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.

AI run on statistical probability. The more options there are in something, the harder it is to get right. A clock face becomes hard because practically the entire clock changes from moment to moment, and logos on shirts are similar in that they're largely all in the same place but vary dramatically in shape to be as distinct from each other as possible, which is basically the exact opposite of what an AI wants. When your whole thing is basically averaging stuff out on a probability curve that's weighted towards specific keywords, having massive variation in your data points is bad.

There's a fun tidbit that we humans only take pictures of clocks at 10:10 that genai can't make make a clock show any other time.

Agile Meridian / Post Manager

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)

I keep trying, but the clock only displays 4:29.

What do?

How will the system know when to poll the API if it doesn't know seconds?

the iPad kids are entering college.

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.

I've met some from asia and europe

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.

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.

but is it good that we think differently than prior generations thanks to the advent of the affordable digital clock in the 1970s? i think we lose something in that conversion that we might not be fully appraised of until the last analog clock is gone. a policy of elimination seems concerning to me because it presumes that a single perception is the superior perception rather than a different perception

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.
