i'm currently rushing for something atm, but the tool failed to detect the streamer

#

anws after bypass scores look good, that's dog and giraffe

#

oh wait, is it because the stream is darker or something today?

timid swift

if we don't know how to solve, then the best we can do is monitor and document and refine our information such that someone who comes along might find a solution more easily. That and taking it chill. Wigging out won't get us anywhere :p

Not big bell, just an interesting event. At around midnight today, the tool detected a change in Hello World's subtitles. The contents were empty, but the timecodes for when the missing subtitles would be displayed is still present.

After checking the video, I reran the tool and the integrity was restored.

Here is the commit for those interested: https://github.com/neuro-arg/arg-monitoring/commit/821b129acc65894b1f19d80c458921631f9231a0

In particular, this is what the subtitles were at midnight:

WEBVTT\nKind: captions\nLanguage: en\n\n00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:01.550 align:start position:0%\n \n\n\n00:00:01.550 --> 00:00:04.249 align:start position:0%\n \n \n\n00:00:04.249 --> 00:00:07.130 align:start position:0%\n \n \n\n00:00:07.130 --> 00:00:08.330 align:start position:0%\n \n \n\n00:00:08.330 --> 00:00:10.549 align:start position:0%\n \n \n\n00:00:10.549 --> 00:00:13.370 align:start position:0%\n \n \n\n00:00:13.370 --> 00:00:14.240 align:start position:0%\n \n \n\n00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:14.250 align:start position:0%\n \n \n\n00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:24.370 align:start position:0%\n \n\n\n00:00:24.370 --> 00:00:27.500 align:start position:0%\n \n \n\n

We must research early UK entertainment for clues

#

Subtitle shenanigans happened to numbers 1, study and hello world today.

Numbers 2 didn't recover. I'm assuming youtube changed something about how auto captions works

#

For reference, the only offical videos with CC are meaning of life and psv, both of which still haven't been impacted (yet)

timid swift
#

I would assume they change something all the time. Youtube sits atop a goldmine for speech to text training data. I would think they might just update the auto captions while they're running their tests anyway

safe monolith
#

Interesting, just experimenting to see if I can fix things:

  • youtube-dl --skip-download --write-auto-sub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc-QCoMm4J8 - This gives me the real automatically generated subtitles
  • youtube-dl --skip-download --write-auto-sub --sub-lang en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc-QCoMm4J8 - This gives me a subtitle file with only the timecodes. Every other language works, though

Both produces Numbers-wc-QCoMm4J8.en.vtt on my machine

#

some part of me wants to check what youtube-dl's doing when it doesn't get the --sub-lang flag, but if it works it works neuroShrug

quick update: fixed on latest commit apparently, so I'll just update youtube-dl like a good boy

#

Subtitle integrity for all videos restored 👍

wispy thistle
uncut cargo
#

well a human inside a computer could count to that

#

as always using SOMA as example

#

your mind always interprets reality in a way its programmed too

#

with computer...it gets a little complicated

#

because its hard to determine how the mind would behave and interpret surroundings

#

if you're mind can't interpret any information, you're basically stuck in a void

#

if you're mind can generate a body or feeling of a body

#

well then you're still stuck in the void but can at least feel your own body and breath

#

third option, it can interpret the information and create some sort of view

#

so now you're not stuck in the void anymore

#

but its hard to say how the world would look like? bunch of static? a 3d render?
Again hard to guess how the brain would react to raw input without proper interface

#

but mind is also great at adapting, so potentially you could adapt to understand the surroundings

#

however only how much tech stuff and nature allows you to

#

oh and you would have to not succumb to madness first

#

which is probably very easy when your senses are either blank or complete gibberish

safe monolith
#

no stream is clue

abstract horizon
#

Currently there are many meaningless things that are useless or that do not lead anywhere or that there are no solutions such as dead ends or loose ends, or so some might think, if they are there it is for a reason, the fact that they are not useful now is something else. Everything has a solution, whether we have realized it or not, it is different.

