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

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

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…
