I get that a hateful mob jumped all over this widely-publicized PR and that's really, really not ok, but it doesn't make you automatically in the right. Sometimes our egos get the better of us, mistakes are made. Subsequently the only choice you have is between being someone who escalates drama and someone who defuses it. I promise you that being the latter is the better choice, even if it doesn't come with the ego-boosting joy of being "right". The person who can rise above it all is the one who ends up winning respect in the long-run, but it requires acknowledging one's own fallibility in the short-term.

Not until I'm made whole. I donated a lot of resources to the llama.cpp project. I volunteered and successfully contributed one of its most impactful features. I was rewarded with harassment and being publicly humiliated by its leader, for no reason at all. They also reneged on promises they made me. I'm owed a lot more than apology, but I haven't even received that.

  You didn't write that feature. Slaren did. You closed his PR and made minor changes, then gradually shifted from "our feature" to "my feature." ---- That's not the original PR. jart was working on a malloc() approach that didn't work and slaren wrote all the code actually doing mmap, which jart then rebased in a random new PR, changed to support an unnecessary version change, magic numbers, a conversion tool, and WIN32 support when that was already working in the draft PR. https://archive.ph/Uva8c https://archive.ph/Uva8c This is the original PR: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/586 https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/586.
