AI has real risks & we should have smart & evolving policy to manage them. By focusing the public's mind on very low probability/"high" consequence extinction events from super-intelligent AI, it slides acceptable windows of what bad things humans can do with AI right now (eg discrimination/disinfo)

Why don’t all social media apps have a built in “translate this text in my preferred language” option?

Anybody has good data or sources about what it actually takes for LLMs to show your website in the answers?

In web analytics, my purchase of the Kobo ebook will show up as “direct”.

But did the website convince me? Or did the variation of one of the A/B experiments convince me?

No.

Bluesky did through the feed I have. Especially @mtamblyn.bsky.social

Just like hello world tutorials for programming, the change a color on a button tutorials for CRO leave many on a stray path

Read an email from Oracle cloud where they basically said they transition from docker to podman on their Resource Manager.

Interesting to say the least since I had hiccups with podman support in Azure

Time-off, vacation, PTO etc various names that mean, mostly, the same.

In Romanian, the word is "concediu".

The problem is that the same word is also used when a person gives birth to a child and then takes care of that child.

Why is it a concern? Because it is extremely misleading!

Most of your experiments will fail. That’s what you could tell intuitively.

Well, if you are working in CRO and/or doing any sort of A/B testing properly, you will know that only around 10% of your experiments are actually significant and provide an uplift worthy of declaring them winning.

A broken software update that cost 30 to 40 million dollars. This is the story of Sonos.

I read a couple of news and interviews on the topic, but something stood out:

“The company had released updates to the app every two weeks since the redesign launched on May 7th.”

Two weeks, huh?

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face. This famous quote from Mike Tyson feels like it can be applied to both myself and for many Americans.

Yesterday, I planned to write a post on LinkedIn. But I got punched in the face by the flu and couldn't do much.
March 6, 2025 at 8:16 AM
With all the crazyness around the world, I had no mood to write any kind of content.

But that’s my problem. Shouldn’t be. Will fix it an return to posting.

Writing is good for you. For anybody.

Seems that a guy called Musk with ties to US presidency really insists on being in the wrong side of history.

I’m curious when we will learn about the US system handling SSNs that they’ve switched from COBOL to nodejs running on some servers borrowed from X.

Working with a startup and considering to go with the route of build in public.
Even if it’s a commercial product.

Not sure if it’s a good idea or not

Hey CRO people. I have a question regarding measuring long term effects of A/B experiments.

Could use some insights on this
