ceyhunkazel··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025)
Enterprise software for SAP migrations. Thousands of companies need to move from ECC to S/4HANA before 2027, and master data quality is the #1 blocker. Built a Windows extraction tool + web app that cleans and transforms data automatically. What used to take consultants months of manual Excel work now happens in days.
ceyhunkazel··on Comparing neural network training performance between Elixir and Python
from the paper: "This work aims to compare the results of Python and Elixir on training convolutional neural networks (CNN) using MNIST and CIFAR10 datasets, concluding that Python achieved overall better results, and that Elixir is already a viable alternative."

I heard that issue recently, merchants exploits this variant issue and Amazon does not provide a way differentiate variant comments.
ceyhunkazel··on Ask HN: How to monetize my site after Amazon cancellation of affiliate account?
Thank you for the feedback!
ceyhunkazel··on Fake review factories that run on Facebook and post five-star Amazon reviews
By the way Amazon canceled the affiliate account again after commenting in this thread so probably it will be closed again. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18277073
ceyhunkazel··on Ask HN: How to monetize my site after Amazon cancellation of affiliate account?
It seems that Amazon do not like a site which provide better search experience.

Thank you for the feedback! I will gradually add other countries first two are UK and CA. What is your country?
ceyhunkazel··on Fake review factories that run on Facebook and post five-star Amazon reviews
Site is recently reopened (2 weeks) with new domain https://www.junglesearch.net and I get feedbacks to add other countries and I really like to add them. It requires some API work to get new country's categories and checking which options are working on which department so it required some work. CA, UK are on my top list to add.

Thank you for the comment. It is really free , I do not sell user search data I do not even record them, I only use Yandex Metrica to see how users use the site to improve site usability. One main problem is user try to chose "Most reviews" sort option without choosing any Amazon Department (When All Departments is active most of sort options will not work so I do not show them) and I even placed a site tour to make users notice it and it worked for some some users but not all of them but it is an improvement. Actually money comes from Amazon Associates Program that's the only way to monetize the site.
ceyhunkazel··on Fake review factories that run on Facebook and post five-star Amazon reviews
One way to overcome this sort by "Most reviews" which normally Amazon hides (I think they do it to give chance to sell new brands/products more). You have more chance to find the product you want and more trustful if it had 10K reviews instead of 10 reviews. I wrote about how to do it. Full disclosure, I am the author of free web app tool on the article. https://medium.com/@ceyhunkazel/amazon-search-hack-eliminate...
ceyhunkazel··on Algorithmic merchandising will erode trust in Amazon
Amazon has some search issues so I made a web tool for this it is a Advanced Amazon Search Tool and wrote an article how to find good products https://medium.com/@ceyhunkazel/amazon-search-hack-eliminate... and here hackernews discussion about it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12382228

Fuzzy logic reminds me Albert Einstein quote about mathematics. "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."

ceyhunkazel··on Lotfi Zadeh has died
Same interview:

Interviewer:Would you say that Fuzzy Logic turns Aristotelian or Classical Logic on its head?

Lotfi:(Laughs). Back in Aristotle's day, people tried to be as precise as possible. That's the Aristotelian tradition, the Cartesian tradition. Looking at things as being entirely black or white stems from such a tradition. But take the example of good and bad. What we're beginning to understand now is that sometimes things that we perceive as bad really turn out to be good, or perhaps, not as bad as we originally thought. Things can serve a purpose. People back in Aristotle's time and even later thought that by perceiving things in black and white (in absolute terms) that they gained alot. And they did. But they lost a great deal in the process. Fuzzy Logic represents a swing in the opposite direction but I would like to stress that there is much more to Fuzzy Logic than multi-valuedness of truth.

Classical logic has erred in devoting so little attention to approximate reasoning and focusing to such a high degree on exact reasoning. So when you take a course in logic, you learn all kinds of things which are of very little use in everyday life. We encounter approximate reasoning all the time. For example, "Where can I park my car?" Where should I have lunch? Should I place this call "person-to person" or "station to station"? Should I buy this house? How do I get from this side of town to the other when I'm in a hurry? Classical logic, operation research, decision analysis-many other disciplines have nothing to say about this topic.

RIP Lotfi Aliasker Zadeh.Form an interview "Obstinacy and tenacity. Not being afraid to get embroiled in controversy. That's very much a Turkish tradition. That's part of my character, too. I can be very stubborn. That's probably been beneficial for the development of Fuzzy Logic."
ceyhunkazel··on Ask HN: Do you have a side project that you would like to sell?
Thanks for the feedback. Sadly Amazon strongly stated they will not pay it back as I wrote it about here https://hackernoon.com/dont-put-all-your-eggs-in-one-basket-...
ceyhunkazel··on Ask HN: Do you have a side project that you would like to sell?
I suspect that main reason is related with payment method. I am non-us associate. I have started with gift card payment it well good then I have changed to cheque payment method. I have waited long but no payment I have received. I have called amazon they said me there is problem and they will send it again. I have waited long when I contact them they said me it is already on the way then few weeks later they terminated my account and these cheques never come to me although they said they are on the way. I have wrote a story about the process without mention of payment issue https://hackernoon.com/dont-put-all-your-eggs-in-one-basket-...
ceyhunkazel··on Ask HN: Do you have a side project that you would like to sell?
http://www.jeviz.com which I used to make around $500/month from amazon affiliation with very few (around 30) daily users. Amazon has terminated my affiliation. I think it has more potentials and you can migrate to another domain with your associates tag and promote it. Its a readable Django web app.
ceyhunkazel··on Computational Linear Algebra
Top-down approach is the best approach to teach and learn well done!
ceyhunkazel··on I make $10k per month with the Amazon Affiliate Program
Similar story for me they ruined my side project. I wrote detailed story about it, but in short do not built a business solely on a single affiliate. https://hackernoon.com/dont-put-all-your-eggs-in-one-basket-...
ceyhunkazel··on Django vs. Flask
Scalability problem is the nicest thing that can happen to you which means you are successful. Short time to market and low budget are the common cases for startups. If you have money and time then you can more worry about scalability issues and all generalizations are false, including this one.

ceyhunkazel··on Caffe2: Open Source Cross-Platform Machine Learning Tools
Great work! Hope you will support Python 3. "Required Dependencies# Anaconda. Python 2.7 version is needed for Caffe2, and Anaconda is recommended."
ceyhunkazel··on Don’t put all your eggs in one basket: Amazon terminated jeviz.com account
Thanks for the all good words! I was planning a chatbot that easier to use then jeviz.com now this happened I canceled the project because Amazon seems too risky now.
ceyhunkazel··on Don’t put all your eggs in one basket: Amazon terminated jeviz.com account
By the way I haven't any special links I have a search form to post like Native Search Ads. Amazon staff even can not differentiate between a link and a form which is absurd.
ceyhunkazel··on Cayley – An open-source graph database
Good work! An alternative is Dgraph https://dgraph.io/ which I am considering for my next project.
ceyhunkazel··on Don’t put all your eggs in one basket: Amazon terminated jeviz.com account
Thanks for the huge answer. Good hints to follow but there is no logic with their statements. Amazon encourages with their own tools to general search you need to carefully examine associates tools. Amazon conflicts itself as I explained in the story with update part:
