• Show HN: I tried making YouTube safer for my kids

  Minitube is pretty great, and uses MPV (and therefore yt-dlp) behind the scenes. It has filters that are really neat, and is very minimalistic. I personally use it, too, to avoid distracting myself and to actively search for everything I consume. [1] https://flavio.tordini.org/minitube. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Block YouTube Ads on AppleTV by Decrypting and Stripping Ads from Profobuf

  I can recommend "minitube" [1]. It's super minimalistic, and requires you to actively search for things to find them. No ads, no feeds, no short videos, nothing - just playlists for search terms. Uses yt-dlp and mpv behind the scenes, so it's using less than 5% CPU on my small Intel NUC machine, too. I can't stress enough how it is soooo much better in terms of what type of content I consume now.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• YouTube confirms that it has removed the “sort by oldest/newest” option

  In regards to alternative Youtube clients. Not sure if it fits your requirements but I've used MiniTube which is pretty decent: https://flavio.tordini.org/minitube. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Don't watermark your legal PDFs with purple dragons in suits

  The coked-up AI cartoon dragon attorney. His website, which also features the purple dragon and a bunch of busted links in the footer, says that the firm "integrates AI to lower the cost of legal services." Hopefully this lawyer is making sure this AI isn't making up the cases it's citing, which is a continuing problem: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ai+make+up+legal+cases. - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

• Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders

  That is not a definitive result. Repairing older cars to meet minimum standards is possible. They also could introduce things gradually and grandfather older vehicles into the previous lack of standards, which is what NY did.

• Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders

  It does make sense. See the 85th percentile speed: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=85th+percentile+speed Setting the limit at the 85th percentile and having most drivers drive at it creates uniformity of speed, which is known to increase safety. - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• Mesmerizing Interlocking Geometric Patterns Produced with Japanese Woodworking

  Reminds me of Islamic Mashrabiya screens. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Mashrabiya&ia=images&iax=images Historically, the screens were quite simple, with more complex patterns rendered in ceramic tilings (symmetry groups, colorings, knots and intertwinings). Now there are good modern screens with more innovative patterns, made with computer-controlled laser cutters. In a quick search for Kumiko examples, I very... - Source: Hacker News / 16 days ago

• NSF director to resign amid grant terminations, job cuts, and controversy

  Https://archive.org/details/resignationinpro00weis From an Amazon review comment: "This book offers an insightful analysis into the history and norms involved in the tradition of resignation in the U.S. And the U.K. Why do the British tend to resign loudly in protest and Americans resign “to spend more time with family” while praising their president? How do these norms benefit and harm their respective systems?... - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago
