The interesting thing about that quote is it was found randomly in one of terry's livestreams by the quy who made the Down The Rabbit Hole video. He said he spent a solid 2 week period where he would literally only watch clips of Terry Davis to find things that other people haven't seen of Terry
“I am literally the smartest programmer who has ever lived.” *Proceeds to show evidence why he is the smartest programmer who has ever lived* Me: Fair enough.
In one of his earlier videos he states that the reason why 640x480 16 colors was the limit was due to the fact that it was hard to impossible to push better graphics without GPU acceleration.
According to his brother, Terry made something called a “shaper”. Basically think of a modern day 3D Milling machine, but way ahead of its time. You could send it CAD files and it would figure out the correct paths and ‘mill’ automatically. You can see it at 0:56. He also got in trouble at school for using a program he wrote to do calculus homework for him. Actual genius.
Listen, I love Terry, but let me tell you CNC mills weren’t exactly a new thing at that time, google says the first CNC milling machine is considered to be the one made way back in 1952. Anyway, to be able to build it on your own back in the day is quite an astonishing achievement. And I’m also assuming Terry developed his own alternative to g-codes, cause he would. That guy was a true engineer, he understood the principle of things and applied it to different areas

He desperately wanted someone else to take on this OS. You can see it in his writing. He explained everything he did in his code and made videos on how to use it and wrote it all out. Maybe one day someone just as smart will take on the project and make Temple OS 6.0!
The moment I realized he was the real deal was when he casually brought up a side project he was working on. It was a full 2D physics simulation program complete with rigid bodies, collisions, thrusters, springs, and pin joints. He threw together a demo in 5 minutes showing how you can simulate a rocket with fuel slosh inside, and he stabilized it using his own control system description language that he developed. Depending on the timelines, it's possible the dude made a better Simulink before Simulink existed. As a side project.

one of my very worst fears is Schizophrenia , I grew up with an uncle who "talked to God' and lived his entire life with his parents (attached to my grandmother's hip) His brothers ans sister never learned how to help him, they even laughed at him sometimes. But he was always the sweetest ro his nieces and nephew,loved hanging out with us,LOVED church,I think it;s the onyl thing that gave him peace somtimes. Such A happy guy you'd never know he was suffering until ,every few months, he's refuse to take his meds and become extremely paranoid. I can't imagine that sort of suffering and i fear it. Terry seems just as special as my uncle was,May they both be at peace
@@fragileomniscience7647 Fecal Matter Transplant is still not medically approved and afaik Bone Marrow transplants to treat Schizophrenia became more widely researched and applied around 2017 - 2018, which just so happens to be when Terry died. Might be mistaken on the above though, I just did some quick and dirty Google searching for 20 min because I am gonna sleep.
yeah, he actually was prototyping his own machine. i don’t think he finished but he is probably one of the first people to build one that is controlled by a pc.
The amount of skill the man must have had to build an OS from scratch at that time is huge. Someone needs to revive Temple OS. Its crazy to think that a person who was mentally unstable was able to think coherently enough to put together such a complex system.
It wasn't that he was thinking incoherently. His brain was working overtime. You see and hear things that aren't there. He was perfectly capable, but received stimuli that was a figment of his illness.
He didn't just build the OS. He created the compiler and bootloader also, no GNU. Like the video said, there were no third-party libraries; Terry created the 3D graphics library, multiple CLIs, and improved on the clusterfuck known as C.
There was an video of him where he talks with one of his fans about computers. He was completely lucid and for a lack of a better word - normal, but only when focusing on that topic. Trully an amazing mind.

