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:
Scientists Discover Bizarre Signals Coming From Ice in Antarctica - futurism.com
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
To the reader/asker:
Devin Harjes, "Boardwalk Empire" and "Manifest" actor, dies at 41 - CBS News
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Here’s the proof :
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Why would Joseph Smith say that polygamy was God's law?
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):
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Massive Achievement for Ripple as XRP Price Finally Awakens - CryptoPotato
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
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.
Why do women change that much more with age?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
