@er1n To run the joke into the ground...
0x00158000000000000A8BC022E900023F with tag bits set.

@samis @er1n AFAIK that's a bit... complicated, it has a lot of microkernel concepts even if enough is implemented down in SLIC for it to not /really/ be a microkernel. Message passing all the things is absolutely part of it.
(Kinda like how PowerPC is arguably not really RISC, but it uses a lot of RISC concepts.)
And... yes, it points to something important. (The address is also going to be unique to a given OS install.)
