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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

New Hope on Autoimmune Diseases: Sunlight - Newser

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

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

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

What changed for Shedeur Sanders over the past 2 weeks, and his status in the Browns QB competition: Mary Kay - Cleveland.com

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Japanese culture: Is it true adult adoption is common in Japan?

Here’s the proof :

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

Sorry, Trump supporters, but eventually it will have to be asked: Why didn't Trump do as well in his first term as he is doing NOW?

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?

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

What do the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz campaign ads following Taylor Swift's endorsement mean?

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):

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