Ask HN: What does Quantum supremacy mean for the current state of encryption?

Google recently claimed they achieved Quantum supremacy and ran computations in 200s what the world's fastest supercomputer would take 10,000 years (even though IBM challenged the claims).

I'm curious how well current encryption algorithms can fare against a quantum computer, given the governments has the means to build or get their hands on one.
