#Convert Audio to Text Application | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

Welp, I've been using external methods of auto-backing up my tumblr but it seems like it doesn't do static pages, only posts.

So I guess I'll have some manual backing up to do later

Still, it's better than nothing and I'm using the official tumblr backup process for my smaller blogs so hopefully that'll net the static pages and direct messages too. But. My main - starstruckpurpledragon - 'backed up' officially but was undownloadable; either it failed or it'd download a broken, unusable, 'empty' zip. So *shrugs* I'm sure I'm not the only one who is trying to back up everything at once. Wouldn't be shocked if the rest of the backups are borked too when I try to download their zips.

There are two diff ways I've been externally backing up my tumblr.

TumblThree - This one is relatively straight forward in that you can download it and start backing up immediately. It's not pretty, but it gets the job done. Does not get static pages or your direct message conversations, but your posts, gifs, jpegs, etc are all there. You can back up more than just your own blog(s) if you want to as well.

That said, it dumps all your posts into one of three text files which makes them hard to find. That's why I say it's 'not pretty'. It does have a lot of options in there that are useful for tweaking your download experience and it's not bad for if you're unfamiliar with command line solutions and don't have an interest in learning them. (Which is fair, command line can be annoying if you're not used to it.) There are options for converting the output into nicer html files for each post but I haven't tried them and I suspect they require command line anyway.

I got my blogs backed up using this method as of yesterday but wasn't thrilled with the output. Decided that hey, I'm a software engineer, command line doesn't scare me, I'll try this back up thing another way. Leading to today's successful adventures with:

TumblrUtils - This one does take more work to set up but once it's working it'll back up all your posts in pretty html files by default. It does take some additional doing for video/audio but so does TumblThree so I'll probably look into it more later.

First, you have to download and install python. I promise, the code snake isn't dangerous, it's an incredibly useful scripting language. If you have an interest in learning computer languages, it's not a bad one to know. Installing python should go pretty fast and when it's completed, you'll now be able to run python scripts from the command line/terminal.

Next, you'll want to actually download the TumblrUtils zip file and unzip that somewhere. I stuck mine on an external drive, but basically put it where you've got space and can access it easily.

You'll want to open up the tumblr_backup.py file with a text editor and find line 105, which should look like: ''' API_KEY = '' '''

So here's the hard part. Getting a key to stick in there. Go to the tumblr apps page to 'register' an application - which is the fancy way of saying request an API. Hit the register an application button and, oh joy. A form. With required fields. *sigh* All the url fields can be the same url. It just needs to be a valid one. Ostensibly something that interfaces with tumblr fairly nicely. I have an old wordpress blog, so I used it. The rest of the fields should be pretty self explanatory. Only fill in the required ones. It should be approved instantly if everything is filled in right.

And maybe I'll start figuring out wordpress integration if tumblr doesn't die this year, that'd be interesting. *shrug* I've got too many projects to start a new one now, but I like learning things for the sake of learning them sometimes. So it's on my maybe to do list now.

Anywho, all goes well, you should now have an 'OAuth Consumer Key' which is the API key you want. Copy that, put in between the empty single quotes in the python script, and hit save.

Command line time!

It's fairly simple to do. Open your command line (or terminal), navigate to where the script lives, and then run: ''' tumblr_backup.py <blog_name_here> '''

You can also include options before the blog name but after the script filename if you want to get fancy about things. But just let it sit there running until it backs the whole blog up. It can also handle multiple blogs at once if you want. Big blogs will take hours, small blogs will take a few minutes. Which is about on par with TumblThree too, tbh.

The final result is pretty. Individual html files for every post (backdated to the original post date) and anything you reblogged, theme information, a shiny index file organizing everything. It's really quite nice to dig through. Much like TumbleThree, it does not seem to grab direct message conversations or static pages (non-posts) but again it's better than nothing.

And you can back up other blogs too, so if there are fandom blogs you follow and don't want to lose or friends whose blogs you'd like to hang on to for your own re-reading purposes, that's doable with either of these backup options.

I've backed up basically everything all over again today using this method (my main is still backing up, slow going) and it does appear to take less memory than official backups do. So that's a plus.

Anyway, this was me tossing my hat into the 'how to back up your tumblr' ring. Hope it's useful. :D

3e: Psychofeedback

In game making we’re often talking about feedback loops. That is the idea that when something happens, in a process, it influences that same process the next time it happens. Feedback in audio is a problem you want to avoid. Feedback in marketing is something you want endlessly so you can always make a new excuse for why you need more feedback before committing to an optimal strategy. Feedback is everywhere in every interaction because if you weren’t getting feedback, you weren’t interacting.

