I was hoping that the heat pump could just hook into the existing ductwork (replace the AC unit) and use its own separate thermostat. The existing thermostat might try to turn on the non-existent AC just nothing would happen.

I have a gas furnace and a separate AC unit - I wonder can I replace the AC unit with a heat pump and keep the gas furnace? I could keep the existing thermostat and have the heat pump work with a new second thermostat so I can set the heat

To avoid the binary search making it trivial, maybe just tell you which guesses are correct and which other guesses match a value somewhere, like yellow letters in wordle. I think that would be more interesting but I have only played it in

Nothing wrong with traditional art. But AI is already fairly good at imitating specific artists or writers, so why not performers? Also what if a new AI performance or style develops its own character that may be valid in the same way as hu
