Also thanks for pointing this out, I haven't read that thread that closely, only remembered it being on the hn front page recently. FTR it seems that Jonas Strehle, author of this Github repo, is not affliated with the authors.

Thanks for clarifying - I have also noticed the very doubtful action of the authors! But I can furthermore assure that I have nothing to do with the authors of the paper. ~ jonas
