He's rude, yet I like to hang out with him.
He's rude, (and still) I like to hang out with him.
"But" and "yet" have almost identical meanings, but you'll hear "but" used more often. I would think that the two are interchangeable as well.

They are very similar. I think there's sometimes a slight difference in the way they are used.
"I am not good at history, yet I got the highest score in the class."
In this case, "yet" has the same meaning as "even though".
"Even though I am not good at history, I (still) got the highest score in the class."
"I am not good at history, but I got the highest score in the class" is also correct, but it doesn't have the nuance of "even though".
Does that make sense?

@nebulahime14, I would translate the second sentence as:
Even though he's rude, I (still) like to hang out with him.
I think this better displays the "even though" nuance of "yet".
