  > Scroll scroll scroll and... The new result (with explicit link to the arXiv as well as the author's home page) is linked in the fourth paragraph, and it only appears that far down because the first three paragraphs very efficiently provide background on the problem and recent results. The whole thing is an excellent general-audiences article explaining a complex theoretical result with illustrations and accessible links to all the relevant source material. I'm really glad we have Quanta and I'm not sure how this reporting could have been handled better.

    Exactly. EDIT: I was going to write a snark-ish comment that someone would eventually complain about the post title only to refresh a second later and see that someone changed the title already. “Major algorithmic goal” was completely fine and says quite a few different things than “new, faster”. Also, according to HN’s guidelines, the post title shouldn’t have changed in this situation: “Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.” The original title was not misleading or linkbait.
