A party trick I've done speaking at conferences is to poll the level of accuracy that is impressive for a model.
Then I point to envelopes on a table with sealed predictions to test. I assert that I will surpass the impressive level of accuracy (and always do)
Like, "You are sitting in New York."

Yes! And another (non-exclusive) option is to optimize for a payoff matrix, where rare but valuable/costly events are weighted accordingly.

I saw that James Watson has passed on, and I remembered the old joke:
Q: What did Watson and Crick discover?
A: Rosalind Franklin's notebook.
Probably quite simplistic, but it is a shame her contributions to science get so little attention.

I *think* they are static playlists that are periodically updated (I've read that they update "once a week" but have never really checked.)

Tidal is great, much better audio quality IMO!
Not sure whether this is an obvious tip, but: after finding an artist, also try "[artist] radio" for a mix of them + related tracks.
For instance, "Bill Evans Radio".
It's been a while but TuneMyMusic worked for me, too.
