For those who like satire that cuts deep and draws blood, and you tend to roll your eyes at anything governments attempt to 'fix', and maybe harbour some grudges against a certain rogue superpower, this film is for you.
Odd then, how, when it first opened, it was played once only, in only one theatre in only one small city in all of southern Ontario.
You don't suppose perhaps some folks somewheres took offence? Nah…
Well, we will try again. More folks may have caught on by now. Opens Aug 13 at Scotiabank Theatre

How was your evening?
Mine was an hour playing tennis, followed by what I initially thought was a fast, rogue tennis ball hitting my calf mid-game, then deciding It was a really bad cramp that wasn't going away (ouch), and then the rest of the evening in A&E (where I still am) hoping it's just a torn muscle. It hurts, quite a bit.
Won't be playing tennis for a while I suspect.

Bit of a post-Andor Star Wars kick. In the last couple of days I've rewatched Rogue One, and completed the main heist from Star Wars Outlaws.

Rogue waves collision under incident momentum modulation in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates
The collision dynamics of two first-order rogue waves (RWs) with opposite incident momentum in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) is studied by solving the two-component one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation. It is demonstrated that the introduction of appropriate incident momentum successfully promotes the generation of second-order RWs in the case of relatively weaker interspecies interactions compared to intraspecific interactions. The range of incident momentum that can…

Star Wars Andor was great!! I wish there was more of it, but I also wouldn't want to wait years more for the story to complete. So great how it matches up to the Rogue One movie!

Renegade Transit Activists Install their Own ‘Guerilla Benches’ at SF Bus Stops That Don’t Have Benches
A rogue group of activists won’t stand for the lack of benches at many SF Muni stops, so they went and installed a bunch of their own unauthorized benches this past weekend. But we’ll see how this sits with SF Public Works.

"... the downloaded profile can be potentially modified in such a way, so that the operator loses control over the profile (no ability for remote control / no ability to disable / invalidate it, etc.), the operator can be provided with a completely false view of the profile state (the result of its remote management ops in particular) or all of its activity can be subject to monitoring (vide rogue apps mimicking / proxying behavior of real ones)"

RoboCop: Rogue City (Multiplatform, XPd on a Linux PC via Steam)
In an original story set between the 2nd and 3rd movies of the OG series, take on the role of RoboCop and end a crime wave by taking down the "New Guy" in town. TL;DR: Robo fan? Play this.
So right off the bat, this is not a AAA game. There's definitely rough edges here. But that's OK with me, as the things it does do right it does quite well.

The price of copper surged today after the rogue America president said he’s imposing a 50% tax on imports of the metal.
Canada supplies a third of all the copper imported into the States, in a flash, Trump’s Treasury will collect close to $2.5 billion in annual tariffs on Canadian copper – unless the new taxes gut our industry.

"We can't verify that the DNS root servers are running the code they say they are nor trust that the root zone won't be manipulated by a rogue U.S. administration. Therefore, we need [something completely different]."
DNS is a convenient example, but substitute almost any widely deployed subsystem or tech of your choice.
I find these sorts of hand wavy, shallow 240-character arguments to be as easily dismissed as they are so often made.

ARGOS: Anomaly Recognition and Guarding through O-RAN Sensing
Rogue Base Station (RBS) attacks, particularly those exploiting downgrade vulnerabilities, remain a persistent threat as 5G Standalone (SA) deployments are still limited and User Equipment (UE) manufacturers continue to support legacy network connectivity. This work introduces ARGOS, a comprehensive O-RAN compliant Intrusion Detection System (IDS) deployed within the Near Real-Time RIC, designed to detect RBS downgrade attacks in real time, an area previously unexplored within the O-RAN context…

Model-free Forecasting of Rogue Waves using Reservoir Computing
Recent research has demonstrated Reservoir Computing's capability to model various chaotic dynamical systems, yet its application to Hamiltonian systems remains relatively unexplored. This paper investigates the effectiveness of Reservoir Computing in capturing rogue wave dynamics from the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, a challenging Hamiltonian system with modulation instability. The model-free approach learns from breather simulations with five unstable modes. A properly tuned parallel Echo…

Generative Lagrangian data assimilation for ocean dynamics under extreme sparsity
Reconstructing ocean dynamics from observational data is fundamentally limited by the sparse, irregular, and Lagrangian nature of spatial sampling, particularly in subsurface and remote regions. This sparsity poses significant challenges for forecasting key phenomena such as eddy shedding and rogue waves. Traditional data assimilation methods and deep learning models often struggle to recover mesoscale turbulence under such constraints. We leverage a deep learning framework that combines neural…

Where are all the dark galaxies? Predicting galaxy/halo locations from their bright neighbors
Astronomical objects in our universe that are too faint to be directly detectable exist and are important - an obvious example being dark matter. The same can also apply to very faint baryonic objects, such as low luminosity dwarf galaxies and gravitationally compact objects (e.g., rogue planets, white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, dark sirens). While they are very difficult to observe directly, they have locations that are highly important when studying astrophysical phenomena. Here, we …

Approximate Peregrine Solitons in Dispersive Nonlinear Wave Equations
The purpose of this short note is to explain how the existing results on the validity of the NLS approximation can be extended from Sobolev spaces $H^s(\mathbb{R})$ to the spaces of functions $u = v + w$ where $v \in H_{per}^s$ and $w \in H^s(\mathbb{R})$. This allows us to use the Peregrine solution of the NLS equation to find freak or rogue wave dynamics in more complicated systems.

GBDT with nontrivial seeds: explicit solutions of the focusing NLS equations and the corresponding Weyl functions
Our GBDT (generalised Bäcklund-Darboux transformation) approach is used to construct explicit solutions of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation in the case of the exponential seed $a \exp\{2 i (cx +dt)\}$. The corresponding Baker-Akhiezer functions and evolution of the Weyl functions are obtained as well. In particular, the solutions, which appear in the study of rogue waves, step-like solutions and $N$-modulation solutions of the NLS equation are considered. This work is an esse…

Soliton Synchronization with Randomness: Rogue Waves and Universality
We consider an $N$-soliton solution of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations. We give conditions for the synchronous collision of these $N$ solitons. When the solitons velocities are well separated and the solitons have equal amplitude, we show that the local wave profile at the collision point scales as the $\operatorname{sinc}(x)$ function. We show that this behaviour persists when the amplitudes of the solitons are i.i.d. sub-exponential random variables. Namely the central collision…