That's what i think

safe monolith

i don't think we've declared anything meaningless yet

aight imma head into a information dive be back when i find some stuff

digital radish

the goverment is not source of information about the arg.

#

or is it?

hmmm

#

idk bout that

#

but why tf does usgs give a raw file

#

and takedown the site that contains all details about the lunar orbiter project

also i need a raw file reader

it loads in photopea because there's a raw editor

#

NeuroClueless ok so i've been playing voices of the void and it reminded me of [Filtered] because of how one of the gameplay aspects

#

i wonder if we have to do something similar to "listen" to filtered

ember tapir
#

Halllo

#

Anything i missed?

uncut cargo
#

Docs, timeline

hollow garnet
#

but like it doesn't look too dissimilar to [Filtered]

#

though that is yet another shot in the dark

#

(obviously some amount of this is enhanced for the game, but surely the idea can carry over to some level)

ember tapir
#

I have a hunch like

#

I think the next clue is going to be dropped at SoundCloud

#

Cause of that ghost track

tulip minnow
#

hollow garnet
digital radish
#

the clue is already out there

#

we just dont wanna look for it :trol:

#

ill keep saying it, if you dont put time into the clues you wont get anywhere

hollow garnet
#

yeah who would ever be writing code to try and test their theory right now NeuroClueless

digital radish
#

you said you wanna make this fun, probably by not working at all

#

bred

#

its not just you that needs to try

#

i am too dumb to do anything NeuroClueless

#

but i know the clue is already out there

hollow garnet
#

ok this might not be it perchance

#

I think this approach is less effective than expected

wispy thistle
#

i mean we already know it has video

#

encoding audio on top of the video would be quite hard

hollow garnet
#

this is what I thought it might possibly be

#

(but like, video -> audio instead)

wispy thistle
#

no i meant that the [filtered] video contains video data

hollow garnet
#

ooh

#

that could explain why there's visible "chunks" in it

wispy thistle
#

havent we already "decoded" it? to the pictures

#

if we were to do further processing, we'd have to get rid of the picture to get a clean version of the noise

hollow garnet
#

did you see the method Pepega

wispy thistle
#

yes, isn't it interpreting pixels as frequencies?

hollow garnet
#

not the one for the pictures

#

that's some cursed guessing about rotation amount for each line of the image

wispy thistle
#

but it works, any change shows very clear discrepancies, there's a very notable difference between the rightmost and leftmost pixels, and the image looks fine otherwise

#

it does count as decoded to some extent at least imo, even if we have no idea about the audio and how the video noise was generated

hollow garnet
#

idk I feel like we're still missing something about the video part

wispy thistle
#

sure, but we'd have to look into the noise, not raw data

#

because the raw data is very clearly hiyori (with shifted lines)

#

it would usually taint other interpretations of the data

#

of course its theoretically possible that it's some miracle algorithm that can encode a sound in a picture just by shifting lines, but imo there's more going on than that

unique mason
#

i dont understand what u guys r trying to do neuroReading

#

pls explain if u can neuroComfy

hollow garnet
wispy thistle
#

interpreting audio, video, noise/glitch patterns

#

so far [filtered]'s hiyori picture is basically the only thing that's been found with such methods i think

cunning osprey
#

The weird part about the video is that it's clearly not entirely random, you can see Hiyori in some frames between the random noise, and at least a few frames seem close to the frames next to it
It also seems to be horizontally segmented somehow, but it's unclear how to get any data out of that neuroDeadge

wispy thistle
#

we have unshifted it to get hiyori already, but the noise patterns don't seem entirely random yeah

#

see here also

unique mason
cunning osprey
unique mason
hollow garnet
wispy thistle
#

proper is in quotes because while the algorithm is correct, it's unknown why it is that way

cunning osprey
#

I mean, do we know that the algorithm is correct?
It seems to have an above average rate of success at aligning the edge of the Hiyori stock photo with the edge of the video, but we still can't do that successfully for just a single frame, right?
At least it proves that there's some horizontal movement going on.

wispy thistle
#

if you play with the algo just a little it's very clear it's correct

#

a better question is how is the noise generated

cunning osprey
#

Maybe I should look at that algorithm again and see if it can be further improved somehow, it's been a while now evilDeadge
Still not convinced that it's correct though, IMO the average has too many artifacts for that, if we have the right algorithm it should look a lot cleaner

wispy thistle
#

the averages in the google doc are before the unshift i think?

