A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Is it, though?
It's a clearly defined spec, a clearly defined utility function and a very limited set of building blocks. It's not trivial, but not super impressive either.
And given the nature of this kind of research and the trackrecord of Chinese scientists in particular, I'd assume it's getting less and less impressive the deeper you look.
