I guessed many words I didn't know on Wordle (not a native English speaker), if you are able to reduce enough the letters search space there's going to be only a few options that e.g. make sense phonetically.

Sure, lower levels will change, but instead of the chaos above they’ll just continue to simulate upper levels in perfect order (even if different).

Edit: putting some effort to be more precise (though I may be on the wrong track): since the period of the pattern is 35328, it depends at which tick we introduce the change. Since we're changing a cell at a certain level N it makes sense to consider tick 1 out of 35328 for level N-1 (zooming in).

If we introduce a change at any other tick (out of the 35328), what we are really doing is a big change in level N-1 rather than a single cell change in level N.

Lately I've been experimenting the usage of LLMs for the explainability of SQL stored procedures with exceptionally good results - think about identifying important fields, linking them to existing glossaries, expanding said glossaries, etc. I wonder how much SQL looking like natural language helped for my use case.

In Italy we definitely often use "campo da calcio" as a quick measurement unit for areas. I'm guessing that's due to the fact that for most people using squared meters is really limited to measuring housing areas and other few use cases, so reverting to something that everybody knows well (a football field) is much more effective. For distances, everybody is very comfortable using all powers of 10 of the meter for all kind of purposes so there's no need to use references to real world measurements.

France has been experimenting a 4-day week for primary school since the 80s [1], generally with a day-off on Wednesdays. The impacts are certainly there, e.g. "before September 2013, more than 40% of mothers whose youngest child was of elementary school age did not work on Wednesdays".

It sounds like a 4-day school week would be the natural consequence of a global 4-day working week.

Asking it to “explain how GPS works like I’m a seasoned engineer” yields a more detailed explanation and there’s no mention of GPS terminals sending messages back to the satellites.

Probably the “false output” you mentioned is due to the fact that the prompt asked to “explain it like I’m five”, which made ChatGPT answer with a “dialogue between terminal and satellite” explanation, which (arguably) may be better understood by a 5 years old.

Being not very good with numbers is one of the limitations of the current model. I imagine that in the future we will see integrations with a number of different tools to overcome these limits - WolframAlpha being the first one that comes to mind when talking about algebra and calculus.
