Just a reminder that new Prime Minister Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq War, an illegal war that killed over a million people.
He joined Labour Friends of Israel, called BDS “spiteful”, praised Israel as a “democracy”, described the Balfour Declaration as “British values in action”, and still refuses to call the genocide in Palestine a genocide.
Not wearing a suit, having a northern accent, and getting rid of a lectern doesn’t make you a radical alternative. He’s the establishment’s last roll of the dice.
FYI: I used Kimi and Deepseek in opencode in Cursor's terminal, Cursor in it's own agent window. All three had no issues with figuring out the wsl lando environment.
For anyone interested in real world comparisons, I just used the same prompt with Kimi K3, Deepseek V4 Pro, and Cursor auto, to analyze a module and add a small feature in a 10+ year old codebase that has gone through many evolutions.
Results below...
Verdict:
Kimi over-complicates on simple tasks in unclean codebases.
Deepseek is more direct, and really is the cheapest.
Cursor auto is very good at common real world tasks and is still pretty cheap ...
As they get mogged by China harder and harder, it's hilarious to watch Silicon Valley libs get hysterical upon realizing that the real reason for US tech supremacy was US imperialism - not merit.
They were not more "intelligent" or "better at shipping" or had the "best brians in the world" or any such nonsense - they were just more evil and hegemonic. That was their real moat. All else was derivative and followed downstream.
And now with China's rise, that moat is drying up. And they cannot defend themselves, they have no option but to watch helplessly as China defeats and conquers them. The copium is a beautiful sight to behold.
