What Hacker News says

2 sources
Take a look at this: https://github.com/llSourcell/The-Neural-Qubit/commit/5f89be... Siraj copy-pasted the original code without attribution and removed the Apache license. He states, in the readme, "I built off of their variational circuit code by modifying the fock basis truncation, adding an extra photonic quantum layer, and increasing the intial gate parameter seed." That's comical. In the diff, you see he changed the "depth" variable from 7 to 8, the "fock basis truncation cutoff" from 10 to 9 and the "random initiation" sdev_photon variable from 0.1 to 0.2. I have no idea what any of that does, but it's absurd to say that these are substantial changes, especially without any justification as to why you made them.
In Siraj Raval found plagiarizing “neural qubit” paper
