the locus of thought for llama.cpp has always been on 4chan

TIL!

  I actually developed migraines for the first time in my life and ended up in the hospital... due to the eye strain of reading unfiltered thoughts about me for months.

A) is that how eye strain works? and B) if you've ever attracted the ire of 4chan degens, please don't read them. There's 0 benefit and a long, long list of downsides.

  and since llamafile is an ex nihilo project that I worked on for six years

Llamafile is from 3 years before Llama...? What did it do -- wrangle cleverbot instances?

   I even wrote a blog post giving Slaren more credit, because it instilled in him a false sense of confidence that led him to tackle harder problems, like multiplying three dimensional numbers.

That's some kindergarten level discourse, wtf.

  Hacker News is my favorite place on the web, because it's the last bastion of curiosity online. 

Well if that ain't the loudest dogwhistle I've ever heard, gd.

  This upset the moderator so much... because he had already banned me for spamming... So this became the day Lobsters also banned my domain, so that no one else could post my articles. 

...is this supposed to be a vindication?

  The first thing he did with his enormous wealth and power is share his animus towards trans people and I got fired for performance reasons around that time.

Having worked at google, I can say with confidence that you can't go from ok to fired in one review cycle (unless you, idk, set a building on fire or something?). Transphobia sucks obviously, but this is a very, very strange anecdote.

   A few days ago, I got served with a tax warrant from the State of New York... This is what it's been like living in California for the last ten years.

Ok I have to ask at this point: what is this post?? What's the point? Why do we care about this lady's tax disputes? Immediately following this up with a paragraph about how she's akin to Prometheus himself doesn't help one bit.

   I am the intersection of so many unliked groups whose minds I've come to understand. If you were to use bayesian inference to compute the probability that I'm a good person, it would underflow a double. In practice, this just means I'm a curious person who hasn't had much to fear, since I've never had much to lose. If the day should ever come when society chooses to accept me, then the negative attention I've received will be viewed for what it really was, and then people will be able to safely examine my lifelong track record of kindness and conspicuous public service.

Lol this is the first contemporary of mine that writes like Schopenhauer, I love it. The subtle colocation of transphobia and antifascism, tho? That I do not love.

  I want to start by using the money to buy myself a home in San Francisco, in a neighborhood where I can feel safe, so that I can have a bed, set up a real office, entertain guests, and take photographs. I want to travel around the world and experience the cosmopolitan lifestyle my project is named after, using only private aviation, so that I won't be molested or risk being detained each time I fly. I want to hire an elite team that can help me accomplish my social and technical goals, such as adding native support for my file format to every operating system.

Wow, this could be taught in university as the exemplar of the least convincing appeal for donations of all time.

P.S. describing your open source work as "my" isn't great.

   Your support will upset everyone who feels that I don't deserve the gift of life.

Framing personal donations to a Trump supporter as a way to combat transphobia is so nasty and dishonest that it's hard to really come up with the words. I guess add +1 to the tally of "haters"!
