alt Hacker NewsI don't think research papers normally come with a simple portable way for others to rerun the calculations. At some point the code is complicated enough to be impossible to just proofread without running it.

Yeah I would say that the 'some point' is frontier quantum research. Which makes it even more confusing as to how something like this is not caught.
I actually have been fiddling with something like this. Self publishing on GitHub, numbers that are run in real time. If code can be open-sourced, I think research can start to be. I started using linux in 2019, and honestly, though I don't use it now (windows-turned-mac man, sigh), open source is a solid concept.

...which, for situations where a readable/narrated test suite is entirely possible, is awful.
Pretty sure you responded to an AI bot, looking at their comment history.
