> It takes extraordinary skill to successfully juggle multiple ventures. That's a myth. I've done that, and I know a lot of people who do that. Do you think Musk is writing sparse attention code for Grok? Does he even know how Grok's architecture works under the hood? Or that he designed the data centers? I mean, you delegate stuff. The only hard thing is getting the right people, but if you're a hyped up billionaire…

Blue origin just landed their new glen rocket. Not an easy feat.
Although I wish billionaires would fix homelessness, I think its good there’s more competition in the space launch industry.

#104Honestly, why? Why not just focus on Blue Origin? I don't get this new Musk-like tendency to run multiple ventures instead of focusing on one very tough mission.
It’s free money. You spend 3billion and have more billions drop in from investors. You get to create great tech and then make 100s more billions drop from IPO. When the initial investment is a rounding error in your portfolio, it’s a crime to not do this
Or they could just be happy with the many billions they have.

Realistically if they were capable of being happy doing something other than acquiring more currency they would never become billionaires. Any reasonable person would simply live life enjoying their 10s or 100s of millions.

#107Everyone knows that the best companies have two CEOs.
Seems to be working for Waymo so far, though of course Waymo isn't an independent company.

> Is "A.I." NYT house style? Looks rather jarring. I think their style is to use periods for acronyms, which I believe is traditional. A quick scan of their recent headlines turns up "U.S", "A.I.", "A.T.M.", "ICE", "L.P.G.A.", "REI", "U.K." I don't know what the reasoning behind the use of "ICE" and "REI" is, could be a mistake or a judgement that those words are tend to not be understood as acronyms, or something el…
IIRC they used to always style "NASA" as "N.A.S.A." even though the agency itself never uses periods and is of course always pronounced as a word rather than initials. (This particular example stuck in my mind just because I work there). Hopefully "ICE" and "REI" reflect a change in that style to omit periods when referring to organizations that omit the periods in their own style guides.
I don’t think this has been true for the vast majority of NASA’s existence. [This 1966 NYT article about Gemini](https://www.nytimes.com/1966/03/20/archives/gemini-8-mishap-...), [this 1986 article about Challenger](https://www.nytimes.com/1986/09/22/us/nasa-had-solution-to-k...), and [this 2010 article about Constellation](https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/27/science/space/27nasa.html) all omit periods. Even if NYT did stylize it as “N.A.S.A.” in its earliest articles, this would not diverge from common agency practice early on. For instance, in [this official reel about the dedication of Marshall Space Flight Center](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fasslw4MvE), it is pronounced spelled-out as four letters.

#109Jeff Bezos as a CO-CEO sounds like a corporate structure recipe for disaster.
It’s pretty common sentiment with senior level Amazonians that Uncle Jeff was a great leader. Many lament his departure and loathe his replacement.
Lifestyle distractions aside, Bezos playing any kind of CEO role is probably a good thing.

Homeless is mostly a self inflicted issue that most don’t want to solve. So why should others try solve it?
