ascii_butugychag: 'Quoting directly from its manpage, the keyrings facility is primarily a way for drivers to retain or cache security data, authentication keys, encryption keys and other data in the kernel.' << i don't recall asking for this to be a thing.
ben_vulpes: video drivers etc
ben_vulpes: i'm playing openbsd quest most recently, as openbsd didn't do drivers or reference implementation compilation
ascii_butugychag: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-01-2016#1370918 << ever since dc metro put in human drivers again into most of the trains, the thing brakes 10 times, lurches, nauseating ☝︎
pete_dushenski: there's pretty well zero overlap between greenies and truck drivers
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Or does gentoo not have drivers for your horse <<< bwahahaha epic.
BingoBoingo: Or does gentoo not have drivers for your horse
gabriel_laddel: drivers, iirc
copypaste: you can get a "non drivers driver license" (real name), but the line was so long and i already had a passport
mod6: <+asciilifeform> in usa - about same as trucker << just heard a commercial; Dominoes is paying $75-$80k for over-the-road CDL drivers day and night routes.
mircea_popescu: the only truck drivers not on meth are the ones too dumb to figure out how to buy it, currently.
assbot: Logged on 22-12-2015 13:17:24; mircea_popescu: and this is kinda also what powers the "uber revolution" : if you're willing to go from drivers to unskilled labour, you may "save" a little change off your ride and uber can make a killing.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-12-2015#1350294 << i've used it 5x so far. once it was a fraud (see logz) and got refund. the other 4, it was dour iranian drivers every bit as good as a 'normal' cabbie. which brings us to the very real 'fat' that there was to be trimmed from cab fare in usa: amortized cost of medallion passed to the customer, and other idiocies that uber nuked ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and this is kinda also what powers the "uber revolution" : if you're willing to go from drivers to unskilled labour, you may "save" a little change off your ride and uber can make a killing. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: on the OTHER hand however, you have to understand biology works on drivers, and b-a is very much a natural system, so biology applies. the whole shebang is driven by need, if you go "I NEED X and Y and Z to be able to do K!" you may or may not get X, Y or Z, or maybe a response as to the usefullness of K, but in any case the b-a itself gains. If you recall a primary driver for historical activity was alf going "I want
asciilifeform: i did try netbsd, which has all of the same necessary attributes, BUT lacked essential drivers
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-12-2015#1347332 << not quite the same. for weed, sellers just have to be 'licensed' ; whereas with drivers ed, sounds like dutch are putting the teacher in control and letting him separate the lemma from the palea so that he's not forced to bang mayo-gendered just because girl can't pay any other way ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-12-2015#1337200 << you don't understand the drivers involved. what will drive "self-driving" car adoption is not whether it objectively is better driven or not. nobody gives a shit about that. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: i should say, 'cars with direct human drivers', as opposed to 'cars with indirect human drivers' (ie. self-driving)
pete_dushenski: cars with human drivers.
ben_vulpes: perhaps if the world of 3 cars per american were to continue, there'd be an economic point to getting normies off the road. entire us interstate system is a ridiculous boondoggle that's going away, along with the mass-market car, and drivers who can't handle an ambush.
pete_dushenski: tired and drunk drivers are a thing, obviously, but isn't it incredible how few mistakes they make, even so ?
asciilifeform: * with some entropy drivers, however the rndlinux driver will use
mircea_popescu: more like, drivers leaving trucks did more damage than the enitre rest of the ops.
ascii_field: 'Before hitting the trucks, the American forces dropped leaflets warning that an attack was coming, and as truck drivers are deemed to be non-combatants, they were told to "get out of your trucks now and run away from them" before the airstrikes hit.'
asciilifeform: device drivers.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: well recently reread: http://trilema.com/2012/what-are-the-bitcoin-market-drivers/; and recently saw that all altcoins combined have less market cap than bitcoin; same feeling luke wilson has in Idocracy i 'spose
asciilifeform: ditto drivers for any kind of actual iron beyond the interrupt controller and bare bones ata
mircea_popescu enjoys human drivers.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: microshit demanded that drivers act as stoolies and search for signs that box is instrumented/tampered
ascii_field: 'Microsoft recommends that drivers be continually suspicious. Is that video decompressor taking longer than you think it should? Did the voltage just drop unexpectedly on the PCI bus? Vista has a concept it calls "tilt bits", as in the "tilt" mechanism on a pinball machine. When a driver sees something suspicious, it bumps the "tilt bits"; if too many suspicious activities happen close to each other, Vista degrades the
BingoBoingo: "The brake rotors tend to warp. And the door handles often fail to “present” themselves as drivers approach their cars."
ascii_field: CLI or GUI, whether drivers or devices, whether signed or malware! There is no such thing as an "illegal" instruction!' << win
kakobrekla: by making the drivers search for parking longer?
pete_dushenski: punkman professional as in truck/lorry drivers ?
punkman: generally all the professional drivers have diesel around here.

