Youssef here from Wondercraft! We're sorry for the almost one year hiatus we took from HNR, but we're bringing it back. It's still the same exact format as previously but the tech we're using has gotten a lot more advanced. Let us know how you want the format to evolve and we'll work on it!

You know, I wondered why they started every show with, "Here is a script that sounds like a recap of the top ten posts on a website called Hacker News for the week of date.exe +"%Y-%m-%d".

The show is AI generated in content and voice. Their first few posts were flagged, not sure why they keep posting it.
