Reddit trending → Claude 1-line take

Public Reddit JSON + claude -p — no quoting hell, no SDK, no Python. The most useful 'morning briefing' one-liner.

$ curl -s -A "oneliner101/1.0" \
     "https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/top.json?limit=25&t=day" \
  | jq -r '.data.children[].data | "- [\(.score)] \(.title)"' \
  | claude -p \
      "Three bullets: dominant theme, surprising claim, sentiment. No preamble."

1. [01] curlcurl -s -A "oneliner101/1.0" …
   Reddit JSON with custom UA (mandatory).
2. [02] jqjq -r '.data.children[].data | …'
   Flatten to one '[score] title' line per post — tight prompt input.
3. [03] claudeclaude -p "Three bullets …"
   -p = headless print mode. Reads stdin as additional context; the prompt is the flag.

- Theme: agentic RAG with hybrid retrieval (BM25 + dense + rerankers) is the dominant frame.
- Surprising: a working paper claims vanilla vector search is now the worst-performing retriever on long-context benchmarks.
- Sentiment: builder-skeptical — community is tired of demoware, hungry for evals.

• Do NOT add `--bare` unless you have ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. `--bare` ignores OAuth and demands the key.
• For very fast batches, swap `claude` for `llm -m groq-…` (300+ tok/s on Llama 3.3 70B).