This was a lot more technical and interesting than I thought it would be. I expected some sappy drama focusing on Terry's illness. The way TempleOS is protrayed here actually makes it sound like a great project. I really miss having a "pure" system for tinkering and recreational programming. And I'm trying to find the best way to introduce my children to computing, like I was with the C64. The only other project in that spirit that I know of is Hackety Hack, which is a lot more abstracted away from the hardware.
@David Hestrin not close enough to the hardware. The point of using Commodore 64 is that it came with a manual and you could start experimenting with assembly language without too many steps.
I know this may be an old comment, but a TI-84 plus calculator might be the best bet, considering the community for it and the ease of accessing assembly in the ones that allow it, being all the ones before the 84 CE and with OS 5.3 (or older) if on a CE. It also has an 8-bit cpu, a descendant of the one in the classic z80 computers of the 80s.
My interpretation in Mr. Davis' religious sense, no malware thing because no networking is like no doorway to corruption, so evil does not exist. No need for passwords, no encryption, like no secrets in life, so need to hide them. Single voice 8bit Midi, the only voice to listen to is God's voice. Being 64-bit and offering multi-core threading were real logical design choices. Single address mapping and no paging allowed, I am not so sure about this one relating to religion or life, but probably being having a single house address, no where to hide, no paging, because we take care of everything in the house, not offloading it to other properties or property managements? (But, it does keep it fast doing this way). No GPU acceleration, not sure, maybe like a car or something in life that made things convenient or easier? Just trying to interpret Mr. Davis' art. Just a guess at these things. Hope it helps
I suffered from severe mental illness since I was 30 (I'm 50) and worked for Cisco for 20 years. I was an excellent engineer but was also hospitalized half a dozen times and finally couldn't work at all. I ended up with parents again, so I know some of what Terry must have gone through, but it's unfortunate he wouldn't take medicine for his schizophrenia. Most metal health meds are garbage, but for him it has a decent history of helping. Rest in Peace Terry (Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd always makes me think of him)
I'm an electrical & computer engineer. Terry Davis was a legit genius that had an affliction he could not control. I hope his genius can be appreciated by many, and some lessons can be learned about the unfortunate nature of mental illness. Miss you Terry, you freaking god damn revolutionary.
Mad respect from cs student. He created his own os, kernel, programming language and compiler without third party library on his own, i can't even do assembly
I remember stopping by his streams every once and a while to say hi... I just found out he died when I saw this video, it’s truly sad but hopefully he’s in a better place now

