Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
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 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?

How do you confront your own family for not inviting you or leaving you out of things?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Here’s the proof :
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Assumenda assumenda cum ducimus iste enim eos dolores molestiae.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
To the reader/asker:
Michaels buys Joann brand, plans to expand crafting supply to meet demand - ABC News
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
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 presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Blue Jackets acquire forwards Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood from Colorado - NHL.com
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
