Do you know any website, forum, or resource dedicated to teaching people how to find information on the internet? For example: - How to find and select good shoes. - How to dig through old historical documents to fact check YT videos. - How to figure out the age and version (and manual) of an old vacuum cleaner. Yes, OSINT is a thing, but it doesn't really help | ||

I don’t know of any such resource. When I want to find stuff I use the light switch on the back of my skull to switch off my brain and ask HN to come up with answers for me. To my knowledge there is no way to search through internet documents or generate answers to questions using any form of known “conversational synthetic knowledge” technology. | ||