BingoBoingo: They promise though that if it rolls over "It will land on its feet" because... batteries go under drivers ass and the car's body
jurov: "The first phase of the TrueCrypt audit project, ... covered the driver code, but "Windows drivers are complex beasts"
ascii_field: 'OS X users who depend upon unsigned KEXTs for extra functionality—be it third-party hardware with unsigned drivers or software like OSXFuse that depends upon unsigned kernel extensions—will have precisely two alternatives: stop using the applications or hardware until the developers provide signed KEXTs, or disable SIP altogether.' << hello winblows 7 !
ascii_field: all drivers must be rsa-signed;
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i also suspect that one of the drivers of usg interest in demented pseudo-bitcoin contraptions ('permissioned blockchain technology!') is that these folks dream of a hybrid bulldog-rhinoceros, 'best of both', where usg can electronically steal everything you have, but without any bureaucratic snags - it will look precisely like a voluntary donation, from a mathematical standpoint
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Father/Son drivers.
pete_dushenski: Ehrnart/Goldsteins << nascar drivers ? or owners ?
ascii_field: the third half will write device drivers
thestringpuller: but tbh the drivers on linux suck balls
pete_dushenski: "Starting last month, New York City began tracking about 400 people's driving habits, including how much gas they use, when they drive, where they are, and how fast their cars go. The program, called "Drive Smart," promises drivers discounts of up to 30 percent on their Allstate auto insurance, as well as "incentive rewards valued at $25," according to the program website.

BingoBoingo: RE: 'Murica's decline http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/top-10/top-10-vehicles-for-obese-drivers-for-2013.html
asciilifeform: it is for the man who doesn't program device drivers.
BingoBoingo: trinque: No, because filesystems need drivers
asciilifeform: with own vga drivers, even
shinohai: Hmmm. i think I have incorrect video drivers, but pass works, thanks
mircea_popescu: <punkman> Eulora's kinda laggy for me, with ati6450 or something << it's pretty much all due to bad opengl implementation / dubious drivers. on compliant card-driver combos you get ~1k fps if reaosnably modern.
asciilifeform: the situation of 'drivers', for instance, is quite analogous to situation where every block of flats has own voltage, frequency, and mains socket shape that the landlord felt like drawing on a napkin.
mircea_popescu: "In just five years, Uber has accumulated enough rideshare industry milestones to make your head spin. The total distance traveled by all Uber drivers would take you to Planet Saturn — and back. "
pete_dushenski: "Drivers who work for Uber should verify their vehicles are insured for commercial use, the Insurance Bureau of Canada said Tuesday after the Alberta government concluded the ride-hailing service's insurance policies don't meet that province's requirements." << ayup. sv's 'sharing economy' is a whole whack of insurance fraud.
pete_dushenski: "Toronto taxi drivers are launching a class-action lawsuit against ride-sharing company Uber Technologies Inc [UBER.UL], seeking more than C$400 million ($307.27 million) in damages and an injunction to stop it operating in the Canadian province of Ontario." << speaking of those enlightened folk in toronto.
decimation: gabriel_laddel: sure, because hardware/drivers fuck you
williamdunne: You've got to connect the CAT 3 BSD cable into your Universal Parallel Networking port and install the latest ApacheBSD drivers, and then BGP route your HardDrive into the global local network, repeating these steps for each computer on the network. And once this is complete you plug cables into each of your available body holes and pray for IP issuance, prior to jamming each cable into your nearest USB hub
ascii_field: i've build drivers for winblows with mingw (gcc)

