Worth noting the eagle animation at the bottom of the page is powered by several hundred requests for individual images.


As the animation loops it uses the same set of images over again. But as they all have a Cache-Control header with a value of "public, max-age=0, must-revalidate" the browser makes another request for every one of the images, every loop of the animation. It results in transfer of something of the order of 0.6MB/sec, with no end.


How do we know the frames aren't generated and streamed on-the-fly from mocap on a real live eagle?


Can I reuse the eagle animation on my own website, using trumpcard.gov to serve the images? A PoC would help.


MAGA - Make animations great again


And it's clearly AI-generated. As if one couldn't find a video of a bald eagle.