TTRPGs are in many cases built on feedback. In most story-run games, ie, anything with what we call a DM or GM interchangeably unless you’re really persnickety about rules language, the game is fundamentally a feedback loop where that story-runner provides a stimulis and the players respond to and incorporate that feedback. Feedback is not a problem, feedback is the whole experience.

Art Source

That’s not what this is about.

This is about a single specific power in 3e D&D, called Psychofeedback, which was so broken I may have gotten it errata’d.

The rules system is 3rd edition Dungeons & Dragons. The book is Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Psionics Handbook by Bruce Cordell and I assume a lot of other people. In this book, we have the power Psychofeedback, and since you’re not in a position to get this book, here’s the relevant rules text, verbatim:

You can use power points to boost your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution modifiers as a free action. While the duration lasts, you can use power points on a round-by-round basis to boost any or all of your ability score modifiers (not the actual ability score) by a number equal to half the power points you expend for that round as a free action. For example, you can boost your Strength modifier by as much as 8 points (if you spend 16 power points).

That’s the important rules information. It lets you convert psionic power points to stat modifier at a 2:1 rate. Note that it’s not converting to stat points, but to stat modifier. Now, this means you don’t change things like your strength score (relevant for carrying capacity) but your strength modifier (relevant for single acts of strength like breaking objects or attacking people). This was a level 4 power, available for a Psion at level 8, or Psychic Warrior at level 10. It was also, largely, a completely unusable power, as designed, because the conversion rate didn’t really work out very well. It could be useful for a short burst of strength, but you couldn’t, for example, use it to temporarily inflate your hit points, because when your Constitution decreased, you’d lose those hit points you gained first. You could ge tougher, but you’d have to stay spending power points until you were healed. Neat effect but not amazing.

Interesting power, no real application.

Except.

In the same book we have the Mind Feeder weapon property. By level 8-10, it’s very reasonable to expect a character to have access to this weapon, whose rules state:

A mindfeeder weapon grants its wielder temporary power points equal to the total damage dealt by a successful critical hit.

How often do you get critical hits?

In this case, using core rules available items, a scimitar crits on 3 numbers (18, 19, 20). With improved critical, it crits on 6 numbers (adding 15, 16, 17). With Sharpness, it crits on 8 numbers (adding 14 and 13). That means that a mindfeeder weapon could critically hit just under half the time. What this could lead to was a character who dual-wielded small weapons like these and made five attacks a turn at level 10 (because of ubiquitous buff haste).

You can open with a Psychofeedback buff to your attack of, at that level, 26 power points, all you had. That means +13 to your strength modifier, meaning your attack would do something in the district of 1d4+your strength+magical mods+that extra 13 strength. There’s also this feat from the Player’s Handbook called power attack. Power attack let you exchange a penalty on hit for a bonus to your damage rolls. Remember how you spent those 26 power points for a +13 strength modifier? You have therefore, a +13 extra to hit. So without needing to change how likely you are to hit, you’re suddenly getting another +13 extra damage on that attack.

Now double it.

That meant that your first crit, which cost you 26 power points, is going to be like 2.5 dice-roll damage, +1 from the magical weapon, probably, +2 from a totally reasonable base strength mod, +13 from the new strength mod, +13 from power attack, doubled. That’s 63 power points. The next turn, you can turn those 63 power points into strength, for a +31 strength mod. Critting in that turn on five attacks is very reasonably likely, and that gets you 135 power points back. And that’s +67 Strength modifier. That would be equivalent to a strength of 145. While this is going on, your character is stronger than multiple gods of strength, combined.

You have ten rounds to do this, and every single high roll pushes you further ahead. And this is the thing at start; you don’t need to go much further for the wheels to come off this very fast. And this is level ten where you don’t have a lot of ways to build for ridiculous recovery, or forcing more chances to critically hit. Remember, this is a game system that’s meant to scale up past level 20 infinitely!

This is dumb. It’s also 3rd edition so you can even be mobile and do this, haste letting you make a partial charge to close on a new subject and then ginsu it with your full attack. But hey, at least those power points are temporary, so you can’t just spend all your time doing this in every encounter, right? At least you’re not ending every fight on full power points, after having a strength stat somewhere in the triple digits at some point, Right?

