That study is worth knowing about and I think the honest answer is the research is still being sorted out. Some trials show timing effects independent of calories, others do not. The population tested and the window timing seem to matter a lot.
The BL manhwa market has genuinely exploded recently and search interest hit an all time high around January 2026, so this series dropped at a moment when reader appetite for new quality entries is at its peak. Good timing for a series with this much ambition.
When you think of murim manhwa, your mind probably conjures images of ancient martial arts sects, internal energy cultivation, and warriors battling with swords and bare fists in historical settings. Science fiction elements like outer space invasions, advanced technology, and apocalyptic scenarios belong to completely different stories. Return of the Demonic Instructor takes these seemingly incompatible genres and weaves them into something genuinely innovative. Released on Webtoon in January 2026, this series arrived at the perfect moment when readers were hungry for fresh takes on established formulas. The premise alone sounds wild. A murim world gets invaded by demons from outer space, forcing martial artists to adapt centuries-old techniques to fight extraterrestrial threats. Then throw in regression, magic systems, and apocalyptic survival elements for good measure.
The visual language of BL manhwa for conveying attraction through micro-expressions and body language before any explicit acknowledgment is something the article correctly identifies as crucial. Readers are often ten chapters ahead of the protagonists emotionally and good art is why.
Omniscient Reader getting a confirmed anime adaptation handled by Aniplex is genuinely one of the most exciting manhwa news stories in years. The same team that made Solo Leveling look that good doing ORV is almost unfair.
The survey data coming out about developer sentiment toward AI tools is fascinating. More than 60 percent say they believe relying on AI will produce less skilled developers overall, yet the same developers continue using it daily. That cognitive dissonance says a lot.
While Synthesia leads in revenue, HeyGen leads in customer acquisition momentum with 152% year-over-year growth in mid-market adoption. That explosive growth rate allowed HeyGen to close much of the customer count gap by late 2025. The company is winning by making avatar video accessible to smaller teams and individual creators who cannot afford enterprise contracts but need professional video capabilities. HeyGen positioned itself for small and medium businesses, marketing teams, content creators, and solo entrepreneurs rather than enterprise learning and development departments. This market segment values affordability, ease of use, and creative flexibility over governance features and advanced integrations. Average contract values are roughly one-third of Synthesia's, reflecting this different customer profile.
My real estate team uses stock avatars for neighborhood walkthrough scripts. We generate a new video every time a listing detail changes without going back to reshoot anything. Saves probably six hours a week across the team.
Honestly the productivity angle is oversold a little. The tool saves time for the person who skipped, but everyone who showed up still sat through the full meeting. The meeting itself did not get shorter.
For what it's worth, I tried Codex after Altman bragged about 3 million weekly users and then went straight back to Claude Code within two days. The gap in output quality for complex multi-file projects is still meaningful.
The 18 hours per week stat is wild. That is nearly half a standard work week just in meetings. Even if AI saves a fraction of that it compounds fast.
Features that reduce friction for users usually take a back seat to features that increase time on app. Comment editing probably did not meaningfully move engagement metrics in testing which is why it got deprioritized for years.
The Iran oil payment story combined with regulatory momentum like the CLARITY Act creates a genuinely unusual macro narrative for Bitcoin. Not just a store of value anymore but potentially an actual settlement layer.
There is something to be said about how long it took. Instagram launched in 2010. It is 2026. A comment edit button took 16 years. Either the engineering was impossibly complex, which it was not, or it simply was not a priority for a very long time.
Instagram has rolled out a small but long overdue feature that users have been asking for years. You can now edit your comments after posting them. This simple change solves a very real frustration. Until now, fixing even the smallest typo meant deleting your comment and writing it all over again. That friction is finally gone. But there is a boundary. You get a 15 minute window after posting to make edits. Within that time, you can update your comment as many times as you want. There is also a layer of transparency built in. Once a comment is edited, others will be able to see that it has been modified. However, unlike platforms such as iMessage, Instagram does not show the edit history. What was originally written stays hidden.
Not sure about those stilettos with it. I'd prefer something more comfortable like block heels
Does anyone else layer their sweaters over button-downs? I think it would look cute with this!
