Welcome to Listening Habits, a column where I share the music I’ve been fixated on recently.

Max B has been home from jail for a little less than six months now. It's been a pleasure to watch him gallivant around the city, making up for all the lost time.

“My goal isn’t to be the best, because I’m not and never will be. It’s just to be better than I was yesterday—which is a very sports-brain thing.” - - - Why Mina Kimes believes the NFL remains so culturally dominant: Every game matters It expanded its fan base through fant...

Another example of ChatGPT utility. Asked this question: "I have a function named viewFeedItem. Inside it has an icon that when you click it, it calls viewFeedItem to view the parent of the item. But I don't want it to call viewFeedItem directly because that leaves the previous instance of viewFeedItem around. In javascript what's the best way to defer the call to divFeedItem so that the two instances are unrelated, and the first instance goes away." I was pretty sure as I wrote this that setTimeout was the answer, but ChatGPT offered it as the first choice, and explained why it was the best. It's like having a code consulant, you're the surgeon and it's ready to help. And it really does help to know it parsed it the same way I did.

“President Trump called in a new interview for the Republican Party to ‘nationalize’ voting in the United States, an aggressive rhetorical step that was likely to raise new worries about his administration’s efforts to involve itself in election matters.” — New York Times - ...

I hate that I had to think about the modern equivalent of asbestos--the wonder material of AI--at the time, but it made me think of how a line its proponents often use is that the introduction of generative AI mirrors the advance from painting to photography--a line that's been said to me even on this platform. Of course, that's a lie. Photography never replaced *this*. It simply cannot.

Amelia and I got to visit the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels--specifically the old masters collection--and it was fascinating. Didn't have nearly enough time to see everything, only a couple of rooms before closing time. They don't prepare you for how large these paintings are in real life.

The company’s robotaxi service is supposed to launch in the US capital this year. But while service rollouts have been relatively smooth in other cities, DC’s rules have made things tricky.
