‘Naked Singularity,’ Thriller With John Boyega, Sells to …
Posted: June 4, 2021 at 4:08 pm
Screen Media has nabbed all North American rights to Naked Singularity, a heist thriller with John Boyega and Olivia Cooke. The film marks the feature directing debut of Chase Palmer, best known for co-writing the screenplay for It, the 2017 horror blockbuster.
Bill Skarsgrd, who played Pennywise in that film, co-stars in the movie along with Ed Skrein, Linda Lavin and Tim Blake Nelson.
Heres the official logline: Naked Singularity centers on Casi (John Boyega), a promising young NYC public defender whose idealism is beginning to crack under the daily injustices of the very justice system hes trying to make right. Doubting all he has worked for and seeing signs of the universe collapsing all around him, he is pulled into a dangerous high-stakes drug heist by an unpredictable former client (Olivia Cooke) in an effort to beat the broken system at its own game.
The screenplay was adapted by Palmer and David Matthews from the PEN-prize winning book, A Naked Singularity, which was written by public defender Sergio De La Pava. The film recently premiered in the opening night slot at the San Francisco Film Festival, where it won the audience award for Best Narrative Film. Screen Media will release the film theatrically in August.
I cant be more excited that well be getting this film, anchored by John Boyegas wonderful performance, in front of audiences this summer, said Palmer. Screen Medias passion for Naked Singularity was loud and clear from the start and I know we will be in good hands.
Naked Singularity is produced by Tony Ganz, Kevin J. Walsh, Ryan Stowell, P. Jennifer Dana and Ross Jacobson, and executive produced by Ridley Scott, Dick Wolf, Sebastien Raybaud, Francois Callens, John Zois, Mark Roberts, Tony Pachella, Deborah Roth, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. Anton is a co-financier of the film and represents the foreign sales rights.
We are very excited that Screen Media will be bringing Naked Singularity to theaters, said Cecile Gaget, president of international production and distribution at Anton. For a long time, they have distributed unique titles, particularly over the last couple of years. We feel that Naked Singularity is right at home with the great team of Screen Media.
The deal was negotiated by Seth Needle, SVP of global acquisitions and co-productions, on behalf of Screen Media with Endeavor Content representing the filmmakers.
Naked Singularity is the perfect movie for this moment, said Screen Media in a statement. Were excited to bring this unique, thought-provoking legal thriller to audiences nationwide this summer.
Screen Media has been active on the acquisitions front, nabbing the Megan Fox thriller Till Death and Jimmy Giannopolouss mob crime drama The Birthday Cake starring Shiloh Fernandez. The company recently released Willys Wonderland with Nicolas Cage and the acclaimed military drama The Outpost.

Posted: at 4:08 pm
Singularity is a biotic talent in Mass Effect. This gravitational power sucks multiple enemies within a radius to a single area, leaving them floating helplessly and vulnerable to attack. It can also attract objects from the environment, such as crates or pieces of furniture; enemies will take damage if they collide with other solid objects in the Singularity field.
These classes have access to the Singularity talent:
Singularity is a biotic power in Mass Effect 2.
The power launches a dark energy sphere to create an intense mass effect field. The field creates a warp in the space around it, creating a gravity well akin to a black hole. Enemies are drawn into the Singularity and held briefly helpless in orbit while protected enemies are held in place. The singularity will drain any shields, armor, or biotic barriers of enemies over time. Unlike singularity in Mass Effect, any enemy wandering into the gravity well of a singularity after it has been created will also be pulled into orbit.
Note: This power travels in the direction of the cross-hair, arcing towards the target. Upon impact, it will create the Singularity. Liara's Singularity travels in a straight line, instantly creating a singularity at the targeted location.
Rank 4
Choose to evolve the power into one of the following,

Singularity 6 reveals friendly MMO community sim Palia as …
Posted: at 4:08 pm
Singularity 6 is a new game developer made up of industry veterans from some of the most well-known names in the business. The team can boast former employers such as Blizzard Entertainment, Epic Games, Riot Games, and Sony. So, youll be forgiven for getting hot under the collar for Singularity 6s first game, Palia, an immersive MMO community simulation game.
Palia is set in a fantasy world that is picturesque and inviting. Youll be able to build a home and a life in the lush green meadows nestled between mountain ranges. Palia will have an evolving narrative that you will be able to experience with other players, as you would expect from an MMO. And, as you explore the world, you will meet and interact with a compelling cast of characters.
Singularity 6s mission is to create more meaningful online experiences with immersive online worlds that make players feel like they truly belong. A social home builder that has you exploring a new world with friends and friends-to-be sounds spot on when it comes to delivering on that mission.
One of the features Singularity 6 noted in the announcement for Palia is that it offers deep customization systems. Starting with the character creation where you will be able to choose from a diverse range of face and skin tones and hairstyles that can go on any character. Character fashion is incredibly flexible. You can mix and match different clothing items and customize colors and patterns.
Who this character youre creating? You play as a human, which doesnt sound particularly special. However, in Palia, the human race disappeared thousands of years ago. The race was at its highest point, having mastered magic. So, what caused the disappearance is a mystery.
As you can see from the trailer above, theres an impressive amount of customization you will be able to do to your new home too. Once, youve built it that is. It looks like youll need to harvest wood, mine ore, and plant a garden to feed yourself. Once youve got some solid walls up, youll be able to furnish it with everything from couches and beds to ornamental lutes.
The game begins with your character waking up in a quiet village on Palias southern coast. Together with the rest of the online community, you will forge a new destiny and build a new home for humanity. As you play, you will uncover the secrets of humanitys past. Singularity 6 says this story will take years to play out. So, buckle in for a long, and probably very pleasant, ride.
Palia also features a Neighborhood system that allows you to create a community of your own within the broader community. Theres also a social matchmaking system that ensures friends and neighbors are always nearby for a mission or chat. You know, social stuff.
If you would like to learn more about Palia or register for the Pre-Alpha coming later this summer, you can visit the games website.

