    The decorative JS blob uses 100% of CPU.

    Why. Just... why

    To raise VC or crypto funding.

    I think it looks dope, and you might want to check why your browser isn't offloading to your GPU.

    Wait until you see how much of your CPU the model uses.

    I'm not sure about that

    user: hey hermes, why is your website scroll bar ungrabbable, I can't go up the page anymore? I'm stuck but want to read something higher up the page?

    My browser is offloading to my GPU (RTX 3090 Ti) and using 3GB VRAM and sitting at 35% utilization to render that monstrosity.

    I'm on a 3080 and it uses 1 gb vram and 22% util. Sure it's still not lightweight, but certainly not as bad as you seem to be experiencing.

    Perhaps it depends on other factors like screen resolution and scaling.

    probably. I’ve got a 4K monitor with a 1050 Ti and the moment I open the site, GPU usage jumps from 1% to 99% and the fans go wild.

    No idea. My modest Thinkpad T14 barely shows any CPU load, while displaying smooth animations and scrolling fast. (Firefox, Linux, x64.)

    because gen z thats why

    So why not replace it with a gif?

    It's dynamic as you scroll down, and scales with resolution. Gif would be a trade of bandwidth for computation.

    30 mins and not fully loaded on my iPad.

    Is this an example response from the model?

    1.5-3GB is used to render your desktop on windows depending on resolution, think mine hits 3-3.5GB at 5k before even doing anything.
