It's an article about a tangible step forward in solving DL problems.

Will RSA be broken because of this? Of course nobody knows.

But are the recent breakthroughs interesting "hacker news"? Absolutely. Would you have really preferred not to hear about this?

Edit: As per tptacek's comment, changed "breaking RSA" to "solving DL problems"

I wouldn't go so far as to say a tangible step has been made in literally breaking RSA.
