36-HOUR-WATCH

WATCH, CLOCK, ALTERNATIVE

What it does

Why do we still use a Babylonian time system from 4,000 years ago? The 36-Hour Earth Clock is an experimental timekeeping project that replaces the traditional 24-hour day with a 360-degree system. By dividing the day into 36 "Hours" (each representing 10 degrees of Earth's rotation), time becomes a direct reflection of our planet's physical movement. 🌍 How it works: The Map: A rotating North Pole view. The Logic: 1 Day = 360 Degrees. Each degree is then split into 360 "decimal" seconds.

    Pole Clock, a single 24h clock with multiple timezones2022 · poleclock.com · ▲440

    Hi HN! I designed this Pole Clock to be a helpful tool for people like myself who often struggle with managing their sense of time. I found that analog clocks are generally easier to read and understand than digital ones, however I find the fact that every day is broken into two 12-hour rotations unintuitive. A single 24-hour rotation makes it easier to grasp where in the day you are, the bottom half representing night and the top half representing day. Additionally, because the clock displays 24 hours, you can add extra hour hands on the clock for other time zones. This is especially useful…

  • Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands. So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week. Here are three things you can do on it that you can’t do anywhere else: - Buy exactly the weeks you need. Three nodes for the last…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
