That article is very poorly written. It hurt to read. Also, the site hijacks my browser history to force spam advertising sites on to me when I try to return to this post.
OP here, I agree the site is questionable, sorry about that. At the time of posting, this was the only site I could find reporting on this issue (and one hour later, still is).
zitterbewegung gives another source at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12892733 . (If a questionable site is the only source you can offer, then surely at least a warning is in order?)
This is the youtube video which the article is referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYVjIjBMx6o