#

anyway again see here

#

the pixels at the rightmost column are exactly the same on all frames after unshifting

cunning osprey
#

Isn't that just because of how the unshifting works? It has to be aligning something

#

It being a wider column (instead of just a single column of black pixels) makes sense since the entire video seems to be split into such columns

wispy thistle
#

what if we plot the line shifts

cunning osprey
#

I think that happened already, I remember grayscale images that were generated from that.
They had some weird lines, but I don't think we got anything more from that

#

Oh, yeah it's in the doc

Error correction diagram

Y-axis is line height
X-axis is time
Pixel brightness is how far the line was rotated at the given time at the given line height

wispy thistle
#

hmm given the fact there's only one frame i found which has a part that perfectly overlaps the previous frame's part, maybe we could do better

safe burrow
timid swift
#

There could be something in a single frame of [Filtered], we won't properly know if we don't find a way to clean it up in a proper way. The best we have now is bred's edge detection system, but it's my impression it makes mistakes at least some of the time. We will either have to figure out how to correctly rotate, or rotate manually.

#

One thing we could try is to rotate a few frames manually until they're perfect and see if the rotation amount has any patterns either in the same frame or across frames

hollow garnet
#

Pepega why do they do that

timid swift
#

what is this, again?

hollow garnet
#

take each frame, read it left-to-right, line by line
convert each pixel to a 0-255 value
make a wav file from that

#

(cropped to avoid the black bars)

timid swift
#

oh, right. So what's wrong in the picture?

hollow garnet
#

usually your waveform is centred on the line in the middle

timid swift
#

you just said it yourself, tho

#

0-255. The first frames are dark, gradually getting brighter

hollow garnet
#

oh yeah that makes sense

#

im silly

#

anyways it sounds like a helicopter NeuroClueless

timid swift
#

share a clip (maybe make it a little quiter, so we don't blow someone's ears out)

hollow garnet
safe burrow
hollow garnet
#

but this is what i used to get it from the wav file

safe burrow
#

Typical me

timid swift
#

you're gonna blow someone's ears out..i'm not even joking

hollow garnet
#

problem here is each frame has like 20 seconds of audio

#

spectrogram is unsuprisingly pretty useless

timid swift
#

it would be absolutely insane if that was something

hollow garnet
#

did you see the thing i linked from the game

timid swift
#

it'd be insane even then! :p

#

you could try higher bitrates if each frame takes too much time

hollow garnet
#

its already got a sample rate of 48khz

#

problem is there's 1229040 samples per frame and 2565 frames

#

which is actually almost eactly 2^16 seconds at 48khz NeuroClueless

timid swift
#

so? max is 4.3 GHz

hollow garnet
#

breadth my hearing only goes up 20 to 20khz

#

i mean i guess it'd make a neat spectrogram

timid swift
#

no no, get a dog to listen to it NeuroClueless

hollow garnet
#

last time i checked dogs can't listen to wifi

timid swift
#

imagine if it was supposed to be interpreted as wifi, that'd be bonkers

hollow garnet
#

throw it over the rf spectrum and cause hell

#

windows did not like the 2^32hz sample rate

timid swift
#

what about VLC? It plays anything

hollow garnet
#

i threw it at mpv and it closed instantly

timid swift
#

"hi and goodbye"

hollow garnet
#

i did the inverse to the audio on the video

#

each image is about 25 seconds of audio

hollow garnet
#

ok so fun fact if you convert all of the frames of the video's centre into a long binary file you get a suprising amount of valid strings

timid swift
# hollow garnet

Is ultraedit still a thing? I used it like a billion years ago for very large files

#

but also, i think exact binary wouldn't work because of the compression

hollow garnet
#

i had a look for any links in the file

#

or well, any obvious links starting with http

timid swift
#

hmm, again, wouldn't that require the data be lossless?

hollow garnet
#

ish?

