#72That's cool! I did the same for the Quran to see how RAG works. I also indexed related works called "Hadith" and the names of Allah. It initially required indexing everything using OpenAI embeddings and then powered by it. https://reminder.dev/search It's also open source https://github.com/asim/reminder
Yes! looks like yours has more features (I considered generating the audio) FWIW I observed that the embedding gives the most signal when I pass whole paragraphs (for all I know the Quran is in lyrical verse so maybe that doesn't work)
Ah interesting. So I'm using an English translation. Tbh I wish I could do more with the Arabic but the models are not perfect at that. But the idea of giving it whole paragraphs makes a ton of sense.
Tried to generate audio but wasn't satisfied with the interpretation of some words, saying that thou may try again.

#73RAG, for those unfamiliar, retrievel-augmented generation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval-augmented_generation >
The Bible, for those unfamiliar, it’s the civilization source code forked and maintained by the Jesus cult that emerged about 2 millennia ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible (To put it in Hacker terms, where I suspect RAG could be a more familiar term than Bible)
Civilisation, for those unfamiliar ... ;-)

From your earlier comment: > It is saying that each of them can use the others body as they like, without regard for the other This is your own interpretation and it shows your bias. The bible (and I assume other religious texts) is easy to misinterpret due to bias. It's not written like a technical documentation where the tiniest details are specified; thus giving plenty opportunities to subject a text to arbitrary…
Funny how my view that 'your body belongs to yourself and no one else' doesn't require study and cross-referencing and other passages to understand.
In a marriage context, if you apply "my body, my choice" as a justification for adultery be sure to let us know how that works out for you.
IMHO there is more to this concept than you are considering.

#76This is really cool! I like the idea :)

Also, from your comment > "marry and enjoy sex" is what Paul is trying to say This is your interpretation and shows your own bias. I read it as "you must have consent from your partner to withhold your body from them". Which is revolting and coercive.
Friend, you are right to question the meaning of the scripture. But, I urge you to continue. Don't stop after you've just begun. Investigate it. This is your kneejerk interpretation. Read the Gospels, read the Acts of the Apostles, see if your interpretation fits.
Reading a helper function for an api call on a web server doesn't tell you what the web server is used for.

#78There are lots of fair use translations available here at https://www.crosswire.org/sword/index.jsp
Re: Show HN: Bible as RAG Database
#79For completeness, this should include all possible books, including Ethiopian, and then it should include a drop-down with pre-defined sets one could choose from (Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox...).
Yeah a drop down list like that would be sweet. I think you'd have to format / find the open source version / translation of that text. Finding a well formatted and readable, public use (not just nkjv for example) was tricky For WEB I had to do a good b it of data massaging to get it in a consumable format..

Ah very interesting. For this one, I had to dig up an older repo I made where I converted WEB translation into one big json file to make it easier to work with. Not sure the formats exposed and how... pliable? they are. (https://github.com/jacksonStone/Bible_as_JSON)
