"It seems like every few years, you could write a whole new book on gravity."

James Riordon, author of "Crush: Close Encounters with Gravity," recommends his favorite books on this peculiar force—from the equations needed to understand it, to a funny book about what it's like to live without it:
Gravity
Since the 17th century, we've been aware that the force that causes apples to fall from a tree is the same force that holds the planets in the sky, but we still don't know everything there is to know…

2025 was supposed to be the Year of the A.I. Agent. According to @garymarcus.bsky.social, however, AI agents have been a dud. "They’re building clumsy tools on top of clumsy tools," the author of "Taming Silicon Valley" told Cal Newport for the @newyorker.com:
Why A.I. Didn’t Transform Our Lives in 2025
This was supposed to be the year when autonomous agents took over everyday tasks. The tech industry overpromised and underdelivered.
