I don't understand this. What's the contention that's actually getting people upset here?

Having read through a bunch of outraged comments the issue seems to have been:

  * It changed the file format
  * For some people it was slower that the original version particularly on low end computers

One person was particularly outraged and reverted the whole change.

However, the current version does use a similar approach to that which was proposed: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/f963b63afa0e05...

Lol why oss people are so antisocial - I include myself in the subset

Just a wild guess – developers lack soft/managerial skills. (Overgeneralization.) In companies, this is accounted for because developers are shielded by managers. But in F/OSS you get to interact directly with the developers. As for the why devs lack soft skills – hold your hats – programming is basically commanding. Without "thank you", without "please" and with lot of swearing. No time for pleasant bullshit. (By this reasoning, devs using declarative/functional programming should be more polite than imperative programmers, right? :D)

It was 4chan. You can read my comment history on Hacker News if you want to learn more.
