The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Jensen Huang recommends it
I The The book that that made a huge impact on me was uh computer architecture from Hennessy and Patterson, a quantitative approach. Uh it was the first computer architecture book that that reduced the complexity, the abstract idea of computer architecture uh down to engineering. And I I love it when when people take complicated concepts and reduce it into something that you could do something about.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
