How do you watch YouTube on your computer?

Hacker News - Sat, 03/15/2025 - 4:20am

I used to watch youtube via chrome with a couple of extensions (adblock, unhook, clickbait remover), but adblock now seems to be hit and miss so it's a pretty poor experience.

I get if I was on android I could just use newpipe or something, but is there a browser-based equivalent I can use on my PC(I'm typically on a work computer (win11) & don't have local admin)?

Ask HN: Interest in a pgvector-based RAG system library?

Hacker News - Sat, 03/15/2025 - 4:06am

I built a RAG system using pgvector as the backend for local-first vector search. I've already extracted and open-sourced the text extraction component as Kreuzberg (https://github.com/Goldziher/kreuzberg), separate from my main business (https://grantflow.ai).

The core system is fairly generic and could work for many use cases with minimal changes. Before investing time in packaging it as a library, I'm curious:

- Would the HN community find value in a pgvector-based RAG library? - What features would be most important to you? - What belongs in open source vs. commercial offerings? - What common pitfalls should be avoided?

I'd like to gauge if there's actual interest before publishing something nobody will use. So your Feedbacks are most welcome!

Ask HN: Elegant three-state 'Dark mode' toggle, how best to implement?

Hacker News - Sat, 03/15/2025 - 4:01am

Anyone implemented a nice three-state dark mode toggle? Love to hear your tips, ideas and even links to examples/code are welcome.

This feature is more involved that first look as this HN post unpacks.. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23197966

My current wishlist:

- Three states (system/light/dark) - Preference stored for next time - Two icons light/dark (click selected icon a second time to 'turn it off' and return to system) - Vanilla JS/CSS/HTML - Leans into CSS

This implementation comes pretty close. https://www.bram.us/2020/04/26/the-quest-for-the-perfect-dark-mode-using-vanilla-javascript

This post points to a bunch of great three-state dark mode articles in its references. https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2024/01/its-tri-state-switch-time

Sidenote: I found some discussion towards a w3c web preferences API to make this easier but this is far from ready or resolved.
