> A surprising finding of that project was that all fundamental constants ended up very close to 1

This does not mean anything, at all.


I think it implies that the recalculated value was close to the original value (ie scaled by 1) for most constants apart from the 2 mentioned.

The part they purport means something follows that. We would expect most constants to be fairly close to 1.

Probably that 1 is a divine number, and all other numbers are inferior.

Or it’s just humans project meaning into a meaningless universe.

What else is there to do?

Oh lord. I thought pgrust was a serious project.


You thought the vibe coded postgres port was a serious project?


Tbf, the author (prompter?) went on Postgres.fm [0] recently to discuss it, and while it didn’t make me entirely confident in it, it did at least seem like it was several steps above the average vibe project.

I've hosted a Minecraft server, reading this I immediately thought that a Pi was just not powerful enough to do an adequate job at running one. Perhaps they figured that out once it was too late?


I had the same thought. Using one for yourself and probably a friend or two in the LAN could work, but I doubt it can run a proper server with a reasonable amount of slots. Maybe the first real test opened his eyes, but he still underestimated the problem.


A non-scam product would probably be targeted exactly at that scenario: plug it in, run a server for a handful of friends. Likely anything more than 10 players would never depend on a product like this.

For family and friends, this should be adequate.


It's Stonebraker, he has a history of doing this to sell shit to people who don't need it.