mod6: i have a $100 car that the drivers side window doesn't roll down, and the passenger side doesn't roll up. no rear view mirror (it fell off) and the side mirror is taped on with Ninja Turtle ductape.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: microshit discourages functional opengl in gpu drivers
mircea_popescu: with multiple versions of newest drivers etc.
decimation: apparently it does have linux drivers
BingoBoingo: Museum pieces make the best daily drivers, and Probe was engineered by 80's Japs so prolly durable
asciilifeform: mats: can you believe, they took seriously the idea that process separation (which barely works in 'userland') could apply to device drivers!
mircea_popescu: they'll fly off once the attention whores off social media get technically competent enough, which, barring any unemployed 40yo taxi drivers in fuckheadistan, pretty much means never.
thestringpuller: consistent drivers*
thestringpuller: Back when consoles were still kool tho, you could at least depend on Nintendo/Sony to have a sane third party get you drivers for the machine.
thestringpuller: The amazing thing is how Microsoft's plan for DirectX segmented the market like this (inconsistent GL drivers)
mircea_popescu: hm, does anyone remember this excellent write-up of the videogaming industry wrt drivers ? it was a fable-like story, didn't name intel nvidia ati etc but described the interactions with game developers in some intricate detail.
asciilifeform: mats: or the abundance of buggy legit-signed drivers to dynamically load and exploit
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel if you're going to be doing code preservation you prolly want to hash and deed like i did on the eulora binaries for nvidia drivers.
jurov: mircea_popescu: that's not nvidia drivers, but some library crystalspace depends upon
mircea_popescu: mike_c i put nvidia drivers in the binary bundle just in case.
chetty: graphics drivers
asciilifeform: no one - certainly not 'hackernews' imbeciles who ship their hardware with winblows drivers because 'consumer has come to expect' - give a flying fuck about auditability, etc.
gabriel_laddel: DE (with all the goodies MP and I discussed previously - !s paper clip), 3D CLIM (actually a rather involved project - selecting the correct hardware, reverse engineered opengl drivers etc is expensive and how exactly this gets split off into various products is complicated), a program that does run-time analysis on your CL code and optimizes it in
asciilifeform: mats: from the 'hackernews' thread, 'Why indeed. In fact we tried to remove the FDC, but Windows needs it in order to do certain operations like installing some drivers, so there was resistance there.'
asciilifeform: unless chump had opencl drivers installed
decimation: it goes back to what asciilifeform was complaining about re: drivers. You are gonna have to buy new hardware at some point, and then you are going to have to rev everything to support it
BingoBoingo: Then again that could just be good video drivers
asciilifeform: and 'virtualized drivers' are just passing the real os buck to the virtualizer

BingoBoingo: TomServo: asciilifeform was a FreeBSD man, but device drivers pushed him away, if I recall correctly nao CLANG+LLVM keeps him away
asciilifeform: when i worked, many years ago, at 'nih' in bethesda, maryland - they experimented with reintroducing elevator-drivers. as i understood, it was merely an employment program for the Officially Sad

asciilifeform: 'drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)' during boot
cazalla: BingoBoingo, ya know i use to get carded when i was 16, but i was smart enough to know the guy working at the bottle shop probably couldn't subtract my age from the current year, so he would glance at my provisional drivers licence and ring up my drinks no probs
ascii_field: (no support for the nand; bizarre bugs in other drivers)
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller nah, i write my own drivers. in vi.
ben_vulpes: cazalla, felipelalli: identity is not the important bit. trustworthiness is. no drivers license or electric bill proves trustworthiness.
