  2. A Segmentation Approach to Push Ahead Innovation Processes

    In product innovation, a company needs information about consumers, existing products and the competition to build-on when developing its ideas, concepts and designs for candidate products. It is usually a multi-stage process that involves planning, research (i.e., market, consumer & product), development and testing wherein information from different sources is likely to flow-in all the time. A particular issue of importance is identifying promising target segments and understanding how […]

  3. On the Emergence of Neuroforecasting

    Knowledge in the neurosciences, theory and methodology, is increasingly applied to improve and deepen our understanding of consumer decision processes, affect and cognition, and behaviours, in a young field known as consumer neuroscience; practical implementation of this knowledge on consumers in marketing management is known as neuromarketing. Relevant specialisitations in the neurosciences include neuropsychology, neuroeconomics, and neurobiology. The research has largely focused on […]

  4. 🚀 Wow, #groundbreaking revelation: someone prefers #Claude over Figma! 🤯 Could it be that designing with Claude is like eating cereal with a fork—an #amusingly #inefficient choice? 🥣🔧 Or is it just that #Figma is too mainstream, and only true hipsters #design with Claude now? 😎

  5. A quotation from Baltasar Gracián

    As many tastes as heads, and as different.
     
    [Tantos son los gustos como los rostros, y tan varios.]

    Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
    The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 101 (1647) [tr. Duff (1877)]

  6. The pineapple pizza debate isn't about food—it's manufactured tribal warfare that lets you perform strong opinions about something completely meaningless while avoiding actual substance.

  7. 🥰 Ever the romantic, I look under the covers at the calculus of matchmaking.

    It should be no surprise to most that dating is not an economic endeavour (with some obvious exceptions). In this blog post and associated podcast, I articulate why.

  8. #Labor was correct to criticise the #Libs for preferencing #OneNation in the #SA #Election, but if it doesn't run a candidate in the #FarrerByElection it will be seen as giving up. #Preferences really count in shifting the agenda. Be principled like the #Greens

    South Australia’s Liberal opposition will preference One Nation over Labor at the upcoming state election.  It comes as…

  10. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger, and never with that near kinsman of indifference, contentment.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

  11. What are your preferred #LLM or #GPT #Preferences or #SystemPrompts? Here's mine. If you need the text, it's in the #AltText of the image. Which are you using, and for what tasks? Does one work better for some tasks than others? I'm using #Claude mostly, but my work pays for #Gemini deluxe.

  12. This is odd. Due to my timeline being an absolute firehose, I changed my settings to only show English-language posts, then did a full page refresh "just in case" to get the setting to stick.

    Today I've seen at least one post in my timeline which was (a) not boosted by anyone, much less by someone I follow, (b) not posted by someone I follow, and (c) Mastodon recognized that it was not in English, because it offered me the translate option/link.

    Mastodon bug?

  13. 🤖🤦‍♂️ #Kroger finally realized that turning #grocery stores into sci-fi sets wasn't exactly a recipe for success. Turns out, customers prefer not to play Frogger with misguided #robots while #shopping for lettuce. 🍃🤖

  14. I keep getting pissed at folks who are still putting content on #Substack, other folks who promote that content, and then myself for going, 'hey, this sounds interesting' and then clicking on those links before realizing it until it's too late. Well, duh. I just remembered we have this cool feature here called #Filters. Problem solved! 😀

  15. I found, in preferences in the Mastodon web UI, an option:

    > Enable quick boosting
    >
    > When enabled, clicking on the Boost icon will immediately boost instead
    > of opening the boost/quote dropdown menu. Relocates the quoting action
    > to the (Options) menu.

    So (if it works, haven't tried yet) it fixes the double-the-number-of-steps-to-boost problem. But why put the quote-post function on the *options* menu? Double you tee eff.

    Surely it should be with "reply"?

  16. This is so funny. Everything this person represents is why I'm actively choosing to avoid hotels, especially the fancy ones. None of his likings is something I would personally chose. Different worlds.

    Obviously he's the expert and that's why we have the hotels we have.

  17. The latest #LargeScale experiment of #testosterone manipulation fail to replicate previous findings [typically in smaller-scale studies] on #economic #preferences in men, calling into question the idea that short-term testosterone fluctuations are important drivers of men’s economic preferences.

  18. Understanding how PreferenceManager in Android is a damn mess. There's so many ways to get one and values do not seem to be persisted properly, depending on the context, activity or phase of the moon.

    I wish there was something as simple as UserDefaults in iOS for storing simple settings values. Most things in Android are just over designed and way more complex than 95% of users need them to be.
