Antitrust, green cards, tariffs? Seems like some big changes are imminent.

There are noises being made about increasing tariffs and 2TB in cuts to government spending. The results of the Smoot-Hawley tariffs deepening the Great Depression, and that Musk has admitted that estimates that the spending cuts will lead to "severe overcorrection in the economy" and "markets will tumble".

I'm planning to get out in front of this and cut my personal spending and start building up some liquid assets to ride out a potential economy weirdness (which many have been predicting for well over a year now). Worst case I've built up some savings (most of my money is tied up in retirement plans that I can't pull money from).

I'm also thinking about finally implementing some of the plans I've had for the better part of a decade of getting ~100gal of water storage, but there's nothing I see being necessarily any worse over the next year, it just seems prudent.

Thoughts on the above? Any plans people are taking or have taken to improve their posture?

Hey HN,

As an avid reader, I read many nonfiction books every year. While enjoyable, I find that nonfiction books usually contain a lot of information that is not relevant or helpful for me.

That's why I decided to build TailoredRead (https://tailoredread.com/). It’s a tool that uses AI to write full-length books that are tailored specifically to the reader.

Here’s how it works:

1. You answer a few questions: book subject, key topics, your background, your goals

2. The AI generates the book outline - title, description, chapters and subchapters, key insights, etc. I found that Claude 3.5 Sonnet produces great results here, but I want to give GPT o1 a try as well.

3. Our backend starts a worker that orchestrates the creation of the book. This typically takes 5-10 minutes, and you can start reading the book as it’s being written. Here I found that Claude 3.5 Sonnet produces significantly better output than GPT 4o and other models, but it still requires a lot of prompting and breaking down the book into smaller chunks.

4. We run a dedicated worker to create the book branding and cover with Claude, DALL-E, and some CSS.

5. The book is created and formatted in a semantic HTML format, which is then displayed in a book-alike paginated interface, similar to Kindle (React/Next). You can also download the book as a PDF or send it to your Kindle device.

So far, I've seen early users create fascinating books about a diverse set of subjects, e.g. programming, business, science, history, travel, hobbies, etc. There are 100+ free book samples from our early users here: https://tailoredread.com/books

I'd love to hear your feedback about TailoredRead and answer any questions you may have!
