    jart's output is nuts considering how usable it all is. llama.cpp is so easy to just pick up and get running. I've run a lot of Cosmopolitan code because it's used every once in a while as a no-brainer distributable executable format. Making programs that have immediately obvious use and are built not to die is a talent that it sometimes feels we don't value as much as making the shiny new thing.

    Often I think of jart as the successor to Fabrice Bellard in terms of making good stuff that makes solving hard problems look easy, but I would imagine that would be a terribly heavy crown for her head, especially since I imagine she is continually looking around for another gaping issue everyone is seeing past.

    Remember that she renamed the GGML format to "GGJT" after her own name, and lied about mmap memory reduction after stealing the code from another user.

    i.e. she said mmap reduced it 90% but it's how Linux displays it, actually similar memory is needed.

    Then she was banned from llama.cpp and had to make her own fork/imitation.
