And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Here’s the proof :
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
To the reader/asker:
What’s something you’ve learned that you think everyone should know, but nobody talks about?
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.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Which screenshot of Hollywood can get 1002 upvotes?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
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.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
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:
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
