Large language models (LLMs) generate text step by step, which limits their ability to plan for tasks requiring multiple reasoning steps, such as structured writing or problem-solving. This lack of long-term planning affects their coherence and decision-making in complex scenarios. Some approaches evaluate various alternatives before making a choice, which improves prediction precision. However, they have higher computational costs and are prone to errors if future forecasts were incorrect. Apparent search algorithms like Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) and beam search are well-liked in AI planning and decision-making but lack inherent limitations. They use repeated simulations of the future, with…

Sometimes, eating makes me feel like Sisyphus. Every day, I must toil up the mountain and the rock to figure out what the heck I want to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I tested Factor meals (6/10, WIRED Review) earlier this year, and they’re a solid option if you’re the type of person that doesn’t want to fuss over your food.
