Sass Dark/Light Theme Mixin

Sass Dark/Light Theme Mixin

This is a Sass mixin to handle a 3-way dark mode. It relies on a data-theme attribute on your <html> element with a value of light or dark. If data-theme is absent (i.e. it's neither light nor dark), the system's preferred mode is used.

body {
  // matches data-theme="light" or data-theme="auto" with system instructing light mode
  @include light {
    background: white;
 color: black;

Notes on the GPT-4 abbreviations tweet

Notes on this tweet.

  • The screenshots were taken on different sessions.

  • The entire sessions are included on the screenshots.

  • I lost the original prompts, so I had to reconstruct them, and still managed to reproduce.

  • The "compressed" version is actually longer! Emojis and abbreviations use more tokens than common words.
