Abstract
The BESIII experiment at the Beijing Electron Positron collider, run as a ``hyperon factory'', recently reported the first measurement of the asymmetry parameter of the decay and updated its branching fraction, which differs from the PDG average by 5.6 sigma. We highlight the impact of this new measurement on our understanding of the puzzle of weak radiative hyperon decays and pinpoint what needs to be done in the future.
