No, skills are telling the model how to run a script to do something interesting. If you look at the skillshub the skills you download can include python scripts, bash scripts... i didn't look too much further after downloading a skill to get the gist of what they had done to wire everything up, but this is definitely not taking security into consideration

I agree with the comment above. I have not logged into hacker news in _years_ but did so today just to weigh in here. If people are saying that the audio sounds great, then there is definitely something going on with a subset of users where we are only hearing garbled words with a LOT of distortion. This does not sound like natural speech to met at all. It sounds more like a warped cassette tape. And I do not mean to slight your work at all. I am actually incredibly puzzled here to understand why my perception of this is so radically different from others!

Probably the most informative source

I love these comments like "you've clearly never X".

I have, in fact, used Taxis in California. Is it easier to use Uber or Lyft? Yes. Is there absolutely no alternative as the commenter above suggests? No.

We can have a conversation around why the Taxi system sucks, if you'd like.

It's called a Taxi. They will drive to your location, pick you up, and take you anywhere you want to go.

Just to clarify, a "toddler" is 1-3 years old. So a 5 year old is not at all "almost a toddler".

"A 5 year old does not have these skills"

They should have learned that by age 4, which is why kids start pre-k/k at the 4/5 age range.

"Who said this article has to have a point?"

Probably because we expect more from the source - The Atlantic. If this was the author's personal blog I would not be saying anything. But this article sits next to subjects like:

- Can a Protest Movement Topple Netanyahu? - Russiagate Was Not a Hoax - Our Students Are Depending on Us, teaching through Covid-19

I do work from home, and my 10 year old is doing remote learning.

There are many benefits to remote learning, and I know it will come as a shock to people who buy into the 'kids need to socialize' group-think, but the 'socializing' they do in school tends to be very limited in time (a couple of 10-15 minute breaks on the playground, talking at lunch, disrupting classes and not listening to the teacher), and then there is the problem of bullying and cliques of students excluding 'non-conforming' students. Mental health at school isn't handled well. Fairness is out the window. School shootings are growing exponentially.

Schools suck.

I'd rather my child get his socializing from extracurricular activities with peers he knows and gets along with than dealing with the failures of our educational system.

This article decries remote learning and offers nothing to move the conversation forward on what WOULD work. The author makes no point at all other than complaining about how her child can't sit still. And I'm saying I bet her child can't sit still in a physical school either, so its not about remote learning. It is because suddenly she has to be the one to deal with it instead of the teacher hidden away in a school building. The author wants to paint a picture of how bad remote learning is, when really it's just not suited for her child. It works fine for many other kids.

Wow. Agree with all the other comments. I read the whole article, and there is some next level self-centered entitlement here that has wholly passed on to "Raffi" the 5 year old who is only now learning not to deliberately make his little brother cry, and who has learned that spitting his drink on a laptop makes mommy and daddy take him to the park. While I want to empathize with the parents, the fact that they blame remote learning for all their problems rather than realizing that they have raised a hellion and dumped him on the poor teachers at school... and are bitter that now they have to deal with their own child... wow... yeah, definitely not the parents problem. Everything is to blame on remote learning! We better re-open the schools again so parents don't have to deal with their children!
