We think it’s time to leave leap seconds in the past. ? Adding seconds to timing systems to account for the long-term slowdown of the Earth’s rotation is an old practice that has outlived its usefulness. Meanwhile, new timing protocols like Precision Time Protocol (PTP) are making data center systems more accurate and precise than they’ve ever been. While we wait for an industry-wide freeze on leap seconds, we’ll continue to account for them in PTP. ???? ???? Learn more about how engineers at Meta are handling leap seconds in PTP, and how we’re making time work for us. https://lnkd.in/gnwrzHMv #LifeAtMeta #engineering #innovation

“Meta Quest 3 is the first device at this scale that can overlay virtual objects in your real-world setting while detecting physical services and objects around you — truly mixing your realities together.”? – Alfred J., VP, Hardware Engineering | Metaverse at Meta. Alfred’s passion for creativity started early with toys like LEGO and K'NEX, finding excitement in building something from scratch and discovering how pieces fit together to create something new. Today, Alfred applies that same excitement for creation to revolutionizing the VR industry, leading his team to build the next frontier of mixed reality.

The backbone of the internet is underwater, which is why we continue to invest in connectivity infrastructure like Project Waterworth. ?? It’s anchored by hundreds of subsea cables that account for over 95% of intercontinental digital communication, video experiences, online transactions, and more. Many of these cables chart similar courses through the oceans connecting a couple of continents at a time. “However, as AI continues to transform industries and societies around the world, we’ll need even more capacity, resilience, and global reach than ever before.” -?Santosh J., Head of Global Infrastructure at Meta Project Waterworth will be a multi-billion dollar, multi-year subsea cable investment to strengthen the scale and reliability of the world’s digital highways. We’ve plotted a course of over 50,000 km (31,000 miles), longer than the Earth’s circumference, through three new oceanic corridors to connect five continents at a time. This next-generation digital highway will power AI-driven transformation, fuel economic growth, and expand digital inclusion across the U.S., India, Brazil, South Africa, and beyond. ?? ?? See how we’re investing in Project Waterworth to help ensure that the benefits of AI and other emerging technologies are available to everyone, regardless of where they live or work. https://lnkd.in/dZZ7wiWv #AI #AIInfrastructure #TechForGood

?? Unlocking the future of AI research in London and Paris We recently hosted two AI Open Houses at our London and Paris offices, connecting PhD students with leading researchers and Directors with our Meta FAIR, GenAI, Monetization, and Monetization GenAI teams. These events sparked discussions on the latest advancements in AI and what it means to be a researcher in this space today. Our panelists shared insights into their groundbreaking work, from developing more efficient algorithms to exploring the ethics of AI. ?? Our AI Academic partnerships lead,?Pierre Louis Xech, also highlighted our PhD programmes in AI. Meta offers a unique opportunity to become a junior researcher in a world-class research lab while pursuing a PhD at a prestigious partner university in the UK (UCL and the University of Oxford) or France (ENS-PSL, Sorbonne University, and Paris Dauphine-PSL). If you're interested in pursuing a PhD in collaboration with Meta, where you can conduct cutting-edge research with real-world impact, we have opportunities available now! We're currently hiring AI Research Assistants (PhD) in our London and Paris offices. Join our team of talented researchers and contribute to building the future of human connection and technology.
