I’ll just leave this here: https://clocks.brianmoore.com/
Entertaining mess. Nine new borked clocks a minute. A couple readable.
Oh, those AIs just really love that 2013 Hannibal Series!
I remember studying this (the illness, not the show) in psychology. Something like wernickes aphasisa? Or maybe brochas aphasisa?
Your brain fails to process like the left half of what it’s seeing, so they draw clocks only showing the left half with so the numbers there.
I was assuming they saw the post here a couple of days ago and screenshotted or got the idea from there
I wonder if the issue is that AIs just have no idea how to draw a clock. Or, is it that they’ve been trained on papers where doctors talk about the various issues patients sometimes have when drawing clocks.
I suspect it’s probably the first one. AIs seem to have a real problem with anything visually complicated. One of the easiest ways to spot AI slop is to look at the logos on t-shirts.
Ship it for beta testing
LGTM! (probably on a Friday)

That might be a good thing for all the gen alphas who can’t read a clock. There are a lot of them.
Ok boomer. No one uses sundials anymore either. /s.
Yeah but it’s sad that you’ll never appreciate the aesthetic of a good analog watch face. Every kid I see with a smartwatch uses a digital face.
There are computer science students who don’t know what a filesystem is.
It’s the little kit that you use to curate your fingernails
If its a system it needs to be some kind of swiss army knife type thing
When I see these generation-hating comments — specifically older generations hating on something the younger generations do — I can’t help but think about whose fault it is for whatever slight the older generation feels.
Who created digital clocks? Who created iPads and iPhones? Who created video games? Every single generation has their own slang that each previous generation fails to understand (not because it doesn’t make sense, but because the previous generations are too lazy and/or stubborn to learn).

I’ve met some from asia and europe
I’m mostly talking about this entire comment thread and not just this comment, but what’s with people on Lemmy and putting so much value on analogue clocks? I saw someone here a few weeks ago, who said that you couldn’t be intelligent if you didn’t know how to read a clock. I can read analogue clocks and I can understand why people like them, but digital clocks have their own advantages and I can absolutely understand people preferring them. It almost feels like a similar situation to 12 hour vs. 24 hour time, where people who use one system don’t understand why they would want to use the other one.
I don’t really ‘see’ analog or digital anymore, I’ve transcended that clock racism and now all I see is the format-agnostic bitstream.
Probably because they’re dead simple.
It’s not even about preference but about versatility and adaptability.
You don’t have to be prefer to use them, but being able to deal with the unexpected and figure out the unfamiliar is generally a sign of intelligence.
Lemmy has a lot of elitist tech people. They like to be smart, academic and they like systems that move and turn stretching mentally into the world of highly efficient analogue watches which are engineering master pieces. See it goes full circle here, no pun intended, but the watch an engineering piece you can be smart about is expensive and part of an elitist class that implicitly represents certain type of success
Edit: lol see I started reading the other comments literally the other guy that answered you specifically pointed out how it’s normal for him, but for you it should hint you a sign of intelligence
No there’s not
Plenty of people older than Gen Alpha very much prefer digital clocks too. I can read analog clocks but it takes me several seconds to convert it to digital time (which is how my brain thinks). As far as I’m concerned, analog clocks are a relic of the past and it’s a good thing to abolish as many of them as possible.
I’ve never liked them. It’s a design that’s like “give me a rough approximation of the time” vs. a digital clock that gives you the precise time. And, if all you want is a rough approximation of the time, a digital clock is still probably better because you just read the first few digits.
QA passed boss. All KPIs are green lights. The customer will be thrilled boss.

Seconds hand does not show seconds.
Polling the API every second, are you crazy?!
I keep trying, but the clock only displays 4:29.
What do?
Task for the next story. For now, just file a ticket and shove it up your manager’s ass.
When an API request fails, the seconds clock handle becomes red, and the time health management microservice sends an alert SMS to your phone once per second (scaled with the number of clients)
How will the system know when to poll the API if it doesn’t know seconds?
It can just sleep(1);
What about showing birthdays? We need a birthday experience. We need to hire a birthday guy to build it fast.
QA: Pass
If a real physical clock, that’s a helluva set of complications.
