Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
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:
To the reader/asker:
Do you usually wear your panties over or under your pantyhose?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
What made you stop being an addict?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Here’s the proof :
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Weird-shaped notebooks make me want to write again - The Verge

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 presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Why does a college girl cover her face with a scarf in Bangalore?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
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?

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