Art Source

Normally with these balance problems in the sprawling game system that is Dungeons & Dragons the problem is the intersection of systemic components that were not designed to necessarily know about one another. It’s usually about using parts from two different books, brought together in a way that resulted in something unintentionally powerful. This is different. This is using two things from the same book whose application to one another seems to be pretty reasonably obvious. This is almost as egregious as the problem of the Spelldancer, another 3e all-star with an internal feedback loop that worked with its own features in the most obvious way.

See, the thing is, now Psychofeedback says ‘temporary’ power points. When the book was new, it didn’t say temporary. It didn’t say that and I wrote a treatment on it for the Character Optimisation board showing how the whole thing broke with core material only, and then one of the website writers for the book showed up in the thread and said ‘oh, that shouldn’t work that way.’

Then we got an online errata for the rulebook, and then in the next edition of the book the rule was changed.

Check it out on PRESS.exe to see it with images and links!

How to back up your Tumblr blog

Not sure if all of you heard the news, but Wordpress laid off 16% of its staff, which happened to include senior tumblr staff like cyle. According to 3liza, the amount of staff running tumblr is about 25.

Welp. Will Tumblr finally die? I don't know. It's pretty likely, since this site costs millions to run and to host all this content, but I'll stay till the end. But I backed up my blog, with the help of a post that can't be reblogged rn.

you can reblog this one though.

Quoth butchlinkle: "In your blog settings you have the ability to initiate a blog export, and this will generate a backup for your blog.

Fair warning though, if you’ve been on the platform for a long time this archive is likely to be quite hefty in file size. This blog I have had for 5 years with 22k posts, and the export from tumblr came to be 48GB. My previous blog I made in 2011 and has 95k posts, so needless to say I did not use tumblr’s built in export to back that one up.

If you want more control over exactly what you back up from your blog, I recommend that you use tumblr-utils instead. It allows you to backup specific tags, post types, and to ignore posts that you did not create (reblogs where you’ve added a comment count unfortunately do not count unless you use the older version of the script made with python 2.7).

To use it:

download and install python

create an application on tumblr to get an api key

create a folder where you would like to save your backups and right click to open it in the terminal/command prompt, or type cmd.exe in the address bar from inside that folder

Backing up just my original posts from this blog with this command came to 632MB rather than 48GB, and also gave me the option to save my posts in JSON format which will be useful for converting my posts to a new format for self hosting.

On that note I’m currently looking into figuring out a simple (and ideally free) way of self hosting a static site blog that utilises activitypub, and also converting my old posts to re-host on said blog.

This post series by maho.dev on implementing activitypub with any static site is my primary source of guidance atm if you also want to try figure that out yourself, as well as having an explanation for why you’d even want to do this if you don’t already know

but if tumblr goes down before I get things sorted and write up a post about it then i’ll be reporting back on it via my bsky, mastodon, and toyhouse accounts

if you dont have an account on any of these I’ll also be sharing an update via my personal site’s RSS feed, link of which includes an explanation of what RSS is and some feed readers you can use, I highly recommend checking it out as getting a feed reader is going to be the best way you can stay connected with people if they scatter across the internet!

tldr: download tumblr-utils to backup your blog more efficiently, introduce yourself to RSS and get a feed reader to stay connected with people, consider saving mine so you can find out how to self host your blog later if tumblr goes down."

here's a guide from the notes: https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1yBWlk-yEgpSoEh3c9oLhz_kbLtUGqbqzOpCtJsvQgjI/mobilebasic?pli=1#h.u9vj7pezwpcy

Back up those blogs. This was way faster than trying to use Webarchive, and webarchive seems to be only good for saving text, audio, and video, because it saved none of the images. And remember: I did not write this guide, and I do not know a thing about coding or fixing bugs.

Open Platform For Enterprise AI Avatar Chatbot Creation

How may an AI avatar chatbot be created using the Open Platform For Enterprise AI framework?

I. Flow Diagram

The graph displays the application’s overall flow. The Open Platform For Enterprise AI GenAIExamples repository’s “Avatar Chatbot” serves as the code sample. The “AvatarChatbot” megaservice, the application’s central component, is highlighted in the flowchart diagram. Four distinct microservices Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Large Language Model (LLM), Text-to-Speech (TTS), and Animation are coordinated by the megaservice and linked into a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG).

Every microservice manages a specific avatar chatbot function. For instance:

Software for voice recognition that translates spoken words into text is called Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR).

By comprehending the user’s query, the Large Language Model (LLM) analyzes the transcribed text from ASR and produces the relevant text response.

The text response produced by the LLM is converted into audible speech by a text-to-speech (TTS) service.