@@tdcfc The profanity shouldn't be filtered out, it is that simple. The disgusting hollyweird elites wouldn't be interested in a real tragic story anyway. All they make is anti western propaganda, payed by the chinese communist party.
@@tdcfc it wouldn't be needed to filter out anything if society wasn't retarded. This is what severe mental illness looks like, we shouldn't shame him we should all be ashamed of ourselves to not have a way to provide support to these people. He wouldn't be banging out racial slurs if he had gotten the help he needed. They should make a biography and they shouldn't leave anything out. He was a 0.0001% genius and this is what his illness led him to, it can happen to anyone.
He would not have been one of the worlds best programmers... he already was, it only happens that not much people recognized his work, God gave him unimaginable skills, at the cost of mental health, his genius was truly incomparable
I don’t think he would have been. If he wasnt insane he probably would never start templeOS and never make videos of himself. He’d work in some company and make good money and we probably wouldn’t even know him.
@@martinsauer9403 No guarantee he wouldn't have made a Github repo of OpenSource OS though. One thing for sure if he was bipolar as they diagnosed, much of his work was probably done through a manic phase. Watch some documentaries of people diagnosed with manic-depressive psychosis aka Bipolar disorder, think Carrie Fisher or Stephen Fry... they found it REALLY hard to let go of the euphoria or to even be persuaded that they're not being super-productive, just silly.
Alpha Jay 3.0 Schizophrenia is a mental illness, but Terry was more than just an ordinary schizo. If you leave out the racist rants and vulgar language, you can see the Einstein in him.
I was in a psych ward with this guy. Nobody believed he was a programmer and the staff thought the writings in his notebook was just schizophrenic babble. He figured out that by turning on certain light switches and devices we had on the unit at the same time would cause a vending machine in the lobby outside our locked unit would dispense C7 which was donut holes. The night janitor used to slip them under the door for him.
I used to watch his live streams for hours years ago. I lost track of him. Until today. I am devastated to understand what happened to that poor soul. I had no idea he became homeless. I hope he found peace.
Brilliant coverage of this amazing human story. I never knew about Terry or his OS, but I feel enriched having heard the story. Thank you for producing that.
What an interesting individual. I believe he has reached his goals in life. Not a lot of people can say that, as many die in wars "for their country", get caught up in different projects or have no goals, thus wasting their lives. Cheers mate, good to see your work is still appreciated.
This is a much more respectful look at the troubled life of Terry than I expected going in. I think you've done a great job of radiating the positive perspective of what captivates so many people about him.
I'm not really a sympathetic person but damn if Terry is not the exception, there is just something about him... You should listen to him sing if you have not "king terry davis go dogs go".
Medication is very crude. It basically blocks receptors which disables a lot of other things that are positive. Usually people will end up more or less numb and sedated, thus ruining any form of creativity and drive.
@@allowambeBOWWAMB very untrue. Medication is designed to return normal nt release or reuptake. It's best for having homeostatic neurophysiological workings.
@@GamingWimpGW360 No, it can't be thus designed yet. Our knowledge of brain processes is indeed very crude. Most of it actually follows our studies on such psychoactive substances. The way antipsychotics work is akin to pouring something into a country's entire water system to touch upon those who do something wrong we don't yet know what. It does get them, but everyone else is just as affected and just because we can tipify the thing that does get them says little about why it works that way. That is really the basis of most of what is considered knowledge about psychosis. And if we can say something about the most affected, we know extremely little about its consequences on the networks themselves, we just postulate some hazy material generalizations.
@@arthurschmidt3104 lol. No. We have so many solutions for problems, but hidden from the public. Like faster eft, LOA. Btw I healed a disease in myself.
As a member of one of the communities he hated, I don't care about the words he said. His greatest achievement wasn't that of his hate, it was one of his computing skills.
I don't think he truly hated anyone. He didn't grew up in that kind of environment, his parents didn't raise him to hate minorities either. It was part of his delusions.
To people who found him offensive or angry, that is NOT him, that is his condition, and being hurt by the comments of those struggling with mental illness will only make them feel more hurt and confused, they will make the illness part of them, which it is NOT. They are hard to live with, they are volatile, but that is not them. RIP Mr. Davis.
He inspired me to create my own OS too. Delta0, my own fork of Linux, my own Kernel, but i mainly use the Debian libraries and installed the MATE desktop environment. So it's 100% compatible with 16bits system, 32bits system, 64bits system, from AMD Athlon to AMD Epyc processors. I'm working on Delta0_v2.1 : To be fully compatible with Intel and ARM processors.

one of my very worst fears is Schizophrenia , I grew up with an uncle who "talked to God' and lived his entire life with his parents (attached to my grandmother's hip) His brothers ans sister never learned how to help him, they even laughed at him sometimes. But he was always the sweetest ro his nieces and nephew,loved hanging out with us,LOVED church,I think it;s the onyl thing that gave him peace somtimes. Such A happy guy you'd never know he was suffering until ,every few months, he's refuse to take his meds and become extremely paranoid. I can't imagine that sort of suffering and i fear it. Terry seems just as special as my uncle was,May they both be at peace

Should have gotten him a fecal matter or bone marrow transplant.

What do you mean "he made an OS by himself". This feat of programming shouldn't be possible. I'm just speechless. This is... Perfection
I mean you say that like we found MS Dos in a cave somewhere.
@@SuperDi_ Aliens 😂
@@SuperDi_ MS Dos wasn't made by a single person.
It's insane, he single-handedly wrote over 120,000 unique lines of code, I'm sure his schizophrenia had some contribution to this.
he made the OS with god obviously.
Moses got tablets of stone from God.
After 3600 years Terry got OS.
Even God goes with progress.
RIP Terry.
Jesus freaking Christ, he had pc operated CNC milling machine? In the 90s?
yeah, he actually was prototyping his own machine. i don’t think he finished but he is probably one of the first people to build one that is controlled by a pc.
Yeah it burnt down his apartment and that’s why he stopped
G Code isn't really that hard to program. He probably only slightly reworded his point interpolation system.
The amount of skill the man must have had to build an OS from scratch at that time is huge.
Someone needs to revive Temple OS.
Its crazy to think that a person who was mentally unstable was able to think coherently enough to put together such a complex system.
It wasn't that he was thinking incoherently. His brain was working overtime. You see and hear things that aren't there. He was perfectly capable, but received stimuli that was a figment of his illness.
He didn't just build the OS. He created the compiler and bootloader also, no GNU. Like the video said, there were no third-party libraries; Terry created the 3D graphics library, multiple CLIs, and improved on the clusterfuck known as C.
There was an video of him where he talks with one of his fans about computers. He was completely lucid and for a lack of a better word - normal, but only when focusing on that topic. Trully an amazing mind.
Just imagine more feats he would make in TempleOS, had the mental illness not barred him from doing so.
The art make makeup the ilness. As a person with anxiety, i can say the music its a temporal scape. The ill was there, but not in front for a short extasy time.

