Database choice is downstream of data model, not the other way around. Too many projects start with "let us use Postgres" or "let us use MongoDB" without first understanding their access patterns.
This is really cool, even better than the post, IMO (sorry OP!)
One question: when the second hand resets from 60->0, it visually jerks as the triangle moves. After the smooth movement, gradients, the cool multicolour fill, it feels very odd. Any way of smoothing that one out? Animating the flip back to zero? I do understand it's a one-way line not a circle...

Love the look of that! Really cool

I love your clock btw.

Reminds me of Lord Vetinari's Clock:
The clock in Lord Vetinari’s anteroom didn’t tick right. Sometimes the tick was just a fraction late, sometimes the tock was early. Occasionally, one or the other didn’t happen at all. This wasn’t really noticeable until you’d been in there for five minutes, by which time small but significant parts of the brain were going crazy.

Evaluation in LLM applications is still an unsolved problem. Most teams rely on vibes-based assessment. Rigorous evaluation frameworks that correlate with real-world performance remain elusive.

Got me thinking about novel clock designs in digital space - seems like something vibe coding could open the floodgates to :)
I made an alphabetically-organised clock. I am sorry.

It's fine. Made me think of alphabetical organization, if you could sort an alphabet by any meaningful order rather then, well, alphabetical

This is spectacular. Nice work.

As you should be. I look forward to more of this nonsense.

I have seen teams spend months fine-tuning retrieval algorithms when the real issue was that their ingestion pipeline was feeding HTML boilerplate into the vector store. Fix the input first.

Great idea!
I'd like to make a german version, since the two digit numbers are sorted differently. E.g. 34 is sorted vier(4)_und_dreißig(30).

Thanks, Satan. Please don't give French people any ideas.

Why limit yourself? — make a 24-hour version and you have 86,400 possible times!

This is the kind of thing that's completely useless and I absolutely love it. Bookmarked.

the combined mode sorting all 43,200 possible times alphabetically is the real commitment.eight comes before eleven so 8am hits before 11am alphabetically the day is completely scrambled genuinely useless and genuinely delightful.
I love new clock designs, here is my try https://triclock.franzai.com/
