Excellent Presentation About Map Making Problems and Different Methods Used to Flatten the Globe. Why All World Maps are Wrong

I never studied map making much in my life and it must have been 20+ years ago that I took a college course about map making and the many complex problems that map makers face. Nothing has changed in hundreds of years as far as these problems are concerned. This video does an outstanding job of explaining this and makes it interesting for people to watch. A Cartographer is a person who creates maps.
This is a good introduction to map making for people all over the world to watch.
Most people just look at maps and never think about them the same way a Cartographer does.

Tesla Full Self Driving v14 -- The Next Leap Forward -- It is Amazing

Tesla Full Self-Driving v14 -- The Next Leap Forward


I use Tesla FSD everyday, and it is excellent. Tesla is far ahead of other companies that hope to build self-driving cars. We are at the point where Tesla's technology is ahead of the approval process of USA States evaluating this amazing technology. 

Once you use FSD, you quickly realize that it is already safer than any human driver. The only problem that may occur, is with the Tesla Navigation system taking you to the wrong location or parking lot.
This is not the fault of the FSD system, and most of the time the car goes to the correct location. FSD will take you to a Tesla charging station and park perfectly.

One important tip that I have learned, is if you trying to make a left turn across a busy street, you should use the turn signal to tell the FSD to turn right, and then it will make a u-turn when possible. Just like a human driver would do in congested traffic. 


Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) Version 14 marks one of the biggest overhauls yet in the company’s push toward true vehicle autonomy. According to CEO Elon Musk, this update “feels like a quantum leap” — powered by a vastly expanded neural network and new end-to-end planning models that allow smoother, more natural driving behavior.

🚘 Major Upgrades in FSD V14

  • 10× Larger Neural Network: The driving model now has an order of magnitude more parameters than V13, allowing it to analyze complex traffic patterns and predict driver intent more accurately.
  • Improved Urban Navigation: City driving feels less jerky, and unprotected left turns are handled more confidently thanks to better path prediction.
  • Refined Autopark & Summon: Parking maneuvers are faster and more precise, using a new vector-based positioning system.
  • Reduced Driver Alerts: The new monitoring model can tell when you’re attentive without constant steering nudges — though supervision is still required.
  • Visual Enhancements: The in-car display now renders surrounding objects with smoother motion and higher fidelity, hinting at future robotaxi visualizations.

⚠️ What to Watch Out For

  • Still Level 2: Despite massive improvements, V14 remains a driver-assist system — not true autonomy. Drivers must stay alert and ready to intervene.
  • Hardware Compatibility: Only vehicles with HW4 or newer will receive the full V14 feature set.
  • Regulatory Oversight: Tesla continues to face close scrutiny from U.S. regulators over FSD safety and terminology.

🧭 Early Access User Feedback

Early testers report that FSD V14 delivers smoother turns, fewer phantom braking incidents, and a more human-like sense of flow. One beta user described it as “the first time the car truly feels like it understands what’s happening around it.”

🔮 What Comes Next

Tesla plans to iterate rapidly on this foundation, with FSD V14.1 and V14.2 expected to refine lane selection, improve merging logic, and expand vision-only autopilot capabilities. Musk hinted that these updates could bring Tesla “closer than ever to generalized autonomy.”

Nobody taking away our right to vote, wake up black people, he's talking about illegal migrants, they don't have ID, that's their new voting base.

 



This is where my righteous anger pops up, bc know what he saying is a lie bc I live in the south and when I go to vote, every single time there's an election, and guess what, I show my ID, I write my signature, they check to see who I am. Nobody asking me to count any jellybeans in the jar, and quit lumping us in the people of color category. Nobody taking away our right to vote, wake up black people, he's talking about illegal migrants, they don't have ID, that's their new voting base. I've been having ID since I was 15 years old, I'm 50 years old, every black person i know has ID. You need an ID to buy liquor, cigarettes, get on a plane, go to a club, even the homeless guy i just gave $5 dollars had an ID to go get his liquor. Wait till the end when she talks about her marriage license... this lady nails it.
