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...

Simulator-based reinforcement learning for data center cooling optimization

Gambar
We’re sharing more about the role that reinforcement learning plays in helping us optimize our data centers’ environmental controls. Our reinforcement learning-based approach has helped us reduce energy consumption and water usage across various weather conditions.   Meta is revamping its new data center design to optimize for artificial intelligence and the same methodology will be [...] Read More...

Improving machine learning iteration speed with faster application build and packaging

Gambar
Slow build times and inefficiencies in packaging and distributing execution files were costing our ML/AI engineers a significant amount of time while working on our training stack. By addressing these issues head-on, we were able to reduce this overhead by double-digit percentages.  In the fast-paced world of AI/ML development, it’s crucial to ensure that our [...] Read More...
