hi, I made this. thank you for posting. I love clocks and I love finding the edges of what any given technology is capable of. I've watched this for many hours and Kimi frequently gets the most accurate clock but also the least variation and is most boring. Qwen is often times the most insane and makes me laugh. Which one is "better?"

#112Watching this over the past few minutes, it looks like Kimi K2 generates the best clock face most consistently. I'd never heard of that model before today! Qwen 2.5's clocks, on the other hand, look like they never make it out of the womb.

#113Ask Claude or ChatGPT to write it in Python, and you will see what they are capable of. HTML + CSS has never been the strong suit of any of these models.

#115Most look like they were done by a beginner programmer on crack, but every once in a while a correct one appears.
It's interesting how drawing a clock is one of the primary signals for dementia. https://www.verywellhealth.com/the-clock-drawing-test-98619
I could not get to the store because of the cookie banner that does not work (at left on mobile chrome and ff). The Internet Archive page: https://archive.ph/qz4ep
I wonder how this test could be modified for people that have neurological problems - my father's hands shake a lot but I would like to try the test on him (I do not have suspicions, just curious).
I passed it :)

LLMs are terrible for out-of-distribution (OOD) tasks. You should use chain of thought suppression and give constaints explictly. My prompt to Grok: --- Follow these rules exactly: - There are 13 hours, labeled 1–13. - There are 13 ticks. - The center of each number is at angle: index * (360/13) - Do not infer anything else. - Do not apply knowledge of normal clocks. Use the following variables: HOUR_COUNT = 13 ANGLE…
I'll also note that the output isn't quite right --- the top number should be 13 rather than 1!

More like fell headfirst into the ground.
I'm disappointed with Gemini 2.5 (not sure Pro or Flash) -- I've personally had _fantastic_ results with Gemini 2.5 Pro building PWA, especially since the May 2025 "coding update." [0]

#119This gives better results, at least for me.

It should be pretty clear already that anything which is based (limited?) to communicating words/text can never grasp conceptual thinking. We have yet to design a language to cover that, and it might be just a donquijotism we're all diving into.
> We have yet to design a language to cover that, and it might be just a donquijotism we're all diving into. We have a very comprehensive and precise spec for that [0]. If you don't want to hop through the certificate warning, here's the transcript: - Some day, we won't even need coders any more. We'll be able to just write the specification and the program will write itself. - Oh wow, you're right! We'll be able to…
If you're actualy doing real work you have nothing to fear from LLMs because any prompt which is specific enough to create a given computer program is going to be comparable in terms of complexity and effort to having done it yourself.
