Search engines have been dropping in quality significantly within the past decade, and especially within this past year. The noise to signal ratio has been frankly painful.

Can you please share some resources you use when trying to find answers to technical questions?

For example, STEM, academia, engineering, programming, etc.

      I feel like this is a risky approach. LLMs are designed to spit out text that sounds good, that’s all. If it hallucinates important info away, your compiler will not always tell you.