The animation service makes sure that the lip movements of the avatar figure correspond with the synchronized speech by combining the audio response from TTS with the user-defined AI avatar picture or video. After then, a video of the avatar conversing with the user is produced.

An audio question and a visual input of an image or video are among the user inputs. A face-animated avatar video is the result. By hearing the audible response and observing the chatbot’s natural speech, users will be able to receive input from the avatar chatbot that is nearly real-time.

Create the “Animation” microservice in the GenAIComps repository

We would need to register a new microservice, such “Animation,” under comps/animation in order to add it:

@register_microservice( name=”opea_service@animation”, service_type=ServiceType.ANIMATION, endpoint=”/v1/animation”, host=”0.0.0.0″, port=9066, input_datatype=Base64ByteStrDoc, output_datatype=VideoPath, ) @register_statistics(names=[“opea_service@animation”])

It specify the callback function that will be used when this microservice is run following the registration procedure. The “animate” function, which accepts a “Base64ByteStrDoc” object as input audio and creates a “VideoPath” object with the path to the generated avatar video, will be used in the “Animation” case. It send an API request to the “wav2lip” FastAPI’s endpoint from “animation.py” and retrieve the response in JSON format.

Remember to import it in comps/init.py and add the “Base64ByteStrDoc” and “VideoPath” classes in comps/cores/proto/docarray.py!

This link contains the code for the “wav2lip” server API. Incoming audio Base64Str and user-specified avatar picture or video are processed by the post function of this FastAPI, which then outputs an animated video and returns its path.

The functional block for its microservice is created with the aid of the aforementioned procedures. It must create a Dockerfile for the “wav2lip” server API and another for “Animation” to enable the user to launch the “Animation” microservice and build the required dependencies. For instance, the Dockerfile.intel_hpu begins with the PyTorch* installer Docker image for Intel Gaudi and concludes with the execution of a bash script called “entrypoint.”

Create the “AvatarChatbot” Megaservice in GenAIExamples

The megaservice class AvatarChatbotService will be defined initially in the Python file “AvatarChatbot/docker/avatarchatbot.py.” Add “asr,” “llm,” “tts,” and “animation” microservices as nodes in a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) using the megaservice orchestrator’s “add” function in the “add_remote_service” function. Then, use the flow_to function to join the edges.

Specify megaservice’s gateway

An interface through which users can access the Megaservice is called a gateway. The Python file GenAIComps/comps/cores/mega/gateway.py contains the definition of the AvatarChatbotGateway class. The host, port, endpoint, input and output datatypes, and megaservice orchestrator are all contained in the AvatarChatbotGateway. Additionally, it provides a handle_request function that plans to send the first microservice the initial input together with parameters and gathers the response from the last microservice.

In order for users to quickly build the AvatarChatbot backend Docker image and launch the “AvatarChatbot” examples, we must lastly create a Dockerfile. Scripts to install required GenAI dependencies and components are included in the Dockerfile.

II. Face Animation Models and Lip Synchronization

GFPGAN + Wav2Lip

A state-of-the-art lip-synchronization method that uses deep learning to precisely match audio and video is Wav2Lip. Included in Wav2Lip are:

A skilled lip-sync discriminator that has been trained and can accurately identify sync in actual videos

A modified LipGAN model to produce a frame-by-frame talking face video

An expert lip-sync discriminator is trained using the LRS2 dataset as part of the pretraining phase. To determine the likelihood that the input video-audio pair is in sync, the lip-sync expert is pre-trained.

A LipGAN-like architecture is employed during Wav2Lip training. A face decoder, a visual encoder, and a speech encoder are all included in the generator. Convolutional layer stacks make up all three. Convolutional blocks also serve as the discriminator. The modified LipGAN is taught similarly to previous GANs: the discriminator is trained to discriminate between frames produced by the generator and the ground-truth frames, and the generator is trained to minimize the adversarial loss depending on the discriminator’s score. In total, a weighted sum of the following loss components is minimized in order to train the generator:

A loss of L1 reconstruction between the ground-truth and produced frames

A breach of synchronization between the lip-sync expert’s input audio and the output video frames

Depending on the discriminator score, an adversarial loss between the generated and ground-truth frames

After inference, it provide the audio speech from the previous TTS block and the video frames with the avatar figure to the Wav2Lip model. The avatar speaks the speech in a lip-synced video that is produced by the trained Wav2Lip model.