This was a lot more technical and interesting than I thought it would be. I expected some sappy drama focusing on Terry's illness. The way TempleOS is protrayed here actually makes it sound like a great project. I really miss having a "pure" system for tinkering and recreational programming. And I'm trying to find the best way to introduce my children to computing, like I was with the C64. The only other project in that spirit that I know of is Hackety Hack, which is a lot more abstracted away from the hardware.
It was a great project but the marketing really sucked.
get your children Raspberry Pi - they'll love it. At least mine did.
@David Hestrin not close enough to the hardware. The point of using Commodore 64 is that it came with a manual and you could start experimenting with assembly language without too many steps.
I know this may be an old comment, but a TI-84 plus calculator might be the best bet, considering the community for it and the ease of accessing assembly in the ones that allow it, being all the ones before the 84 CE and with OS 5.3 (or older) if on a CE. It also has an 8-bit cpu, a descendant of the one in the classic z80 computers of the 80s.

Praise HolyC
My interpretation in Mr. Davis' religious sense, no malware thing because no networking is like no doorway to corruption, so evil does not exist. No need for passwords, no encryption, like no secrets in life, so need to hide them. Single voice 8bit Midi, the only voice to listen to is God's voice. Being 64-bit and offering multi-core threading were real logical design choices. Single address mapping and no paging allowed, I am not so sure about this one relating to religion or life, but probably being having a single house address, no where to hide, no paging, because we take care of everything in the house, not offloading it to other properties or property managements? (But, it does keep it fast doing this way). No GPU acceleration, not sure, maybe like a car or something in life that made things convenient or easier?
Just trying to interpret Mr. Davis' art. Just a guess at these things. Hope it helps

I suffered from severe mental illness since I was 30 (I'm 50) and worked for Cisco for 20 years. I was an excellent engineer but was also hospitalized half a dozen times and finally couldn't work at all. I ended up with parents again, so I know some of what Terry must have gone through, but it's unfortunate he wouldn't take medicine for his schizophrenia. Most metal health meds are garbage, but for him it has a decent history of helping. Rest in Peace Terry (Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd always makes me think of him)
I'm an electrical & computer engineer. Terry Davis was a legit genius that had an affliction he could not control. I hope his genius can be appreciated by many, and some lessons can be learned about the unfortunate nature of mental illness. Miss you Terry, you freaking god damn revolutionary.
What i expected to watch
A video about a weirdo who thinks he's an agent of god
what i watched
A story about a developer god
Would make for a great anime
“ I programmed the universe “
@@l0sts0ul89 you forgot "that time" in the title

Mad respect from cs student. He created his own os, kernel, programming language and compiler without third party library on his own, i can't even do assembly
I need help with Python ffs
Jesus this dude was a god tier programmer. No pun intended. Making an OS compiler and a language by himself. That’s just madness. RIP a goat fr.
I remember stopping by his streams every once and a while to say hi... I just found out he died when I saw this video, it’s truly sad but hopefully he’s in a better place now
“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

It might be the narrator
He was literally too brilliant for this world. RIP king.
I'm not a religious man but I hope God was there for him while he suffered, and I hope God is is still there for him in the afterlife
As the son of someone who committed suicide because of advanced schizophrenia I cannot but sympathize deeply with this man's relatives and fans. It's such a frightful illness and I wish no one should have to deal with it.

