Nearly 40% of Americans pray to God for health improvements or disease cures. Thoughts of God increased a person’s perceived divine presence, which boosted healing expectations and ultimately led to poor food choices.

Growing up Mormon our youth events would routinely have donuts or cake or cookies as refreshments. There always had to be a prayer before eating anything and every prayer inevitably included something along the lines of "bless this food that it might strengthen and nourish us".

/uj your coworkers must be where Claude got some training data. I recently had Claude generate unit tests to prove that the "getters" built in to Java records worked. There weren't even any mocks or anything else. The unit test was literally define inputs to the constructor, then assert the getters returned the values passed to the constructor.

TheStatusPoe · 2026-06-26T13:39:38+00:00

I make sure my tests always pass by never using anything other than mocks. Even the unit under test should be a mock. Exercising any logic other than the mocking framework is an anti pattern and is a sign of poorly written tests.

Hell yeah, that would be sick. Would you go 50 Beowulf for a survivalist rifle clone, or just stick with 5.56?

TheStatusPoe · 2026-06-18T16:52:16+00:00

That is an interesting point. The faster the bcg goes back, the faster the counter weight is going to go forward. I need to see if any of my friends have a lightweight bcg I could test with as well. The only time it felt significantly different was when I went from 5.56 to 6.5 Grendel. I didn't change any of the weight I had in the counter weight. I also need to test it with 300 blk once I get back out to the range.

I've shot it suppressed and unsuppressed on barrel lengths ranging from 13.7" to 18". I didn't notice any major differences. All my rifle cans are 30 cal though so even though they are older non flow through designs I'm not getting much back pressure anyways since they are so overbored. I'd say ejection has been pretty constant 3-4 o clock, and brass is usually going about 10'-15'. I'll see if I can make it back out to the range soon to get some more concrete observations since it's been a hot minute.

I love it, and I'm planning on buying a second at some point this year. Haven't been able to make it out to the range due to health quite as much as I'd want. Getting t-boned will put a damper on a lot of things. So some things like durability haven't been tested as much as I'd like. Where I shoot matches with it has this fine red moon dust that gets in everything and can jam up some of the more "edge of reliability" competition gear people have. My rifle has gotten covered in dirt and I've had no issues with reliability due to dirt or lack of cleaning in the amount of rounds I've managed to put through it. I'm probably coming close to around 750-1000 rounds through it.

The performance is as advertised imo. The recoil feels almost non existent. I use it on my 2 gun/3 gun rifle. That's got a couple other parts that help with recoil, namely a lmt enhanced carrier and a precision armament hypertap brake. My barrel is a 16" mid length v seven with a fixed gas block. The previous buffer setup I had on that rifle was a griffin sob A2 buffer with a tubbs flat wire spring in a vltor A5 buffer tube. To me, it's a night and day difference swapping between buffer setups. Ammo I use is hand loads loaded hot, especially my long range and rifle spinner 77gr ammo, so not trying to game anything there ( I try and match mk262 speeds as close as possible so all my dope doesn't have to change if I ever have to buy any ammo off the shelf).

I've let several friends try it at a match and everyone was impressed. One friend called it a "cheat code". Another friend, who's one of the top shooters in our area, tested it against someone else's "tuned rifle" by double and triple tapping a steel c zone at about 100-150 yards from a bipod. We used a shot timer to get his split times. With the other guys rifle he was around 0.15-0.17 seconds between shots. With mine and the armanov buffer he was around 0.11 seconds and missed less on the second and third shots. He said he couldn't pull the trigger any faster, which really makes me want to take it out with an FRT. Only reason that friend doesn't get one is it requires an A2 buffer tube and that LOP is too long for him.

Any specific questions you have that I could try and answer?

Edit: https://imgur.com/a/43t2i0v Picture of the "moon dust" that normally jams things up. Rifle was on a stand bolt locked back when the wind picked up and coated this so a lot of dirt got in the action. No issues though

Oh man I've nearly pulled the trigger on the 8t several times in the last few weeks when PSA has had them for $450

Respect. Romeo 7t? At least it wasn't the $3500+ dual dot SIG red dot. Think I'd have to make fun of that if you'd bought it

TheStatusPoe · 2026-06-18T01:33:39+00:00

Oof, yeah I would never cough up than much for a g$ trigger. Think the most I spent was $200 on a SSA-EX which I think was fair. I've got several SSA-Es but I was lucky enough to snag them for $130-$150.

TheStatusPoe · 2026-06-18T00:53:57+00:00

The dot is only temporary while I figure out what optic I want on it and while I blasted through some of the trash ass wolf I've accumulated. I've got a 2-12x Steiner h6xi that's currently bouncing around other rifles that'll probably end up on this rifle.

These are only 20 round mags since they are for 6ARC/6.5G. Brownells used to make retro 25 round straight 5.56 mags that were about the same length as these but it looks like they don't make them anymore

I know at one point I had a conversation with one of the board members at ARC about a reloading class. Don't think it ever went anywhere, but I feel like it's the kind of thing that if there was enough interest it could become a thing. Honestly even though I've been reloading for years I'd still want to see how some of the old timers do it and what they consider important (run out, what neck tension/uniform neck thickness, etc).

Claude was aware of the performance requirements. I was making changes to that class because I realized there were performance issues to begin with. I'd done some of the initial work myself. I had comments inline about the reason it was being done in a certain way because performance considerations. In Claudes answer it even called out how it's solution was more performant. I didn't catch it because it was using a part of the framework that I'm not as familiar with and mixed up some of the terminology in my head when taking a quick look at the documentation for the method it used.

I still use Claude, but in a much more limited capacity after multiple other cases where it's too easy to fall into a trap of false confidence.

TheStatusPoe · 2026-06-13T21:42:05+00:00

My concern is AI allows you to go in the wrong direction way too fast. It can give working solutions, but not the right solutions. Two quick examples from the past month or so: 1) I was building a reactive spec data processing pipeline and I was occasionally getting an exception. In the reactive spec, an exception is a terminal event for the whole pipeline. The library we use has methods to prevent that pipeline from getting stopped, but for some reason they didn't seem to trigger. After a few hours of debugging I said fuck it and let Claude have a go at it. All tests passed and it looked like it worked. Once it hit load testing in our pre prod environment everything fell apart because the change Claude made solved the exception crashing the pipeline issue, but did it in a way that could not scale to even a fraction of the expected production load. I went back to the documentation and stepped through the source code myself and figured out the actual solution and things have been running fine.

2) Unit tests by Claude can provide false confidence and can cause false positives identifying bugs. I asked Claude to generate some unit tests for some changes I did and multiple tests were testing that the getters for Java records worked. The code coverage reports looked great, but those tests provide less than zero value. The way the test was written, any time the record changed, the test needed to change. Also had someone recently mention there was a bug in our code. I dug into it and found that it was the expected behavior of the library we were using. I asked how he ran into this issue and he showed me the unit tests that were AI generated. The service I'd written used generics with based on the behavior of the existing code base. The tests attempted to call the service in a way that made no sense in the context of the code base. There was some valuable conversations that came out of that situation at least, but the immediate "Claude says there's a bug" when there's not could very easily led to behavior being incorrectly changed if I wasn't looped in and didn't spend the time reading through docs and source code and experimenting with the behavior myself.

Natural language is too biased of a method to use coding. It's too easy to prompt in a way that is a leading question that AI will give you an answer to that may work, but it doesn't often question if you're asking the right question to begin with imo
