Losethos's real name is Terry Davis. His video had me awestruck, laughing (he can be pretty funny and relatable), and just all-around amazed at the man's sheer brilliance. I cannot begin to fathom the dedication that it must have taken to create such a piece of software, especially in the face of constant rejection from people on the internet because of his schizophrenia.
- ericd 13y agoWow, that's really impressive.
- Untit1ed 13y agoYou're right about him being funny - when he's demonstrating all his half-finished games it reminds me a lot of Carrot Top's prop comedy.
- pdknsk 13y agoWatching the video almost made me sad that his effort is going by unrecognised. Even more so because the OS appears to have documentation and plenty of tips built in, but nobody but him will ever use it, so it's all in vain.
- toyg 13y agoCould Terry Davis end up being the William Blake of OSes?
- barbs 13y agoI've been meaning to properly check out TempleOS for myself. I'd also be interested in looking at the source code, written in his own dialect of C (Holy C).
- fprawn 13y agoThis is amazing. He's come up with completely new ways to do graphics on modern CPUs. This is genuinely impressive stuff and the breadth of it is mind blowing. It's upsetting how dismissive of his work he can be, he deserves to be proud of this, I certainly would be.
- gwern 13y agoCouldn't you write up some of the more impressive parts? If he can't do it for himself, and it's really that mind-blowing, it'd be a shame to let it go ignored.
