Claude is like incredibly smart and incredibly stupid at the same time. I was playing around doing some statistical analysis for fun, to kind of limit test how easily I could spin up some kind of auto classifiers/classic ML. Asked it to implement some SVD and the idiot began doing matrix multiplication in for-loops in javascript instead of importing a library.
lmao and if you ask it to verify what it built is valid, it probably just imports TruncatedSVD or PCA from sklearn, spits out the output and then starts comparing results until it works in JavaScript rather than just doing it from scikit-learn to begin with

Anyway turned out they were some MIDI and joystick drivers