Lip synchronization is present in the Wav2Lip-generated movie, although the resolution around the mouth region is reduced. To enhance the face quality in the produced video frames, it might optionally add a GFPGAN model after Wav2Lip. The GFPGAN model uses face restoration to predict a high-quality image from an input facial image that has unknown deterioration. A pretrained face GAN (like Style-GAN2) is used as a prior in this U-Net degradation removal module. A more vibrant and lifelike avatar representation results from prettraining the GFPGAN model to recover high-quality facial information in its output frames.

SadTalker

It provides another cutting-edge model option for facial animation in addition to Wav2Lip. The 3D motion coefficients (head, stance, and expression) of a 3D Morphable Model (3DMM) are produced from audio by SadTalker, a stylized audio-driven talking-head video creation tool. The input image is then sent through a 3D-aware face renderer using these coefficients, which are mapped to 3D key points. A lifelike talking head video is the result.

Intel made it possible to use the Wav2Lip model on Intel Gaudi Al accelerators and the SadTalker and Wav2Lip models on Intel Xeon Scalable processors.

staff bot voice tutorial

hey guys. have you ever thought, "hey, I want the voices of the staff bots, but how do I get them?"

well, you're in luck, because I found the step by step guide in my pants pocket before doing laundry! crazy how that works. :3

go to this link here and choose your desired program / language -> https://www.cepstral.com/en/personal/download

download the voices "david" and "callie"

I recommend downloading them one at a time as to not bog down your computer. you will have to provide a name and email (maybe? I didn't try without it...oops.), but I skipped the phone number bit and it still let me download, so just mess around with it.

go to your downloads and open the "Cepstral_David_windows_6.2.3.801" program

your screen will show the two screens below. don't worry about your administrator command screen popping up! this program was built in 2013, this is normal :3

click next > agree to user license agreement > click next again

the program will ask which way you want to setup. click typical.

install and finish.

go to your "windows C:" (it may say "[product] C: instead) and go to "program files" (program files x86 works as well!)

scroll down your files until you see "cepstral" and open the "bin" folder

in the "bin" folder, scroll until you see the application "swiftalker" (should be near the bottom)

open the program. you'll have to get rid of all the text everytime you open it, so just do "ctrl+a" to highlight it and then backspace to delete. video tutorial under the cut because tumblr fucking sucks

to save your audio file, do file > export audio file > name your file > save. the file will automatically save as a .wav file; you can use a file converter to convert it into a .mp3!!

I hope this helps! if you have any questions, let me know!!

you can use capcut or any other video editing software to cut out the "please register me" or "this voice is not licensed" bits. if you need a tutorial on that, let me know!

Examples that would blow your mind

Text to video Text prompt: Two pandas playing cards

Image to video with text prompts Text prompt accompanying the images (from left): 1. A ship navigating the rough seas, thunderstorm and lightning, animated oil on canvas 2. Flying through a nebula with many twinkling stars 3. A wanderer on a cliff with a cane looking down at the swirling sea fog below on a windy day Image (left) and video generated (immediate right)

Credit: Google Zero-shot video stylization VideoPoet can also alter an existing video, using text prompts. In the examples below, the left video is the original and the one right next to it is the stylized video. From left: Wombat wearing sunglasses holding a beach ball on a sunny beach; teddy bears ice skating on a crystal clear frozen lake; a metal lion roaring in the light of a forge.

Credit: Google Video to audio The researchers first generated 2-second video clips and VideoPoet predicts the audio without any help from text prompts. VideoPoet also can create a short film by compiling several short clips. First, the researchers asked Bard, Google’s ChatGPT rival, to write a short screenplay with prompts. They then generated video from the prompts and then put everything together to produce the short film. Longer videos, editing and camera motion Google said VideoPoet can overcome the problem of generating longer videos by conditioning the last second of videos to predict the next second. “By chaining this repeatedly, we show that the model can not only extend the video well but also faithfully preserve the appearance of all objects even over several iterations,” they wrote. VideoPoet can also take existing videos and change how the objects in it move. For example, a video of the Mona Lisa is prompted to yawn.

Credit: Google Text prompts can also be used to change camera angles in existing images. For example, this prompt created the first image: Adventure game concept art of a sunrise over a snowy mountain by a crystal clear river. Then the following prompts were added, from left to right: Zoom out, Dolly zoom, Pan left, Arc shot, Crane shot, and FPV drone shot.

Ethical and Societal Implications As with any advanced technology, VideoPoet comes with its set of ethical considerations. The ease of creating realistic videos raises questions about authenticity and the potential for misuse. It's crucial for users and developers alike to navigate these challenges responsibly, ensuring that this powerful tool is used for positive and ethical purposes.
