Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Dolorem suscipit perferendis ea aut quo et ea.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
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:
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):
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Why am I so wanting to suck a penis?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Here’s the proof :
How did you adjust to civilian life after your military service in the British Army?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
To the reader/asker:
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Have you ever witnessed a remote beach show where hundreds of turtles crawling to the water?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
