Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025) on Monday December 15, 2025 @06:41AM (#46273194)
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.

Ask HN: What problems did you face while using freelance marketplaces?

I want to learn about your bad experiences as a freelancer or hirer with online freelance marketplace platforms. How do you think online freelance marketplaces can be improved? Any idea that simple to implement but haven't done yet? What I see is generally Terms of Service is too much restrictive. Other issue is Dispute Management, what can be done for a better process.

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.
Thank you for the feedback!
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
It seems that Amazon do not like a site which provide better search experience.

Ask HN: How to monetize my site after Amazon cancellation of affiliate account?

I built jeviz.com which is a Amazon Advanced Search Web Tool in 2016 and few months later Amazon canceled my affiliate account and I have closed the site because Amazon was only way that I was using to monetize my site. 2 weeks ago I have reopened the site with a new domain junglesearch.net and today I have commented on hackernews about fake Amazon reviews and recommended a way to find most...

Bad news Amazon closed related associate account again.
Thank you for the feedback! I will gradually add other countries first two are UK and CA. What is your country?
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.
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...

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."

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.
