It would be cool if it could ask before loading the model, or at least indicate to me how large the download will be, as I'm on a metered connection right now.

But maybe that's just a me-problem.
- zamadatix 2y agoLooks like ~4 MB, I think that's a fair size to not throw up warnings about (unless I'm missing something in the Network view of dev tools w/o cache). That said I wonder what people consider the "Click to enlarge (may take a while to load)" courtesy size to be in 2024.
- lynguist 2y agoI would probably consider 50 MB that size, or in the special case of metered connections 20 MB (for example downloading maps or so).
- jfoster 2y ago50 MB might be fine for desktops on effectively unlimited & high speed connections, but consider the case of a mobile user with a few GB of data per month. Might be unacceptable for them. Not sure how common that case is in the US, but certainly possible outside the US.
- sva_ 2y ago> Looks like ~4 MB You got me! The model was 176 MB. Total pageload transferred 182 MB. https://imgur.com/a/6xx3Lgu https://imgur.com/a/6xx3Lgu It doesn't seem like "Disable cache" in the DevTools empties the Cache Storage.
- Loughla 2y agoAfter living with satellite Internet as the only option for about 15 years, now that I have fiber, I still catch myself declining downloads that are too big and opening the scheduler. Old habits die hard. And the modern Internet implicitly assumes the end user is not on a metered connection. Websites are fucking massive these days.
