I have the opposite problem here. The CS articles seem fine, but I don't know who would be interested in Quanta's articles but only capable of understanding things at their writing level. It doesn't seem like they should have an audience.

Their audience is me, a curious not-very-technical layman who is interested in the concepts but bored by the details!

Granted, I'm not sure how common this is.

I do worry about Gell-Mann amnesia with Quanta, but I comfort myself that usually nobody has a stake in distorting this or that number theory thingamajig or physics quandary. However... I'm sure there are academic infights and research tug-of-war to which I'm blissfully blind.
