dboles99··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (November 2026)
Location: Henderson, NV, USA and Thailand (US citizen) Remote: Yes, strongly preferred Willing to relocate: Asia and Europe, yes. US/Canada hybrid for the right package Technologies: Python, LLM APIs (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini), structured prompts and outputs, YAML/JSON pipelines, coding agents (Claude Code, Codex), Azure, PowerShell, GitHub Actions, Git, Linux; security: DNS/SPF/DKIM/DMARC, NIST/OWASP, IAM basics Resume: https://daniel-boles-portfolio.daniel-boles.chatgpt.site/cv.... GitHub: https://github.com/dboles99 Site: https://daniel-boles-portfolio.daniel-boles.chatgpt.site/ Email: daniel.boles@gmail.com

AI application developer and technical PM. I've run production editing and translation at Uni-edit for 14 years and for the last several I've also built the LLM pipelines it runs on, Python with the OpenAI, Claude and Gemini APIs, plus the spend and uptime monitoring around them, because a pipeline isn't finished until its costs are boring. I orchestrate coding agents most days and I'd rather automate a review step than staff it, mostly because I've been the review step. M.S. in Cybersecurity finishes this November. Looking for AI dev, technical PM or security automation work, start-ups especially.

dboles99··on Ask HK: Resume writing/editing services: Which one do you suggest?
academicediting.us or editing@academicediting.us

Just email them your paper and they'll get you back a quotation pretty quick.

I asked them to do mine and they did a great job, its an academic editing company, but they did a really good job on mine.

dboles99··on Ask HN: Just curious, how prevalent is the use of nootropics‎ among HN members?
I should note that I am over 40 and overweight but am losing weight on a fairly regular basis. My goal is within another 2 years to drop down to a manageable weight and hopefully reduce my intake of metformin altogether. High-blood pressure runs in my family, so I think its unlikely if I lose a lot of weight, that my use of high-blood pressure control medications will abate.

I start every morning as follows: 1. 2 800mg Nootropils 2. 1.5 Wakalert Tablets 3. My diet pills from the doctor here in Thailand 4. 1 Herbessar for my high-blood pressure

Wash it down with a cup of coffee.

Then an hour or two later, I start drinking iced green tea with no sugar and eat a breakfast with carbs, then I take: 1. 1 Hyzaar pill for my high-blood pressure 2. 1 Prenolol for my highblood pressure 3. 1 Metformin of my diabetes

Then, I have a yoghurt.

I sometimes have a snack of whole wheat crackers and hummus

Then, I eat dinner that is 2/3 veggies and 1/3 meat

My sleeping and work schedule are as follows: 1. I wake up between 10am and Noon each day 2. I go to sleep between 2am and 4 am every day 3. My workday starts between 11am and Noon 4. I take a break from 4pm/ 5pm to 8pm/9pm each day 5. During my break, I hang out with my kid, watch TV, read books, write, do strategic thinking for my businesses/ jobs, eat dinner, and take a walk. 5. My second shift starts 8pm/9pm to Midnight/1am 6. Then I read, play games, watch tv, etc... until I go to sleep

Then before I sleep, I take the following: 1. 1 Metformin 2. My nighttime diet pills

I work 7 days a week between 6 and 10 hours a day, mostly around 7 hours.

Nootropics are just a small part, but I consider them a very important part. Since, I do lots of academic editing, I find the quality is much higher under the influence of nootropics then not. But, my use of nootropics integrates them into my lifestyle.

dboles99··on Ask HN: How would you design the best Cloud Computing company ever?
I've been using this service as a beta user and they just went to pay service but have a free tier of some sort. Anyways, I've been very impressed with the speed and ease of use. I use cloud computing for various marketing activities and do not develop software. ANyways, these ARM based servers are nice.

I believe they are a French company.

dboles99··on Ask HN: Do you need money?
Hi! I saw your post and I think its interesting; however, I don't seem of your criteria as follows: 1. I've prototype and I'm in the process of setting up the website to start getting beta customers; 2. I'm not in the bay area. 3. I feel its a real problem and a potentially big market. Its not a photo sharing app at all. 4. This is the most interesting criteria.

If you are okay about not meeting the first and second criteria, then I'm willing to share a bit more with you.

dboles99··on Ask HN: Best translation services
Try www.uni-edit.net for English to Chinese and Japanese translations. They are an academic editing and translation company, but I had them do some translation work for me and it was awesome. They only use human translation and don't use machine translation, so you get a much better quality that reads like native speakers of Chinese and Japanese with backgrounds in marketing wrote your website.
dboles99··on Ask HN: I have a Japanese friend who speaks/writes fluent English and...
Ask her to go to: http://www.uni-edit.net/usa/employment. We are always looking for talented Japanese to English translators, especially if they work in technical fields like engineering, computer science, medicine, etc...

I began to notice this when I was hiring writers and editors in Taiwan... At first, I was thinking that maybe since I was abroad I was getting a limited cross-section of those interested in working in Taiwan. But, as time went on and I began to hire others from other regions to work from where ever they were, I noticed the same trend.

SEEKING WORK Hi! I'm Daniel Boles. I'm an American largely based in Asia with over 10 years experience in business. I have an MBA, but more importantly I'm a problem solver and that seeks out of the box solutions to grow your business to achieve your dreams. When many people look to consultants they are usually looking for someone to help them grow their business as a means to an end. They want to move away from trading time for money and instead want to develop their business in such a way that they have a lifestyle as well as a business. I can help you achieve this. I can't make any promises, but I can assure you of professionalism, problem solving, and a clear focus on your goals. So, if this interests you, let me know and lets see what we can do.
