I wish these articles that don't really try to contribute wouldn't be upvoted :(
Maybe the flagging system is too slow, or we need downvoting, there should be a better way to make sure that HN front page articles are informational.

True, you didn't explain how the new algorithm achieves its shockingly impressive result, but that's probably not something that anyone could provide in a 500-word article that's easy to approach for non-experts. Though these guys were able to teach a computer to fold proteins more accurately than anyone expected it could be done, maybe they could extend their model to have it also write the paper for them...
Or what's more interesting is to have an article about the current top use cases and companies that need protein folding, and how much money they can save on finding better drugs...now that would be really interesting to me... that would be the appropriate content for the title that you gave.
I tend to distrust "X solves Y" headlines from regular news lack nuance and understanding so often that it's better to think of them as wrong.
