- when I launch an application on my Mac, it is good that it takes the focus
- however, if I interact with a different app while waiting for the new app to appear, I would like the new app to *not* take the focus. You missed your chance, app
- under no circumstances is it ok for an app to grab the focus multiple times while I am trying to do something else

The nice thing about server-side LLMs hitting the point of diminishing returns is that it gives local LLMs a chance to catch up and for their utility to approach parity.

I’m super excited about `text-wrap: pretty`. It does a lot more to improve typography than you might expect — at least in Safari Technology Preview 216.

It improves all lines of text, not just the last 4. It enhances hyphenation & rag, not just avoiding short last lines.
