Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
The President Is Dead (In Helldivers 2) - Kotaku
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
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):
With Quantum Entanglement And Blockchain, We Can Finally Generate Real Random Numbers - IFLScience
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
To the reader/asker:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
What are the easiest stores for shoplifting?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Here’s the proof :
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Farewell, Mr. Eclipse: Fred Espenak dies at 71 - Astronomy Magazine
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
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:
Boeing Stock, Up 64% From April Low, Upgraded To Buy As Trump Game Piece - Investor's Business Daily
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
