Made this in a free evening. Index an permissive license translation of the Bible (WEB) into a RAG database to allow returning passages of similar semantic meaning. Lots of fun. For example, &quot;more money more problems&quot; returns Ecclesiastes 5:9-13 which, I&#x27;ll just say, is spot on..&quot;Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field. He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity. When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes? The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep. There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.&quot;Anyway - thought it was fun enough to share. It&#x27;s slow and I vibe coded it so I haven&#x27;t sorted out how to make it not take 15 seconds to vector search against the full 4GB index.

The disappearance of Japan's animators

The overall idea is to chart out the thousands of Mini PCs by benchmark and reveal the Pareto Front so you can get the most Compute per Dollar. Definitely a labor of love as I have a number of Mini PCs for my &quot;homelab&quot; (TrueNAS, piHole, Plex, basic stuff). It uses Gemini to extract specs from listings (since they&#x27;re not often strongly categorized).Quick blog post here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;luke.zip&#x2F;posts&#x2F;pareto-pcs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;luke.zip&#x2F;posts&#x2F;pareto-pcs&#x2F;</a>

Mixing Visual and Textual Code

Here is a tool I built initially for myself to help with my German and Greek language studies. It started as a hack for creating Anki cards from native language audio. It extracts the words, finds their base forms (lemmas) and groups the examples by the lemma. At some point I realised that I have a transcription with word level timestamps that opens a lot of other opportunities. So I added a mode to click the first and last word in the transcript and it starts looping with the right gap and repeat count.Another feature I use a lot is selecting an audio fragment, sending a predefined prompt to an AI to &quot;explain grammar&quot; or &quot;explain nuances of meaning&quot; and I still experimenting with prompts.And because shadowing is so easy I also use it as a player to improve my English pronunciation. (I am not a native English speaker.)I made a quick video showing the workflow for creating Anki cards and shadowing: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;TaR58uuDBvU?si=o5aGLAi2S-BZ7Zy9" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;TaR58uuDBvU?si=o5aGLAi2S-BZ7Zy9</a>The app supports 15 input languages (Japanese and Chinese are the latest experimental additions), and more than 30 output languages.I would really appreciate it if you could try it <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lingochunk.com&#x2F;try" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lingochunk.com&#x2F;try</a>. I know there are other tools with similar functionality but I created something that fits my workflow and it is fun to build.Also I struggled to find public domain audio for the try page. I&#x27;d be grateful if anyone could point me to public domain sources (I used LibriVox, Wikimedia and FSI courses), or if you&#x27;re a creator, let me feature some of your own recordings with credits and links.
