A Postgres function that judges rows in plain English
I think I just cooked something 🔥 jev(): a PostgreSQL extension that searches your whole database in natural language. No index, no embeddings, just one function. WHERE jev(people, 'could work from home') or WHERE jev(people, 'name sounds european') 129 rows judged in ~1s…
Why it is here
A Postgres extension that judges rows in natural language with no index and no embeddings: one function inside a WHERE clause, a hundred and twenty-nine rows in about a second. The demo is small and the shape is not — a filter that can read what a column means.
What we checked
- post read through the public syndication endpoint on 2026-09-24
- text, author, date and like count read from that response on 2026-09-24
- poster image stays on X's CDN; nothing downloaded or rehosted
What we did not check. We did not re-run the thing the post describes, so every figure on this page is the author's own and every claim is theirs — the note above is what we make of it after reading, not a measurement. The like count is a snapshot read on 2026-09-23 and it has moved since; 2,834 is what it said when we looked.
