I’ve noticed that custom subagents in CC often perform noticeably worse than the main agent, even when told to use Opus and despite extreme prompt tuning. This seems to concur with the “keep it flat” logic here. But why should this be the case?

In the early 90s a friend bought a five or six chamber Aga. He had lived in a house in Europe that had had one and he loved it. It cost a fortune to acquire and to install as the house had to be structurally reinforced to accommodate the weight of the oven. I remember that it took at least a couple of days to come up to a stable temperature across the whole oven. Each of the cooking chambers had a different temperature.
I thought the whole thing was ridiculous.

Funny, the doc says 2-3 hours.

Heh, that's a great way to make a point, but right now AI is nowhere near what a traditional editor autocomplete is. Yes you can use it that way, but it's by no means limited to that. If you think of AI as a fancy autocomplete, that's a good personal philosophy, but there are plenty of people that aren't using it that way
The line isn’t as clear as you might think, eg jetbrains has a mini on-device neural net powered autocomplete:

Nice, this is really needed. Would be cool to see some of the less common regional Chinese dialects, which are widely spoken and often the only language older people speak. And even just more accurate regional accents for Mandarin.

This is some cool hacker stuff, but I imagine it’s against the terms of service
You mean using a headless browser to interact with a website designed for humans? Why would that be against their terms of service ;)
I didn't expect the article to conclude with a pg quote from twitter. Why did they think pg was a notable authority on the matter of human rights? I am not asking in snark, just curious.
Writing a summary of twitter hot takes is easier than doing actual research.
Also, this is a perplexing choice (which also serves to illustrate the above point regarding verboseness):
