i'm amazed by the text in that post. in general i appreciate people admitting when they don't understand something, but the tone there goes beyond relaxed to, well, a celebration of ignorance (greek letters! oh noes!). is it a joke?

It's also confusing to note they don't mention whether they even contacted the authors of the paper to see if an implementation (even partial) had been made, or clarification could be provided on implementation details.
