"Fireball" vs. "Make it go boom": Building a Semantic Search for D&D
- centamiv 9mo agoHi HN, I wrote a short post demonstrating how vector search works by building a D&D spell finder. Instead of using a vector DB immediately, I implemented the cosine similarity math manually in PHP to demystify how embeddings actually work under the hood. The code compares query vectors against a JSON dataset of spells to find matches by intent rather than keywords.
