ersinesen··on Epileptic seizures nearly vanish after people receive experimental gene therapy
The real breakthrough isn't just seizure reduction. It's demonstrating the feasibility of installing a new, externally controllable interface into human neural circuits.
ersinesen··on Verification Is Not Knowledge: Science needs more than answers
I would prefer relation or context instead of integration. Meaning is contextual. Understanding is the process of attaing the meaning or a meaning. Knowledge in this perspective is the final outcome that can be verified in some way or you assume so.
ersinesen··on A Measurement Study of Contextual Leakage in AI Chat Platforms
We find that 21 of these platforms leak conversation titles to third-party trackers, while nine leak verbatim user prompts. Beyond content, we observe a substantial amount of chatbot platforms sending user emails to third-party trackers, enabling the association of conversational context with a user's identity. Our findings cast traditional web privacy issues under a new light, highlighting the privacy issues that are inherent in how users interact with modern AI chatbots.

it is an attempt to lay the foundations. to me that foundation enables understanding complex concepts without adhoc narratives.

thanks.
ersinesen··on Show HN: A Jazz Translations Album with Suno
I use DistroKid's Mixea. But before that I adjust loudness of each song manually with Audacity and keep it in a range to be consistent as a whole.
ersinesen··on Show HN: A Jazz Translations Album with Suno
Every, track is based on an original vocal song (made also with Suno v5) in a different genre: Turkish folk and pop. Then, they are translated to jazz (also by Suno v5) by incorporating some local instruments and keeping loyalty to the original sentiment of the song.

After Suno, I use another AI for mastering.

ersinesen··on Universal basic income is not a road to communism
Every decade or so, capitalism’s critics rediscover the dream of a universal basic income (UBI), a stipend for all. The latest revival [1] goes further: what if this modest reform could turn capitalism into its opposite? In a recent academic proposal, unconditional basic income is imagined as a “capitalist road to communism.” If people no longer had to sell their labor to survive, the system itself, the authors suggest, would evolve peacefully beyond markets and profit.
ersinesen··on The Leader in Need or Animal in Charge
Why do some leaders rise in times of peace while others emerge only in times of crisis? The answer may lie not just in politics, but in biology and the deep animal instincts that still govern human perception.
ersinesen··on The Shifting Center of Capitalism: A Historical Map
From the bustling banks of Renaissance Florence to the neon-lit pulse of Wall Street, capitalism has never stayed still. Capitalism, like power, has always been in motion, flowing from one center to another in a historical quest for trust, security, and centrality.

But what defines the “center” of capitalism? Is it where goods are made, money is stored, or laws are respected? More importantly, why does the center change and what happens when it does?

ersinesen··on Show HN: Visualenv: store env variables in image
[author here] Indeed it may be so by looking outside as a black box.

But, let me emphasize that there is no data stored in the backend database. Just user credentials and steganogprahy key. This key is crucial to extract data.

Hidden data is stored only in the image. Without access to it, server cannot extract the hidden data.

ersinesen··on Show HN: Visualenv: store env variables in image
[author here] Visualenv is a use case of a backend steganograpy engine. The main job is done in the backend.

A: The usage may not be clear from the samples. Let me explain step-wise:

1. Client sends text data to the backend to hide it in an image

2. Server;

2.1 Randomly creates a host image 2.2 Hides data in the image making use of the client's steganogprahy key in that is available in its database 2.3 Returns the stego image filename to the user (a unique name)

3. Client downloads stego image to its local.

4. Client extracts hidden data in an image by either:

4.1. Uploading image 4.2. Sending filename (assuming user let it be saved in the server)

P.S. Another user in the server cannot extract the hidden data since he cant access owner's stego key.

B: Steganographic operations are performed in the backend. Client host just waits for the result.

ersinesen··on Show HN: Visualenv: store env variables in image
[author here] The lack of explanation naturally causes some misunderstanding, sorry for that.

Let me clarify the main points:

1. Data is stored in only the image, not backend server. Octomim is a proprietary solution that provides a REST API. One can use standalone applications like steghide, etc.

2. Using a backend server like Octomim is useful since it provides key management. The key used for steganography stored securely in the server and is not propagated to any where. Key of the steganography algorithm is crucial to prevent extraction without knowledge of it. This enables the user to extract hidden data from anywhere with the image and his authentication information only.

3. Storing env variables in an image can be considered as a complementary security measure for securely storing them. You can transfer them anywhere (store in github, etc.) but without access to backend server no one can read the hidden data. As a matter of fact, attackers even won't be aware of the existence of hidden data.

4. 'Visualenv' is just an application scenario of this scheme. It can be considered as a hacker tool or if you are willing to build a secure variable distribution system it can provide additional level of security by obscurity.

ersinesen··on A Physical Review of Epilepsy
HIGHLIGHTS

* The physical aspects of epilepsy are often overlooked.

* To gain a deeper comprehension of the underlying mechanism, understanding the involvement of the physical aspects is crucial.

* The relation between epilepsy and pressure, volume, and heat introduces a consistent framework.

* In conjunction with certain theoretical works, it is possible to establish a unifying and coherent framework for epilepsy

ersinesen··on Show HN: Undiscoverable Watermarking
Spread spectrum digital watermarks are generated randomly using a specified key. Therefore, by brute force search watermarks can be discovered. Our new application adds a second layer of security so that brute force discovery becomes practically improbable.
ersinesen··on Show HN: Make Your Photos Untraceable with Sensor Noise Cancellation
Every camera sensor has a unique fixed pattern noise, called Photo Response Non Uniformity (PRNU). Our new application Photoclean estimates PRNU and removes it from photos. This unique noise not only degrades the photo, but can also be used as a fingerprint to associate a photo with a camera. Once you remove it, you obtain a cleaner photo and eliminate the possibility of camera and photo association. Any feedback will be appreciated.
