Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Jonathan Anderson has been appointed sole creative director of Dior - Vogue Business
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?
To the reader/asker:
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):
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Liberals, why don't you like Conservatives?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
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):
Biotech pauses trial after second patient death linked to gene therapy - The Washington Post
Here’s the proof :
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
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:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
