Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Raleigh passes Bench for most HRs by catcher before All-Star break -- in 14 fewer games! - MLB.com

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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):

Samsung may soon open One UI 8 beta program for Galaxy S22 - SamMobile

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

To the reader/asker:

Why are Democrats deflecting and aren’t as tough on Hunter Biden with all of his criminal activity and his rising possibility of him receiving a charge for illegally owing a gun?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Here’s the proof :

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

Is it possible to use AI to help with interview questions?

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

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:

Early humans took a giant evolutionary leap when they started eating meat - Earth.com

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?
