BenchSelf
See your reaction time as a percentile, not a number
What it does
BenchSelf runs 19 browser self-tests: reaction time, click speed, memory, hearing, colour vision and pointing hardware. 17 of them return a percentile plus the device class it was computed within, because 240 ms on a mouse and 240 ms on a phone are not the same result.
Measure your visual reaction time in milliseconds, then see exactly where you rank against everyone else on the same kind of device. Five trials, no sign up.
Wait for red to turn green, then click as fast as you can. Five trials, then we place you in the population. The median on mouse is 273 ms . Run the test and we will place you against it. Your monitor, mouse, and browser all sit between you and this number. Compare results only across the same setup. Curve is a fitted baseline plus 4 first attempts recorded here. The baseline is a curve, not a sample: no part of it is a real person. Baseline fitted from Human Benchmark's published reaction time statistics (n=81,000,000) ( source ) . That figure pools every input device into one number. Splitting it by mouse, trackpad and touchscreen is our extrapolation, not theirs. Per-device offsets are…from benchself.com

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
