Ask HN: Has anyone gotten complete, permanent relief from tinnitus?
Ask HN: Has anyone gotten complete, permanent relief from tinnitus?
337 by actinium226 | 359 comments on Hacker News.
As far as I can tell, there's no universally accepted "cure" for tinnitus, but there are a number of "therapies" out there, some of which seem to prey upon people looking for relief but some of which seem plausible. I'm wondering if any subscribers here have had tinnitus and experience permanent relief from the ringing? Not just reduction, but actual permanent relief that never comes back even when doing things that previously worsened the tinnitus. If you can't tell, I'm trying to establish an "existence proof" here, if no one has ever gotten permanent relief then it seems like it might not be worth bothering with the "symptom reduction" therapies since they would most likely lead to focusing on the symptoms more intensely.

I'm a Unity 3D refugee, certified expert, started in 2005 when it was a two man-band with Joachim and David. I've been lucky enough to make a good living out of Unity with my own consultancy over the years making data visualisation applications (Wind Energy) and innovation projects (Visualising accounting data for Wolters Kluwer etc.). Godot is pretty amazing in my opinion. Wrote this game over a few days and was productive in Godot basically instantly. I couldn't get up and running in Unreal despite trying a few times. It's my ambition to start a niche agency developing 80's style games of skill and chance for the corporate world. So... If anyone has any leads for making Space Invaders for Nike - please help! Happy to pay 5% on whatever work I get.

Exploiting the iPhone 4
Exploiting the iPhone 4

Hi HN, author here! For the past three months, I've been obsessively working on gala, a jailbreak for iOS 4 that currently targets the iPhone 4. While other jailbreaks for this device, and this iOS version, already exist, the 'special sauce' of this jailbreak is that it comes with a 6-part series describing the building of a jailbreak and the many challenges that arose when jailbreaking iOS. The series includes interactive visualizations at every step of exploiting the device - from pulling memory dumps of the boot ROM to debugging a flashed filesystem image. That said, this isn't just a bare-bones jailbreak with some writing attached: gala is a fully-fledged suite that includes a significant Python application, a Cocoa GUI for end-users, a Rust payload, Cocoa Touch games to play within the boot environment while the jailbreak completes, and C utilities that run on-device. This was a lot of fun, and the journey included lots of milestones: when an iOS device boots, it does so in discrete stages (boot ROM, then boot loader, then kernel, etc.). This meant that my experience of developing this jailbreak also included these milestones, as over time I successfully compromised and ran each of these stages! Building this was personally exciting because I used to regularly make and sell tweaks for jailbroken phones on Cydia. The jailbreaks themselves always seemed like inscrutable black magic, until now! I'm really gratified to have finished up this project, and am excited to put it out into the world. Please feel welcome to have a look at the code, the writeup, or give it a spin on an old iPhone 4 that you have lying around. I hope you enjoy!

I made this game to teach my daughter how buffer overflows work. I want her to look at programs as things she can change, and make them do whatever she wants. Building your exploit in memory and jumping to it feels so cool. I hope this game teaches kids and programmers (who seem to have forgotten what computers actually are) that its quite fun to mess with programs. We used to have that excitement few years ago, just break into softice and change a branch into a nop and ignore the serial number check, or go to a different game level because this one is too annoying. While working on the game I kept thinking what we have lost from 6502 to Apple Silicon, and the transition from 'personal computers' to 'you are completely not responsible for most the code running on your device', it made me a bit sad and happy in the same time, RISCV seems like a breath of fresh air, and many hackers will build many new things, new protocols, new networks, new programs. As PI4 cost increases, the esp32 cost is decreasing, we have transparent displays for 20$, good computers for 5$, cheap lora, and etc. Everything is more accessible than ever. I played with a friend who saw completely different exploits than me, and I learned a lot just from few games, and because of the complexity of the game its often you enter into a position that you get surprised by your own actions :) So if you manage to find at least one friend who is not completely stunned by the assembler, I think you will have some good time. A huge inspiration comes from phrack 49's 'Smashing The Stack For Fun And Profit' which has demystified the stack for me: https://ift.tt/UNJ29rh TLDR: computers are fun, and you can make them do things. PS: In order to play with my friends I also built esp32 helper[1] that keeps track of the game state, and when I built it and wrote the code and everything I realized I could've just media queried the web version of the game.. but anyway, its way cooler to have a board game contraption.
