It’s interesting that the latest rumour is Globalstar, previously they were rumoured to be going with OneWeb who I believe will have a better network when it’s complete.
OneWeb were due to finish their constellation this summer, but have had to redirect launches from Russia to SpaceX delaying the completion of it. I wander if that impacted the Apple deal, with Apple wanting to launch the product this year.
OneWeb were launching incredibly quickly last year, achieving one launch of 34-36 satellites per month. It’s unfortunate that it came to a halt in February due to Ukraine. They are currently on 428 of 648 for the complete constellation, I believe just below what’s needed for initial operation.

- samwillis 4y agoHa, autocorrect…
- metadat 4y agoAw, why'd you fix it? That was gold.
- andy_ppp 4y agoI really can’t stand how stupid autocorrect is, surely in an age where deep learning can predict how proteins fold it can phonetically and contextually correct words?
- samwillis 4y agoI know right, it’s definitely not related to words you write on a regular basis…
- zaroth 4y ago100% agree. Maybe the specific layout of a QWERTY keyboard is somehow particularly bad for this, but jabbing at the general location of the letters I want combined with a half decent AI should make text entry really damn reliable. Even just writing that paragraph, so many autocorrect opportunities were missed, and so many were suboptimal or just plain wrong… Blows my mind that Apple isn’t doing better at this feature at this ooont. No, I meant to type “point”!
- moonchrome 4y agoI keep hearing how robo taxies are a year away - meanwhile when I asked Google assistant to call my wife to avoid looking at the screen and driving it decided to call some company in Delaware (despite me living in central Europe). Seems like there's low hanging fruit in AI applications that are still not even close to optimal.

- smcl 4y agoI've just accepted that it about 70% of the time it'll switch the words "ill"/"I'll", "well"/"we'll" and "its"/"it's" to the wrong version even when I use them correctly.

- yetanotherloser 4y agoI hear the inventor of autocorrect died and went to hello.
