Hate to say it, but this was an instant Buy for me. I love experimenting with new modalities and this is a cool idea pre-packaged. If it doesn't work, what is 200 bucks compared to a SWE salary? It would be a wacky novelty memento of the time. If it is a nice boost to my work by... what... 2% - or just good for a chuckle each day - Good, I'm happy.

Feels like a leap. This kind of move was always possible. It's possible China stops publishing their frontier too. US could lock down access to Nvidia latest hw of scale even if you intended to do open models. Then what? Say amd or bust? The best you could do going solo (i.e no nation-state interference) is tiny stuff that you can run on commercial stuff. But that is seriously limited / slow in comparison. You either have to do dumb and fast, or smart and slow IME for these self-hosted things that aren't on the beefy racks.

Got the protestant and catholic now. Orthodox I am discovering is not a simple matter of "just include the canon"!

They are now optionally included based on the canon you pick

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)

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..

I think their point is if you are a reader of Paul's work and the surrounding text you can deduce pretty soundly he isn't saying take turns in mutual abuse, but something else. Big picture, Christianity has a central, and odd tension, of sacredness of individual, but also perfect unity in community. The Trinity as the prime example. But marriage also as two flesh becoming one. Much of Christian writing is how to resolve that seeming contradiction (individuality with perfect unity and love)

Yeah just made repo public: https://github.com/jacksonStone/cross-cannon

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)

I wonder if polytheistic toaster would be more or less... ambitious.

I'll just open source it, just a sec (keep in mind, vibe coded :D)

shots fired!

I wanted to know it was only returning source. My suspicions always go up when I have the LLM lean on its "deep memories". too much fluff, inconsistent translations, stuff like that.
jacksonastone··on Show HN: Bible as RAG Database
You could make the case I've just been indoctrinated in this stuff (genuine believer) but I take that to be a profoundly progressive verse given the context Paul is writing. Notice the symmetry.

WEB translation of Protestant Canon, but your point is a good one. I will kick the agents.

Ah no it doesn't but could be added. The books are listed in the checkbox list

it's basically running on a toaster, sorry

I think more so what Jesus is calling Christians to do is to be forgiving of others in the way God is forgiving to man. Which can often be more difficult of a thing to do than to always seek proportional judgement. I do not think in other words his reading of that verse is all that different from yours.

Somewhat related to this conversation but this reading is clear in my view if you continue to read what Jesus says in this passage :)
