b, e, g, h are all 1..3 ;) https://gist.github.com/EriksRemess/62f946bda713da80c7905d1c059385b7 https://gist.github.com/EriksRemess/62f946bda713da80c7905d1c...

  Yeah, you’re totally right, and “red” can also be “blue” of course I didn’t go into that but I should have mentioned it. There are also multiple resolutions for the videos…! It’s truly 1440 videos times all of the options…! Have you have been able to decode what the b, e, g and h options mean?
  • diimdeep 5y ago
    Is there larger resolution than 1080p ?
    • gregsadetsky 5y ago
      Someone posted a trailer they found (that has since been removed) with “7000k” in the url, so… maybe? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28448361 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28448361 Having looked at it a bit more, I only see "low" and "high" mentioned as qualities. You can replace "high" with "low" in the list of URLs I included (see my gist, posted above) and they seem to work e.g., https://thechoiceisyours.whatisthematrix.com/generated/v7/low/1e4bc704804d64a331506f2f64b93e8f.mp4 https://thechoiceisyours.whatisthematrix.com/generated/v7/lo... There is an intriguing list in the source code though: ["4000k", "5000k", "6000k", "7000k", "8000k", "9000k", "12000k", "15000k"] which ... could be a list of (pretty extreme) resolutions? Or are these color temperatures?
      • cwizou 5y ago
        15k is getting very blue in terms of temperature. Maybe bitrates? Those would also fit.
        • gregsadetsky 5y ago
          You've been vindicated, it's definitely bitrate! :-) See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28464228 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28464228

      Looks like there are just two resolutions - "high" 1080p, "low" 720p h = ["high", "low"]
  • Eriks 5y ago
    b, e, g, h are random number from 1 to 3 Math.floor(Math.random() * 3) + 1 edit: b, e, g, h are different segments included. So all unique segments are in these videos: blue-a-b1-c0000-d-e1-f-g1-h1-i 1f3dbdfd6a7c3d574b6b9eb8d07a3567.mp4 blue-a-b2-c0000-d-e2-f-g2-h2-i 241eb47071c89d8f18b0948763d6389a.mp4 blue-a-b3-c0000-d-e3-f-g3-h3-i 498ec3ba6719291e77b2a8870c744bdf.mp4 red-a-b1-c0000-d-e1-f-g1-h1-i ea2222b8b7a5c72396f76d65cf56890a.mp4 red-a-b2-c0000-d-e2-f-g2-h2-i bac726340f5486d9e02942c243e5b56b.mp4 red-a-b3-c0000-d-e3-f-g3-h3-i ce1aef26388b49562eab495b597e8fbc.mp4
    • gregsadetsky 5y ago
      Oh, so you’re saying that there are only 3 unique video segments, but you might get a 1..3 random number for all b, e, g and h arguments…? So 1440 per-minute videos * 2 pill colors (red/blue) * 3^4 segments (1..3 values for each b, e, g, h argument) * 2 video qualities (high/low)!
      • Eriks 5y ago
        3 different segments per key/argument, 4 keys/arguments, 2 colors = only 24 random segments inserted
        • gregsadetsky 5y ago
          Sorry do you mean that not all b, g, etc. argument values are possible? So b1 g2 for example might be possible, but b2 g1 might not exist? i.e. are values truly random / uniformly distributed?
          • Eriks 5y ago
            any combination is possible but, e.g., all blue videos with g3 will have same g segment.
            • gregsadetsky 5y ago
              Makes sense, thanks!
