ConversionWise added a clickable announcement bar highlighting a unique selling proposition (USP) and linked it to high-margin product bundles. The site’s heatmap data showed that users had previously been trying to click the static announcement bar, while surveys indicated that the product guarantee was the most compelling USP. ConversionWise combined the two findings to increase conversion and ultimately increased revenue per session by 26%.

91% of consumers are interested in signing up to receive text messages from brands and 90% of messages are read within the first 3 minutes. SMS short codes are one of the main tools in sending SMS marketing campaigns. This guide covers the benefits of short codes, best practices, tips, and alternatives.
Running growth experiments only for quick KPI wins leads to short-term progress, while rigorous experiments ultimately yield repeatable wins. Fast-growing companies aim for a failure rate of 50%+ in their tests. Growth teams should build intentional rituals and processes that reinforce a culture of learning.
AI can boost brand equity when used appropriately by enhancing authentic customer interactions. However, overuse or misuse of AI-generated content can lead to a loss of personal touch, privacy concerns, misalignment with brand identity, and a lack of human interaction.
Viselect is a lightweight library for selecting DOM elements visually, just like on your desktop. It has zero dependencies and is only a 4KB package. Viselect supports major frameworks like React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte.
There’s a unique programming technique to optimize code by introducing conditional branches based on runtime values. This author provides multiple examples of the technique in practice, showing how it can improve code performance. This technique works because compilers are able to perform better optimizations based on expected runtime values, which isn’t possible with traditional constant-based optimizations.
Stripe’s docs are as usable as they are beautiful, and even more impressively, they’re highly comprehensive. Stripe’s documentation has had a positive impact on the company’s user experience, retention, and overall success. Many companies aspire to do the same but fail somewhere along the way. This article shows how Stripe created the culture and habits that enabled its team of engineers to write beautiful docs.
A Disney Research team recently presented a brand new robotic character during a keynote address. The robot packs an enormous amount of expression into its child-size body, emoting in a way that makes it seem uniquely alive. It uses a system that leverages reinforcement learning to convert an animator's vision into expressive motions. This article discusses how it was developed and the technology behind it - a video of the robot is available.
The Intermediate Graphics Library is a cross-platform library that commands the GPU. It provides a single low-level interface on top of various graphics APIs like OpenGL, Metal, and Vulkan. The library has been tested for broad device reliability, especially on Android devices as well as the Quest 2/3/Pro. Screenshots are available.

The US warns the EU that its proposed AI regulations could favor well-resourced companies and hurt smaller ones. Washington's analysis criticizes the EU's focus on AI model development rather than the risk of model use, suggesting it could deter investment and AI R&D in the EU. The debate continues, aiming for alignment and shared AI objectives.
Researchers have introduced FAVOR, a new approach that allows large language models to understand videos by finely blending audio and visual details at the frame level.
Researchers investigate the impact of data augmentation techniques on improving the math reasoning capabilities of large language models. They create a new dataset, AugGSM8K, by enhancing queries from an existing dataset and developing a model named MuggleMath.
Researchers have been able to transfer human motion onto robots by using a deep learning encoder. This is usually done with specialized hardware that has to be calibrated to the robot. Combining this with video-based motion capture could be a cool future project!
