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

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:

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

Overthinking is killing me day-by-day. What should I do?

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 :

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

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

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):

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

I've had tinnitus in my right ear for 2 years. I sleep with one earbuds in my left ear, but at the lowest possible sound volume, white noise. Is it considered safe to do so?

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

To the reader/asker:

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

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

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