How I built it:

- Crawled a car-related website to gather relevant data.

- Converted the data into a CSV with over 20k rows, then asked Cursor AI to model and migrate it into my database.

- Used Cursor AI to build the entire Laravel website using the TALL stack (I had no prior experience with any of these components, but heard they were versatile).

- Had Cursor create the animations of the cars you see on the page.

- Leveraged my previous website-building experience (mostly with WordPress) to set up navigation, breadcrumbs, and a decent URL structure.

- Pushed the site live on Cloudways via GitHub (which was a new experience for me).

I’m sharing this for two reasons:

- To showcase my work—I'm proud of the end product (I chuckle when I see the car animation struggle to turn around in a narrow street).

- To highlight the capabilities of AI in building websites. I was genuinely impressed by what I could achieve with AI assistance throughout this project.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anything!

After my first research article on personal sleep data and happiness (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17558542), I wanted to do a follow-up.

Sleep is a factor that has a lot of influence on my life and mental well-being, yet there's a lot that I still need to learn about it.

This new article is my attempt at getting there. I want to use the lessons and observations from these analysis essays to steer my life in the best direction possible.

Thanks for sharing this research. I have a similar sleep schedule to yours (deprived weekdays, binge sleep on weekends) and find myself low on energy.

I had a period of time in my life where I was getting in bed early and waking up early (naturally) and that was when I was the most satisfied and had the most consistent sleep.

Now that I work in IT, I find myself more stressed and wanting to do more things that I enjoy to counter the stress of the daily grind and am fighting my sleep schedule again. I do feel quite out of balance and would like consistent sleep again, but that would probably require a less stressful job or coming to peace with my current job and situation.

Thanks for commenting! The things you say really resonate with me as that is exactly how I feel as well. After a long day at work, I wanna decompress and do things that I actually enjoy. This makes me happy on an otherwise dull day, but comes at the cost of my sleep... :(

What are the odds. Interesting case, thanks for the read :)

Surprisingly high. 350k people born per day - just takes one of them to break the law on a particular day and get caught.

I don't have the numbers for Australia/other western countries, but there are around 50,000 Chinese juveniles each year, to simplify the estimation, assuming birthday and when they commit their crimes are all evenly distributed during the year and there is no link between birthday and when/whether someone is going to be a criminal, you are looking at a few such cases a year in a country with 1.4 billion population.

the combined population of US/EU/AU/CA/NZ is close to the Chinese population, assuming the crime rate is the same (which is obviously not, thanks to the crime rate in US), you are look at a few such cases each year for the entire western world.

for australia, there were probably a few such cases after WWII.

This analysis was done when my girlfriend and I weren't yet living together. We currently are renting an apartment together, and this analysis would look entirely different lol. I will eventually try to update this article with my latest data :)

Haha I didn't think of that. That might be another cool analysis, though I can't think of a proper method to go with

I have read some of those, yes! My mind was blown when I read those since they matched my current situation at the time to the decimal. If you have any more links for me, I'd love to read more!

She is luckily okay with it, and supports me :) our relationship is currently better than ever!

Ah shit, that should not happen and I think that's on Google's end. Just in case, what device and browser are you on?

Thanks for letting me know and the nice words!

I have the same issue: Linux Desktop + Firefox 60

Chromium seems to display all charts without any problems (same computer).

Btw. it looks like once a chart has been loaded successfully, it is cached so that you have to clear/disable the browser cache in order to see the issue again.

Did you really mean to say this: "...recorded nearly 1.000 days of sleep..."
