Looks like they're using Yoti for identity verification, which just got fined $1 mil for biometric data protection violations.

taikon··on MicroVMs: Run isolated sandboxes with full lifecycle control
Since no one answered, I looked into it. Firecracker you have to provision yourself whereas microVMs are server less and AWS manages all the infra.
taikon··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
Sorry for the late reply. By far the hardest was design for manufacturing!

taikon··on Project Hail Mary – Stellar Navigation Chart
How many 3D bodies are there? I'm curious because it renders really fast even on a relatively old mobile phone.
taikon··on Show HN: TikTok but for scientific papers
I'm unsure that the tiktok model works because it's designed around fast, easy to consume content, whereas scientific papers require sitting down and really digesting the material. It's much easier to read dense text on a desktop/tablet over mobile. The times where I read arxiv on mobile, it's really just the abstract. If you summarize each abstract into concise bullet points that might be quite useful.
taikon··on Ask HN: Any examples of useful AI agents?
Oh that's interesting. Almost like a project planner kind of thing?

I actually only recently tried Claude Code. I didn't realize it was such a big thing now. I also find the signal to noise ratio is really low when it comes to AI hype.

taikon··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)
I'm a doctor who built a concave split ergonomic keyboard I'm launching June 2nd. DFM is finally done so everything is ready for injection molding. Plan is to do a clinical study on it afterwards and turn it into a medical device for wrist pain treatment. Have iterated on different variations of it over a few years with over 120 users before arriving at this.

If you've seen Kinesis Advantage, it's similar but with a smaller more compact size. It also has a thumb cluster that's not as hard to reach because of its downward angle (uses thumb abduction instead of thumb extension, which puts you into a more ergonomic handshake position). The layer keys are also offset at a lower height so you won't accidentally hit it. It's QMK compatible and hotswappable.

taikon··on Health NZ staff told to stop using ChatGPT to write clinical notes
It's honestly such a big problem. One of my colleagues uses an AI scribe. I can't rely on any of his chart notes because the AI sometimes hallucinates (I've already informed him). It also tends to write a ridiculous amount of detail that are totally unnecessary and leave out important details such that I still need to comb through patient charts for (med rec, consults, etc). In the end it ends up creating more work for me. And if my colleague ever gets a college complaint I have no clue how he's gonna navigate any AI generated errors. I'm all for AI and it's great for things like copywriting, brainstorming and code generation. But from what I'm seeing, it's creating a lot more headache in the clinical setting.

If you're why doesn't this guy just check the AI scribe notes? Well, probably because with the amount of detail it writes, he'd be better off writing a quick soap note.

taikon··on TikTok will not introduce end-to-end encryption, saying it makes users less safe
Definitely makes it easier for parents. It also normalizes screen time limits for kids. When none of your kids' friends have screen time limits, it's harder to enforce. When at least there's a few of them, it's easier to get buy-in from your kids.

I personally use an Evoluent vertical mouse. I've noticed some users use navigation software (such as mouseless, vimium/vimium C, vim-mode vscode).
taikon··on A beginner's guide to split keyboards
Shameless plug but I'm a doctor who made an ergonomic split keyboard called the TAIKO-01 (https://taiko.taikohub.com).

It's split in two so you can position them at shoulder width. It's angled so your wrists are in more natural positioning (reduced pronation), and curved to prevent finger overstretching (finger joints have arc-shaped range of motion). It's injection molded and hot-swappable.

I've been working on this since 2022 and am getting close to launch. It's gotten very good feedback from beta testers.

taikon··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)
Oh shoot thanks for letting me know! I just pushed that update this weekend. I'll auto-confirm anyone who signs up until I fix it later tonight. I've put you on the waitlist.
taikon··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)
https://taiko.taikohub.com - Working on the TAIKO-01, a split concave ergonomic keyboard.

I'm an physician who previously had wrist tendinosis and carpal tunnel and made the keyboard for myself. I'm trying to get the keyboard registered as a medical device for treatment of hand/wrist repetitive strain injury. Currently getting design for manufacturing finalized, and waiting on injection mold prototypes. Hoping to launch on Kickstarter in the next few months.

Also concurrently waiting on ethics approval for a clinical study, which will happen after launch. We had quite promising results from user testing, so I'm cautiously optimistic about the study.

taikon··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (Jan 2026)
I'm making a concave split ergonomic keyboard that we plan to run a clinical trial on for hand/wrist RSI. Was originally planning on releasing it in Jan but it's getting delayed until sometime in March. Concurrently waiting on ethics board approval to run a preclinical trail for when it's ready.
