video stream to the car, while somehow processing inputs)?
17:37.11Gnarfozthat's how it is.
17:37.24znfI'm with nebula on this one
17:37.29znfwell, not "full", but a lot of it
17:37.30FiskerIt's not nebula
17:38.07Gnarfozyou just said "wouldn't it be simpler if it was this way", and then you continue with "but I'm with nebula, it's probably not that way"? :D cynicism, I guess
17:38.58znfno dude
17:39.00nebulareally? i remember when people first found it in the firmware and could enable it
17:39.09znfI said: wouldn't it be simpler if it was just a stupid video stream?
17:39.30Gnarfozit IS a stupid video stream :D
17:39.35znfand I mean - it seems that manufacturers take a lot of time to implement it
17:39.39znfwhich leads me to believe it's not just that
17:39.51FiskerCars are complex znf
17:40.00znfcars are less complex than you think :P
17:40.08znfI've studied the bla... I mean CAN Bus
17:40.28Gnarfozthe display is probably the easiest part
17:40.36FiskerContinuous integration on a car is like several weeks/months from commit to production
17:41.44Gnarfoznebula: enable what in which firmware?
17:41.49FiskerAnd no that's not commit to customer then we're talking years if ever
17:42.50nebulaswitch to the carplay ui in the standard ios ipsw
17:44.00Gnarfozipsw?
17:44.05nebulasorry, firmware
17:44.13Gnarfozwell duh
17:44.13znfipsw is the file format of the firmware :P
17:44.24znfor, extension? whatever
17:44.34Gnarfozof course that's possible, since the phone is where the video output that gets displayed on the car display is rendered
17:44.51Gnarfoz(well ok, they could make it impossible. I just mean of course you would find that stuff in the phone firmware)
17:46.02nebulai know nothing about how this stuff works, i just assumed the car ran the full version of ios and was more like rdp than vnc
17:46.29znfanyway, what I want from a car infotainment hasn't been done yet, I think :P
17:46.30Gnarfozwhat kind of differentiation would you make between rdp and vnc? I don't follow :D
17:46.38FiskerMe neither
17:47.15Gnarfozalso, how does the phone behave when CarPlay is being used? is the phone usable at all?
17:47.20nebulavnc just sinces an image, rdp sends control info and the client renders it
17:47.35GnarfozRDP also sends bitmaps over the wire
17:47.35nebulajust sends*
17:48.03Gnarfozmaybe it has multiple modes? idk
17:48.34FiskerIt has some shit
17:49.11znfif I think about iDrive was decent from a UI point of view, I even liked the navigation style of it
17:49.15FiskerSo it can do real time stuff
17:49.24FiskerBut that's vista and newer
17:49.31znfthe integration of the phone is lacking unfortunately
17:49.39znfno real-time map updates is another bummer
17:49.52znfI would like Waze's data points, but iDrive's navigation style, for example
17:49.59Gnarfoz"Support for remoting the Aero Glass Theme (or Composed Desktop), including ClearType font-smoothing technology." -- I guess if you need support for specific features, that means you're not just sending a video
17:52.27Gnarfozanyhow, so... both CarPlay and Android Auto have software support for wireless connection, but apart from supposedly a single BMW car supporting Car Play, and 3rd party head units supporting Android Auto, nothing supports it? great
17:53.37znfCar Manufactuers are fossils :D
17:53.58nevcairielaero glass theme? from when is this? :p
17:54.10znfVista :D
17:54.21znfI remember something about "rdpx"
17:54.23znfor some crap like that
17:59.48FiskerThere's like a billion cars supporting it Gnarfoz ?
18:01.43znfI think he meant Wireless CarPlay
18:02.02FiskerOh
18:04.48znfI think!
18:04.49znf:P
18:11.57Gnarfoz(basically the entire convo was rooted in "wtb wireless phone integration, for car infotainment nirvana")
18:12.59nebulamaybe in another 10 years /comfort
18:16.08Gnarfoznext-ish car, then
