Well, this is so sad. I listen to 2 or 3 podcasts regularly, and WTF is the most important to me, mainly because of Maron's point of view on comedy, politics, and life.
The interviews are hit and miss for me, but his openers always make me feel seen. And he's a cat guy!

Marc Maron Will End WTF After 16 Years
Marc Maron plans to end his podcast, ‘WTF,’ after 16 years, he announced on his Monday, June 2, episode with John Mulaney.

Generalized Lotka-Volterra systems with quenched random interactions and saturating functional response
The generalized Lotka-Volterra (GLV) equations with quenched random interactions have been extensively used to investigate the stability and dynamics of complex ecosystems. However, the standard linear interaction model suffers from pathological unbounded growth, especially under strong cooperation or heterogeneity. This work addresses that limitation by introducing a Monod-type saturating functional response into the GLV framework. Using Dynamical Mean Field Theory, we derive analytical expres…

Anticipated backward stochastic Volterra integral equations and their applications to nonzero-sum stochastic differential games
In [J. Wen, Y. Shi, Stat. Probab. Lett. 156 (2020) 108599] the authors first introduced a kind of anticipated backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (anticipated BSVIEs, for short). By virtue of the duality principle, it is found in this paper that the anticipated BSVIEs can be applied to the study of stochastic differential games. For this, in this paper we deeply investigate a more general class of anticipated BSVIEs whose generator includes both pointwise time-advanced functions and…

On my walk today, there was a sign. (I wasn’t chasing the vultures, the sidewalk is just tiny)

Lotka-Volterra-type kinetic equations for interacting species
In this work, we examine a kinetic framework for modeling the time evolution of size distribution densities of two populations governed by predator-prey interactions. The model builds upon the classical Boltzmann-type equations, where the dynamics arise from elementary binary interactions between the populations. The model uniquely incorporates a linear redistribution operator to quantify the birth rates in both populations, inspired by wealth redistribution operators. We prove that, under a su…

Humming birds are big this year!

Eu comentando num grupo "Caramba, o Flamengo estš ganhando de 5 a 0! E eu estava trabalhando aqui, nem lembrei que tinha jogo hoje."
A resposta do meu amigo: "Jš acabou. Mas agora que vc descobriu, o Juiz vai mandar voltar a bola pra um terceiro tempo e o Fortaleza vai virar pra 6 a 5!"
Sim, é esse o nível da minha fama de pé-frio rs.

A RTP foi entrevistar um par de betinhas que vão agora estudar para os EUA e estão assustadas com as trumpices. Uma betinha, que vai estudar gestão para Boston porque depois tem de voltar para Portugal e subir a pulso e por mérito na empresa do papš, levou a mãe a ser também entrevistada, a qual diz que ela achou Boston uma cidade muito "comuspolita". 🤪

During Trump 1.0, esp. in the aftermath of Cambridge Analytica, people demonstrated significant concerns about our data privacy. Consider how Apple & Google deployed Covid Exposure Notifs to be data protecting. During Trump 2.0, we’re witnessing an all-out destruction of our data privacy under Musk & RFK Jr as intentionally decentralized databases are illegally consolidated/appended/blended and feasted upon by crony silicon vulture backed govt contractors.
