I've made similar apologies upthread but I'm passionate about this being an inclusive conversation and so I'm trying to respond to everyone who I confused with all the jargon.
The trouble with the jargon is that it obfuscates to a high degree even by the standards of the software space, and in a field where the impact on people's daily lives is at the high end of the range, even by the standards of the software space.
HN routinely front-pages stuff where the math and CS involved is much less accessible, but for understandable reasons a somewhat tone-deaf comment like mine is disproportionately disruptive: people know this stuff matters to them either now or soon, and it's moving as quickly as anything does, and it's graduate-level material.
If you have concrete questions about what probably looks like word salad I'll do my best to clarify (without the aid of an LLM).
