It’s time to leave the leap second in the past

The leap second concept was first introduced in 1972 by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) in an attempt to periodically update Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) due to imprecise observed solar time (UT1) and the long-term slowdown in the Earth’s rotation. This periodic adjustment mainly benefits scientists and astronomers as it allows [...] Read More... The post It’s time to leave the leap second in the past appeared first on Engineering at Meta.

Inside Meta’s first smart glasses

Gambar
What’s new: Meta is sharing the inside story of how it developed the Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses. Why it matters: Creating Ray-Ban Stories meant Meta’s engineers had to take on new challenges to build smart glasses that married complex engineering dynamics. How do you make something that features cameras, microphones, audio, and touch controls, all [...] Read More...

Post-quantum readiness for TLS at Meta

Gambar
Today, the internet (like most digital infrastructure in general) relies heavily on the security offered by public-key cryptosystems such as RSA, Diffie-Hellman (DH), and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). But the advent of quantum computers has raised real questions about the long-term privacy of data exchanged over the internet. In the future, significant advances in quantum [...] Read More...

Maintaining large-scale AI capacity at Meta

Gambar
Meta is currently operating many data centers with GPU training clusters across the world. Our data centers are the backbone of our operations, meticulously designed to support the scaling demands of compute and storage. A year ago, however, as the industry reached a critical inflection point due to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), we [...] Read More...
