Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Here’s the proof :
Do Republicans want to ban books and decide what your kids can and can’t read?
To the reader/asker:
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Google Play Store replaces ‘1-tap buy’ with ‘Slide to buy’ - 9to5Google
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
John Cena cuts pipe bomb promo towards CM Punk at the end of WWE Smackdown - NoDQ.com
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Utah health officials report 2 new cases of measles; statewide total now 7 - KSL News
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
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):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Which IT career path involves little to no coding?
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:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
