From his comments and yours, here is what might have happened:

He developed an operating system by himself, spent a lot of effort in it.

Despite spending a large part of his life on this project, not many people are interested.

In despair, and alone, all he thinks about everyday is losethos, as you can see in each comment. In his mind, everything links back to losethos in someway.

`I could do USB but keyboard and mice aren't any better, possibly worse from a compatibility state. Memory sticks would be really nice. Now, we're in the domain of distinctive drivers for similar pieces of hardware. Can't do that. Might be able to.`

He seems to have related this article to how he didn't implement drivers for those accessories in his OS. (Schleps)

I am guessing he was sent to a clinic by his parents.

`I don't know. I don't even care. I don't care about one person. Parents are enemies. I pay them $600 they take care of me, but abuse me, I prolly abuse them. This is heaven -- argument clinic and I'm telling truth all the time, except for wild speculation. I don't know shit about reality.`

His frequent references to God suggests someone close has given him a bible, in an attempt to help him.

He is able to comment on HN probably because he still has access to his computer and internet.

Pouring your life into a project, only after finding nobody cares much about it, while living alone for years... I can see how I'd become mentally unstable too.

=(

`Frustration over my reality being bogus, sucks.` http://news.ycombinator.com/x?fnid=K3sfeO8PZb

He was probably told that by doctors. Could it be caused by long-term denial?

Here's more of him elsewhere: http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18514&sta...
