And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

What a list actors/ actresses are notorious for being jerks in real life?

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):

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:

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

Why do flat-earth conspiracy theorists believe that photos from space, including those of satellites, are fake?

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

United says it will slash Newark fares to win back travelers after airport chaos - NJ.com

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

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