- hogehoge51 4mo agoThe 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 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible (To put it in Hacker terms, where I suspect RAG could be a more familiar term than Bible)

- jacksonastone 4mo agoshots fired!
- hogehoge51 4mo agoThe return volley is worse! My attempt at explaining the concept of a Bible in terms relative to a "hacker world view" is making me bleed many downvotes ;-) The Bible as a RAG is very interesting for me even as a non religious person - A document that has survived and guided millennia of civilization should be accessible as possible. But also seeing how concepts of the modern world and different ancient worlds map to the Bible via a RAG is fascinating.

- boston_clone 4mo agoor “slavery”
- chrismorgan 4mo ago“Source code” is not at all the correct term. It’s more like the documentation.
- dredmorbius 4mo agoCivilisation, for those unfamiliar ... ;-)
- krapp 4mo agoThe Jesus cult had a lot of forks but nothing was standardized until the Council of Nicaea formalized a spec and then later the King James committee published the framework that became the working standard. Think Javascript pre and post Microsoft. But with lots more violence.
- mcswell 4mo agoThe Jesus cult documents (and the documents before that fork) exist in thousands of languages besides Javascript/English... Indeed, the original FORTRAN/ Greek, plus LISP/ Ethiopic, not to mention the Assembler/ Hebrew from before the fork. And modern languages like Tzeltal/ Python.
- chiply314 4mo agoIm always so disappointed in fellow hn people when reading stuff like this. Its not the code of our civilization at all. religion might be a component for a certain phase in a civilization, but it is one we have to overcome and not a positive one. And its very unclear how much real impact it has (positive or negative). Even without religion, people lived their lifes and progressed. I would argue even in the past religion hindered us as a civilization. Its a snippet of a culture from the middle east which spread certain mental virus across europe.
