  • the headline says that Meta lost 4.5 billion in the 2nd quarter. Also the article says they meta lost 3.9 billion in the first quarter. I think that is an a 8billion dollar loss in 6months.

    Unless I’m mistaken on the accounting, You shouldnt count a full years salary when comparing it to a 3 month loss, because meta has only paid 3 months compensation during the 2nd quarter.

    Using your numbers

    ( 17,000 x $100,000 )/4 is $425mill. In salary paid out in the quarter. Although software and hardware engineers at meta make way more than 100k/year.




  • Can I ask areal question? I’m not trying to be a dick or smart ass, I legit don’t get this. What is bullshit here? I read the article and it seems like a useful feature to me.

    “this week, we will launch an opt-in experiment”

    “those who have opted-in will have the option to access their preferred AI service from the Firefox sidebar”

    Is this opt in only feature really terrible? Because as a user of ai, not switching tabs sounds like a nice new feature to me.