#

actually yeah probably would need to be completely lossless

#

also no matches for neuro

#

also here's all the data put into an image (then resized down so its viewable)

timid swift
#

that's a lot of diagonal lines

#

well, not diagonal diagonal, just not horizontal

hollow garnet
#

i assume the big visible lines are from the brief viewable sections

timid swift
#

yeah, but i mean like this (the black line between the two red)

hollow garnet
#

ah

#

i would send the full image but its a gigabyte big and crashed the windows photo viewer

timid swift
#

gigabytes? I'm sure discord's image server would love that NeuroClueless

hollow garnet
#

NeuroClueless 1gb is less than 100mb right

timid swift
#

1 < 100, lgtm

hollow garnet
#

i also tried interpreting it as rgb and rgba but it looks basically the same

#

which is weird but meh

#

the only really surprising thing here for me is how long each "run" of a given colour is

timid swift
#

you mean like the lines? #nowInColors

hollow garnet
#

in colour it still looks like this

#

which implies that the rgba values are all pretty similar

#

this is the differences between pixels for the 100th frame and the first small negative jump at datapoint 569 and the major jump at 1137 (i realize now this is the end of a line as each line is 1138 long NeuroClueless )

#

but a lot of the pixels are very similar

#

i think i might be on the wrong track Pepega

timid swift

this is the longest valid string in the file, surely a clue NeuroClueless

  4. vedal is working on the next ARG thing and is not ready to release it yet

uncut cargo
#

#

its been so long without a new video

#

so I truly believe we are waiting for the 27th

#

like, if there's new video why not wait a week or two longer for the anniversary

distant girder
#

hollow garnet
#

NeuroClueless watch nothing happen

ember tapir
#

But bro did infact

#

Did not deny the arg's existance

uncut cargo
#

vedal foten doesn't break ARG immersion

#

HOWEVER if it was stopped

#

he would said so...probably

#

so we're not just chasing shadows

#

actually

#

27th of april

#

is there anything special on that day?

ember tapir
#

The start of the arg?

uncut cargo
#

I might be onto something

ember tapir
#

Oh wait

#

Actually

#

Now that I've think about it

uncut cargo
#

*I've thought about it nERMd

ember tapir
#

Jesus man

digital radish
ember tapir
#

We're onto something

digital radish
#

on the halloween stream

#

i was indeed wrong

uncut cargo
#

vedal likes to bait and provoke

ember tapir
#

Hmmm

digital radish
#

there was no new qr code

ember tapir
#

Does neuro have a schedule or something?

uncut cargo
#

digital radish
uncut cargo
#

ember tapir
#

Fuckin hell so we dont know shit on whats about to happen in april 27

uncut cargo
#

we can't know

ember tapir
#

Tbh thats the whole point ig

uncut cargo
#

HOWEVER keep in mind

#

videos were uploaded on 27th

#

but we were supposed to find them on v2 debut

#

month later

#

in may

#

so its either 27th

ember tapir
#

Or in may

uncut cargo
#

or the V2 debut anniversary

#

yep

#

either of those

#

anyway we are certain to get something

ember tapir
#

Yea ig

#

Its been like my regular schedule to go over the docs everyday

uncut cargo
#

or vedal will show us a middle finger and publish it before that

ember tapir
#

Also can i ask?

#

Can you hide osu maps from the beatmaps listing?

uncut cargo
#

odd question

#

sec

ember tapir
#

Yeah cause

uncut cargo
#

I do not think so

#

you can either delete or put it in some collection

ember tapir
#

Yeah cause in the "meaning of life" doc it is mentioned that [Filtered] doesn't go out that much

#

And always just sits in front of the [Filtered] (Which i suspect is the word "computer" context wise)
