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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

Do you think Putin wants peace with Ukraine, or does he want Ukraine?

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

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

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:

Where's the Civil War everyone on the left said would happen?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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):

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

Here’s the proof :

Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?
