You don't to execute code to have it backtrack. The LLM can inherently backtrack itself if trained to. It knows all the context provided to it and the output it has written already.
If it knows it needs to backtrack then could it gain much by outputting something that tells the code to backtrack for it? For example, outputting something like "I've disproven the previous hypothesis, remove the details". Almost like asking to forget.
This could reduce the number of tokens it needs at inference time, saving compute. But with how attention works, it may not make any difference to the performance of the LLM.
Similarly, could there be gains by the LLM asking to work in parallel? For example "there's 3 possible approaches to this, clone the conversation so far and resolve to the one that results in the highest confidence".
This feels like it would be fairly trivial to implement.
I see a lot of people talking about rental properties and I don't think there's enough talk in favor of rental properties so here's my shot at it.
My philosophy of being a landlord is not to bank on appreciation, but rather find houses where the mortgage is well below what tenants are paying for. How do you find those kinds of houses? You buy dilapidated houses, renovate them and then rent them out. If you don't want to go through that work, there are middlemen called "turnkey providers" that renovate houses and then sell them to investors for a profit.
From there, you can decide whether to manage the property yourself (less passive) or hire a property manager (more passive). If you hire a property manager, they do all of the busy work associated with owning a house like finding tenants, collecting rent, evicting tenants. They do not get paid unless there is a tenant on the property so it's in their best interest to find you a good tenant.
The thing I like most about rental properties is four fold:
1) Positive cash flow (rent minus all operating costs)
2) Depreciation (in the US, you can depreciate the cost of the house--not land--over 27.5 years which usually makes the cash flow stated above tax free)
3) Principal payments (part of the mortgage the tenant pays goes into the principal of the property--usually around 30% of the first payment goes to principal if you put down 20% and it only goes up from there)
4) Appreciation (the house & land usually appreciates at pace with inflation)
Also remember, the longer you hold the property, the higher the rent will be while your 30 year loan will stay flat. This makes holding property much more appealing later on but with higher repair bills as well as things start to break.
There's a lot of advantages with owning homes IF you do the math correctly. Here's a video of Brandon Turner, the owner of Bigger Pockets, discussing how to analyze rental properties for the math to make sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uogn4qtZ8U
Also, if there's a downturn in the market, usually people that own homes move to rental properties.
If you're interested in rental properties, I'd suggest the bigger pockets forums where you can read about everyone doing this type of stuff:

I think you missed mentioning the greatest thing about rental properties: You're buying the property using someone else's money (via a mortgage). There is literally no other investment besides real estate that allows you to do this.

You would be correct if you were managing this property yourself. This would be incorrect if you have a property manager managing this property. You can work with your property manager to auto approve any house related work that is under a certain threshold. Otherwise, they will send you an invoice for you to pay at your convenience.
With that said, depending on the property manager, they will do some of the following: find tenants, place tenants, evict tenants, collect rent, find contractors/repairperson to fix issues, etc.
The property manager makes it mostly passive but probably an hour a month of work if that.
Sure, but then the property manager charges so much that it's probably not a profitable investment, or at least a much less profitable one. They typically charge a % of the rent, plus another fee for whatever activity they do- x number of dollars to visit the site, x dollars to show the property, x dollars to go to court, manage the contractors, and so on.
Now it's 'passive', sure, but no longer an 'investment'
Not only that, but her answers were "in memory of ...[of her husband], a gentle spirit, and in memory of my father, mother, aunts, uncles, friends, and many others who have lost the cancer battle."
Here's the problem. The person was being paid to pay attention to the road. According to the below news article, the person was watching the voice on their mobile phone while the car was driving. Perfectly acceptable if the vehicle has already been rated to be fully autonomous but, in this case, they are still testing the automation and the car detected the bicyclists 5.6 seconds prior to the accident.
Uber should be partially at fault since they deactivated the automatic emergency braking.
Yes, I agree when vehicles become fully autonomous, people will be less attuned to the environment, but in this case, the person was hired specifically to pay attention at all times.