Terry’s life story could make an interesting movie one day
That's what I was just thinking.
Hard to filter out all the profanity but it's interesting to think how people would "hollywood" his life into a movie.
@@tdcfc The profanity shouldn't be filtered out, it is that simple. The disgusting hollyweird elites wouldn't be interested in a real tragic story anyway. All they make is anti western propaganda, payed by the chinese communist party.
It would have made a great Kubrick film
@@tdcfc it wouldn't be needed to filter out anything if society wasn't retarded. This is what severe mental illness looks like, we shouldn't shame him we should all be ashamed of ourselves to not have a way to provide support to these people. He wouldn't be banging out racial slurs if he had gotten the help he needed.
They should make a biography and they shouldn't leave anything out. He was a 0.0001% genius and this is what his illness led him to, it can happen to anyone.
Came from a meme and got interested in his personality and now I've been recommended this video. I am truly sad now that he's passed.
Terry is somewhat of an inspiration for me to continue doing things in C and C++.

Once you know C and C++, there really is not much else you would need to know.
And even then, most other languages are probably easier to use.

He would not have been one of the worlds best programmers... he already was, it only happens that not much people recognized his work, God gave him unimaginable skills, at the cost of mental health, his genius was truly incomparable
I don’t think he would have been.
If he wasnt insane he probably would never start templeOS and never make videos of himself.
He’d work in some company and make good money and we probably wouldn’t even know him.
@@martinsauer9403 No guarantee he wouldn't have made a Github repo of OpenSource OS though. One thing for sure if he was bipolar as they diagnosed, much of his work was probably done through a manic phase. Watch some documentaries of people diagnosed with manic-depressive psychosis aka Bipolar disorder, think Carrie Fisher or Stephen Fry... they found it REALLY hard to let go of the euphoria or to even be persuaded that they're not being super-productive, just silly.
@@martinsauer9403 He wouldve made his own company. If i remember correctly he tried starting one before he began templeOS

If he wrote an OS from scratch, then why wouldn't anyone give him a job. Such a person shouldn't be homeless.
He was crazy in actually a danger to others crazy. His parents wanted him to take his meds probably because they were scared of what he might do

Schizophrenia is a mental illness, but Terry was more than just an ordinary schizo. If you leave out the racist rants and vulgar language, you can see the Einstein in him.
as Linus Torvalds said mastering C Language is enough, you can basically do anything
As any Mathematician would say, as long as the language is turing complete, you can do basically do anything.
@@jeromemartel3916 P.S. In _theory_...
I was in a psych ward with this guy. Nobody believed he was a programmer and the staff thought the writings in his notebook was just schizophrenic babble. He figured out that by turning on certain light switches and devices we had on the unit at the same time would cause a vending machine in the lobby outside our locked unit would dispense C7 which was donut holes. The night janitor used to slip them under the door for him.
I used to watch his live streams for hours years ago. I lost track of him. Until today. I am devastated to understand what happened to that poor soul. I had no idea he became homeless. I hope he found peace.
This is wonderfully edited and researched
Also great job of going into the actual dynamics of the code. Not a lot of people who cover him do that.

@@GamingWimpGW360 No, it can't be thus designed yet. Our knowledge of brain processes is indeed very crude. Most of it actually follows our studies on such psychoactive substances. The way antipsychotics work is akin to pouring something into a country's entire water system to touch upon those who do something wrong we don't yet know what. It does get them, but everyone else is just as affected and just because we can tipify the thing that does get them says little about why it works that way. That is really the basis of most of what is considered knowledge about psychosis. And if we can say something about the most affected, we know extremely little about its consequences on the networks themselves, we just postulate some hazy material generalizations.
@@arthurschmidt3104 lol. No. We have so many solutions for problems, but hidden from the public. Like faster eft, LOA. Btw I healed a disease in myself.
As a member of one of the communities he hated, I don't care about the words he said. His greatest achievement wasn't that of his hate, it was one of his computing skills.

This was very well done, thank you!
RIP Terry, you were amazing.
To people who found him offensive or angry, that is NOT him, that is his condition, and being hurt by the comments of those struggling with mental illness will only make them feel more hurt and confused, they will make the illness part of them, which it is NOT.
