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

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.

Is 1500 calories enough for a 5’3 15-year-old who is non-active?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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

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

To the reader/asker:

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

Here’s the proof :

SpaceX’s Transporter 14 launch today will carry more than 150 capsules of DNA, human remains - Space

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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