or less than a day for OTR long haul. 12+ hour days are not common, most of it spent driving.

Long hauls need to stop being a thing. There are multiple issues but the biggest is that pollution compared to freight trains is much higher because the energy efficiency is much lower. If reducing the amount of deaths in the "far off" future is too abstract for you then consider the number of collisions with big rigs that kill people annually. If you're just a jerk, then consider that it will significantly reduce the number of highway repairs needed and thus save a lot of money while reducing traffic.

I'm guessing these will be for close-to-terminal local delivery only

That's how big rigs should be used. If it has to go a long distance then it should be by train. Freight trains are no utopia but perfect is the enemy of good.

I 100% agree with your point but I also have to wonder, is it a bad thing? This strikes me as a way to make the browser able to fund itself while actually doing some good for people.

The answer lies in what they do next: squander the funds (seems likely) or make real improvements.

QEmu is the end-all be-all of emulated systems. It's basically, the Linux of emulation.

While I use it mostly by command line, there are many GUI frontends for QEmu. "Aqemu" is the one I know off the top of my head which is decent. I don't think it has the ability to use the snapshot API, so if you need that then you may need to find another GUI or modify it yourself.

But the initial wave of enthusiasm could still peter out, especially as token costs accumulate and regulators warn of security vulnerabilities. Zhipu this week raised token prices on its new OpenClaw-optimised AI model by 20%.

"Output is extremely low: ordinary people spend tens or hundreds of yuan, burning through a bunch of tokens and in the end, they might only get a pile of useless data," read one post on Rednote, a social media platform, titled "Goodbye OpenClaw."

It would appear that people are personally finding out that AI is overhyped.

True enough but the migration cost is immense

The real problem here is that businesses are overly focused on profits which leads to homogeneous environments that rely on specific products and product-specific integration. It's much wiser to hedge your bets with a more diverse environment in preparation for a product to be unavailable, be it discontinued, "upgraded", or bought. Being forward-thinking isn't free which is why profit-centric businesses won't do it.

TL;DR: Monoculture results in bad outcomes like this "death sentence"; invest in diversity.

It's just an incomprehensible madhouse of spaghetti at this point.

This madhouse was always going to be the endpoint when people started distributing "containers" instead of just building the app properly. However, it's clear that containers have become the only option for script based languages because they are already a security nightmare.
