AI & ML — Exploring Hierarchical Interest Representation For Meta Ads Deep Funnel Optimization

Exploring Hierarchical Interest Representation For Meta Ads Deep Funnel Optimization

Hierarchical Interest Representation is a research area for Meta Ads. We’re exploring an upstream representation layer over the universe of Ads entities – users, advertisers, products, services – learning unified embeddings that connect users’ inferred interests with the breadth of what advertisers offer in their deep funnel ads. The innovations in Hierarchical Interest Representation are […] Read

Performance — DSLs Enable Reliable Use of LLMs

DSLs Enable Reliable Use of LLMs

LLMs generate code incredibly fast, but to ensure they generate exactly what is intended, they need clear boundaries. Abstractions and Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) provide a strong harness that guides LLMs right from the start. The example of Tickloom - a domain model and DSL for illustrating distributed system behavior - shows how we can use an LLM as a partner to iteratively build a DSL and

Engineering — Shipyard: How We Built Slack’s Next-Generation EC2 Platform

Shipyard: How We Built Slack’s Next-Generation EC2 Platform

Over the past few years, we’ve been on a journey to modernise how we run Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances at Slack. In our first post, Advancing Our Chef Infrastructure, we shared how we moved from a single Chef stack to a resilient, multi-stack setup with versioned cookbook deployments and safer promotion workflows. This…

AI & ML — Modernizing the Meta Ads Service With an Open-Source Kernel Scheduler

Modernizing the Meta Ads Service With an Open-Source Kernel Scheduler

TL; DR At Meta’s scale, a few milliseconds of latency degradation can have a significant negative impact on ads performance. When a Linux kernel upgrade risked regressing latency across Meta’s ad serving fleet, we turned to sched_ext — the upstream, BPF-based extensible scheduling framework — to build a scheduling policy customized to the Ads delivery […]

AI & ML — Why we cannot wait for better post-quantum signature algorithms

Why we cannot wait for better post-quantum signature algorithms

NIST is advancing nine new post-quantum signature algorithms as potential candidates for future standardization. We take a closer look at all of them, and argue that while they are in the works and show great potential, we should use ML-DSA for now — the best one currently available.

Security — How GitHub gave every repository a durable owner

How GitHub gave every repository a durable owner

GitHub had over 14,000 repositories. Fewer than half had clear ownership. Here’s how we gave every active repository a validated owner in under 45 days, archived the rest, and made ownership the foundation for everything that followed.

Design & UX — Designing For Distressed Users: Why Mental Health Apps Shouldn’t Follow Every UI Fashion — Smashing Magazine

Designing For Distressed Users: Why Mental Health Apps Shouldn’t Follow Every UI Fashion — Smashing Magazine

Many UI trends are designed to capture attention and signal innovation, but those goals often conflict with the needs of mental health apps: reducing cognitive strain, fostering trust, and providing a sense of refuge. Kat Homan introduces an evaluation framework that helps designers assess whether trendy visual and interaction patterns support or undermine the unique goals of mental health experie

Frontend — Getting Started with Anchor Positioning

Getting Started with Anchor Positioning

For decades, one of the most notoriously-challenging problems on the web has been sticking one element to another element, for things like tooltips and nested menus. The CSSWG has decided to provide a first-class solution to this problem, and it’s pretty friggin’ cool! In this tutorial, I’ll share the most useful parts I’ve found from this modern CSS feature.
