More interestingly, it was 64-bit from the core, and eschewed the use of traditional MMU in favor of just using the 64-bit address space to separate process's memory. Except, Terry Davis became schizophrenic and wouldn't take his meds. He changed the name of his OS to TempleOS after he decided he was hearing god through it. He used to comment here on HN (user "templeos" now deleted apparently), but his increasingly irrelevant and (literally) insanely racist comments quickly led him to being shadowbanned. Vice wrote an article about him: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/wnj43x/gods-lonely-programmer https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/wnj43x/gods-lonel... Last we heard a year or so ago, he was homeless in Vegas after getting kicked out by his parents: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16105043 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16105043

He kept posting on his account after being hellbanned, up to 3 months ago. You need showdead on. https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=TempleOS https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=TempleOS

  These sorts of things interest me so I went though a few of his posts. It’s interesting that his “God says” messages are all 32 words long. Makes me wonder if it’s a cypher, just gibberish or some combination of both.

    He generated them in TempleOS. A lot of features in the OS were supposed to be direct messages from God.
