To the reader/asker:
Here’s the proof :
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Vantablack Paint Might Have A Legitimate Use Case In Space - Jalopnik
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):
Can you provide a list of cities named after animals and the animals they were named after?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:
A Mesozoic myth: Dinosaurs didn’t rule the Earth like we think - Big Think
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Why do some people have sex with dogs?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
