Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

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

Observations from Titans Minicamp on Wednesday - Tennessee Titans

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.

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

Rihanna’s Father, Ronald Fenty, Dies at 70: Report - Billboard

To the reader/asker:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

CRISPR used to remove extra chromosomes in Down syndrome and restore cell function - Earth.com

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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:

Why do Democrats never produce a good argument for why Trump was a bad president?

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

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

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

When sharing a wife, is it best with your buddy or a stranger?

Here’s the proof :

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