How do they do time without JavaScript? Is there an API I’m not aware of?
CSS animation. It's not the real time. Just a hypothetical time.
I’m imagining some must be using JS because I’m seeing (rarely…) times that are perfectly correct.

Re: AI World Clocks
#152hi, 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?"

#153where's opus/sonnet! very curious on that!
Re: AI World Clocks
#154This is cool, interesting to see how consistent some models are (both in success and failure)
I tried gpt-oss-20b (my go-to local) and it looks ok though not very accurate. It decided to omit numbers. It also took 4500 tokens while thinking.
I'd be interested in seeing it with some more token leeway as well as comparing two or more similar prompts. like using "current time" instead of "${time}" and being more prescriptive about including numbers

#155I've been struggling all week trying to get Claude Code to write code to produce visual (not the usual, verifiable, text on a terminal) output in the form of a SDL_GPU rendered scene consisting of the usual things like shaders, pipelines, buffers, textures and samplers, vertex and index data and so on, and boy it just doesn't seem to know what it's doing. Despite providing paragraphs-long, detailed prompts. Despite d…
I’m not sure if it's just me, but I've also noticed Claude becoming even more lazy. For example, I've asked it several times to fix my tests. It'll fix four or five of them, then start struggling with the next couple, and suddenly declare something like: "All done, fixed 5 out of 10 tests. I can’t fix the remaining ones", followed by a long, convoluted explanation about why that’s actually a good thing.

#156LLMs can't "look" at the rendered HTML output to see if what they generated makes sense or not. But there ought to be a way to do that right? To let the model iterate until what it generates looks right.
Currently, at work, I'm using Cursor for something that has an OpenGL visualization program. It's incredibly frustrating trying to describe bugs to the AI because it is completely blind. Like I just wanna tell it "there's no line connecting these two points but there ought to be one!" or "your polygon is obviously malformed as it is missing a bunch of points and intersects itself" but it's impossible. I end up having to make the AI add debug prints to, say, print out the position of each vertex, in order to convince it that it has a bug. Very high friction and annoying!!!

#157Watching 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.
Right as you said that, I checked kimi k2’s “clock” and it was just the ascii art: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wonder if that is some type of fallback for errors querying the model, or k2 actually created the html/css to display that.

#158Most 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
"One variation of the test is to provide the person with a blank piece of paper and ask them to draw a clock showing 10 minutes after 11. The word "hands" is not used to avoid giving clues."
Hmm, ambiguity. I would be the smart ass that drew a digital clock for them, or a shaku-dokei.

Kinda - Hand waiving over the question of if an LLM can really "look" but you can connect Cursor to a Puppeteer MCP server which will allow it to iterate with "eyes" by using Puppeteer to screenshot it's own output. Still has issues, but it does solve really silly mistakes often simply by having this MCP available.
Re: AI World Clocks
#160Earlier quoted context omitted.
It could be that the prompt is accidentally (or purposefully) more optimised for Kimi K2, or that Kimi K2 is better trained on this particular data. LLM's need "prompt engineers" for a reason to get the most out of a particular model.
It's not fair to use prompts tailored to a particular model when doing comparisons like this - one shot results that generalize across a domain demonstrate solid knowledge of the domain. You can use prompting and context hacking to get any particular model to behave pseudo-competently in almost any domain, even the tiny This experiment, however, clearly states the goal with this prompt: `Create HTML/CSS of an analog…
Qwen 2.5 is so bad it’s good. Some really insane results if you watch it for a while. Almost like it’s taking the piss.
