I’m not about to be a criminal but that sounds like the worst possible privacy infringement.... actually having companies own your DNA? yikes. Doesn't it sound like the premise for a Gibson novel? Some dystopian cyberpunk shit. No thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) I'm trying to read what I thought was the beginner's lite (read: "approachable") version of the arguments in A Critique of Pure Reason (Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics) and I'm feelin' real stupid.

The thing with the DNA test is that I'm not sure what timeline they're using. My dad had a test done too, and apparently there's Blackfoot on his side.

Pretty sure Kant wrote that thing with the express intent of making other people feel stupid. To that end it has been one of philosophy's greatest success stories.

user Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I have this thing where when I’m to solve a problem or trying to work something out I’ll keep trying a method I know is not gonna work even when I already know what it is that I should be trying instead. Wonder if there is some sort of name for that besides stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Yeah, that popped into my head right after hitting "submit reply". Actually, it was "foolhardiness" but that's more or less the same thing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcock Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 can anyone do me a small favour and recommend a piece of free software that can just add audio files to video files? I have aftereffects but i cannot for the fucking life of me figure out why it is exporting videos off my phone that are 1.2 gigabytes as 25 gigabyte AVI's when all ive done is added a direct recording of the piano and change the brightness.

No, I'm saying that the book requires an extreme level metacognition in order to make sense of it. I wasn't able to dissect my thoughts to such a degree until the psilocybin. Trying to read Pure Reason before experiencing it was impossibly difficult, but afterwards it was completely coherent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Once when I was coming down from 'shrooms, I read some Nitzsche and thought it had way deeper clarity than ever before. I think I was just in the headspace to be amazed by everything though... not saying that's the same in your case. It just reminded me of that. The trip itself was sheer hell, and Neitzsche provided a strange relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rendering video can be a real headache if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing. It used to be possible to do what you want in QuickTime, not sure if it still is. Otherwise try VLC.

All i need to do is line it up to be frame perfect with the moment my finger hits the first note, which is actually easier said than done with any free software ive tried. Im going to see if i can figure out how to export and Avi properly in after effects though, it seems to be pointlessly upscaling the resolution to its maximum.

cruising for burgers Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yeah exporting video is a pain in the ass unless you know how the exporting parameters work... Maybe there's presets in afterfx? Like small size low quality, medium size etc etc... I didnt know you could do that kind of shit in vlc... I always thought vlc was a simple video player... Are you on windows? I think you can do it pretty easily with windows movie maker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 if you can run ffmpeg/avconv in a terminal, it's very straightforward to just load a video track and an audio track as two input files and mux them together. i wouldn't do it any other way :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even wrote the code and saved it on a text file... But recently I tried to use it and it's exporting completely different segments from what I remember... I need to check the /help again...
