Running Multiple Instances of an Aspire AppHost Without Port Conflicts Aspire 13.2 introduces isolated mode, letting you run multiple instances of the same AppHost in parallel without port conflicts.

Git worktrees are the new hotness now that agents can work on parallel instances of your codebase. What they don’t solve is the port conflict problem, that’s where aspire run/start —isolated comes!

He is fun to just listen to talk about history and design decisions. Some of the best podcasts he has done just get him talking and let him have 5 minutes interrupted.

OpenAI Whisper and Apple’s “say” command are easy to run locally for free on cheap hardware and do an amazing job at audio to text and text to audio.

Some Things Just Take Time On friction, patience, and planting trees.

“If someone 50 years ago planted a row of oaks or a chestnut tree on your plot of land, you have something that no amount of money or effort can replicate. The only way is to wait.” lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/3/20/so...

She is great. Highly recommend the other lady historian he just had on. Really interesting viewpoints on Leonardo and the printing press too.

Sounds like a very old demo.

It’s almost more amazing we can’t do it yet.

Not your fault but if a certain trillion dollar company didn’t kill their mobile 😤

What counts as a taco and a beer?

If tiny street tacos and light beer count, I think a lot of people could do this by noon.

The days are long and the years are short.

Really hard to estimate ten years out. Especially since tech keeps scaling & improving much faster every decade over the past few hundred years.

Digital AI will be fast. Physical maybe not so but that’s what scares me more.

Have you been able to get consistent results? For example I have an automated task that pulls in data daily from sources and summarizes it in a specific format.

Getting consistent results is harder than expected. One week they look great, next week they’re vey different. I need to try a local model

Currently building a podcast assistant to transcribe and send me daily summaries.

Loving how this is upping my podcast game.

OpenAI’s whisper tool is awesome and runs great on a cheap computer.

Bloomberg Terminal design team has written about their very slow, purposeful approach to updates. Apple could learn something.

I can’t get AI to do well on recent less popular tech like .net aspire.

It’s great if you want to spin up a React, Python or even plain dotnet site but anytime you add a less known thing it eats up a lot of context to teach it.

Thank you @richcampbell.bsky.social @dotnetrocks.bsky.social for one of my favorite reoccurring Christmas presents I look forward to each year. Can’t wait for the energy one! Still hoping to see them become their own thing someday.

Does that mean you’ve been fortunate enough to have great teammates most of your career & have been able to avoid the bad apples?

China and Microsoft have both experimented with ocean data centers which seem more reasonable.

Do you have better luck with files like that format vs simple markdown collections of code samples?

I personally lean towards examples that show code patterns, especially when using newer or less popular things

I’m confused. I thought he said this was his last year and he wanted to be on a team that had a shot. Steelers look like a long shot to make the playoffs.

Windows Explorer is once again telling me it’s time for lunch while it thinks for a long time or just eventually crashes. We will see which happens first today.

Opinion | I’m a Marine Biologist. This Is How I Talk to Whales.

Mind-blowingly cool use of AI
“Altogether, these findings are leading us to an extraordinary conclusion: Whales may possess a communication system more intricate than our own, one that possibly predates human language by tens of millions of years.”

Idk if either would have done great behind this year’s injury prone offensive line.

I believe both of them have had healthy lines.

I’m really glad to see the Vikings spend money on an offensive line for once. A shame they were all injured.
