What's that got to with recipes? OP is right, ChatGPT is excellent for recipes. I can tell it exactly what ingredients I have available, plus whatever constraints I want (e.g. max prep time) and it gives me all kinds of wonderful recipes - and to make things even better it, it only gives me the recipe and doesn't waste my time with 500 words of SEO nonsense. As long as ChatGPT is this good I don't think I'll ever need a "normal" recipe website again.

Same idea as "Jon Skeet facts": https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9134/jon-skeet-fact...

I've read Bostrom's Superintelligence and followed the debate around so-called "AI safety" but it always felt too abstract to take seriously.

That's starting to change now - this AI is getting good, powerful, and alarmingly convincing. I still don't feel like the AI apocalypse is inevitable, but it's starting to feel possible, and it makes me uneasy.

> Because of limitations in browser parsing engines...

I'm happy about this feature, but they don't really elaborate on what these "limitations" are, except a passing reference later on to "making the parsing engine slower".

Anyone know what the issue is exactly? Why can't they implement it the other way without making the parsing engine slower?

Couldn't <this> be a custom HTML element? So there'd be a naming clash.

> SCSS are getting superseded by CSS.

Reminds me of how Coffeescript died out because its best ideas got integrated into Javascript.

What I want to know is: how the hell did this take so long? Nesting is such an obviously useful feature to have in CSS, and once I'd experienced it in SASS I never wanted to be without it. Why did it take 10+ years for this to be introduced to CSS, especially when other browser-based technologies like JS have evolved enormously in that time?