Singularity 6s Palia Is A Relaxing MMO – Game Informer
Posted: at 4:08 pm
Weve seen countless MMORPGs all vying to be the one that excels in terms of giant raids, precision combat, and engaging progression. Singularity 6s first game, Palia, taps into a different kind of loop. Instead of being focused on character progression by means of weapons, armor, and dragonslaying, Palia aims to get players invested in the charms of farming, relationship building, and decorative finesse. If Palia sounds like Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing meets MMO to you, youre not far from the mark. Pre-alpha access is scheduled to land this summer, and you can sign up here. Check out the announcementtrailer!
In Palia, you play as a human in a fledgling world ready for you to shape. And how can you shape it? It starts with your living space, naturally. Every player has their own plot to advance and customize, with over a thousand decoration items available at launch. Naturally, you can invite your friends over to hang out and take in the scenery. Whereas traditional MMORPGs have guilds or clans to join, Palia has neighborhoods. In Neighborhoods, you can group up with other players to take on bigger tasks and objectives and reap the rewards.
While the focus is absolutely on the various tasks of fantasy life like bug catching, hanging out around the campfire, and fishing, there are opportunities for adventurers to go out and mess around with more dangerous fare in the areas outside the complete safety of the village. How deep the battles or hunts with the denizens outdoors go is up to players to decide, but its safe to say that the core focus of Palia lies within the social structures and cozy customization options that are in place for a more relaxed playstyle. There may be a wolfor some other nasty causing trouble far outside town, but you wont have to worry about one of those critters coming in and messing up Smore night with the gang.
Right now, the pre-alpha access is only scheduled for PC, and well have to wait to see if it will come to any other platforms as it gets on a path to release.

Quirk Singularity | My Hero Academia Wiki | Fandom

Quirk SingularityJapanese Name
Kosei Tokuiten
The Quirk Singularity is a concept postulated by Dr. Kyudai Garaki about the danger posed by Quirks becoming stronger and stronger with each generation.[1]
About seventy years ago, Dr. Kyudai Garaki presented this theory, according to which, as the generations follow one another, Quirks blend and evolve, producing stronger and more complex Quirks. However, with this increase in power, the Quirks will also become more difficult to control, since the human body doesn't evolve quickly enough to keep up. Eventually, there will come a point when Quirks will become too overpowered and complicated, and no one will be able to control them anymore. This theory was originally called Paranormal Singularity Theory,[2] although over time it would also become known as Quirk Singularity Doomsday Theory.[3]
Back then, no one believed Kyudais thesis and mocked it, citing that they found it absurd and lacking in evidence, and eventually ignored it. In an era struggling to return an impoverished, conflicted world back to peace, no one believed there was anything to indicate the "collapse of the future". After his theory was rejected and he was ostracized from society as a result, Kyudai went missing.
However, there was one person who took his theory seriously: All For One. With his ability to use so many Quirks, the idea that his body was not able to adapt was a serious issue for him. For this reason, All For One approached Kyudai and offered him his help and patronage to continue his research and investigations in this regard. In appreciation, Kyudai became one of his most loyal allies.
With the passage of time, the Paranormal Singularity Theory began to gain notoriety. The early signs of Garaki's hypotheses started to appear among the fourth generation of Quirk users, although, even nowadays, the theory is considered fringe thinking reserved for cults.[3][1][4]

Singularity Tutorial – SDSC
Posted: at 4:08 pm
Background
What is Singularity?*
"Singularity enables users to have full control of their environment. Singularity containers can be used to package entire scientific workflows, software and libraries, and even data. This means that you dont have to ask your cluster admin to install anything for you - you can put it in a Singularity container and run."
There are numerous good tutorials on how to install and run Singularity on Linux, OS X, or Windows so we won't go into much detail on that process here. In this tutorial you will learn how to run Singularity on Comet. First we will review how to access a compute node on Comet and provide a simple example to help get you started. There are numerous tutorial on how to get started with Singularity, but there are some details specific to running Singularity on Comet which are not covered in those tutorials. This tutorial assumes you already have an account on Comet. You will also need access to a basic set of example files to get started. SDSC hosts a Github repository containing a Hello world! example which you may clone with the following command:
> git clone https://github.com/hpcdevops/singularity-hello-world.git
Below is a typical list of commands you would need to issue in order to implement a functional Python installation for scientific research:
COMMAND=apt-get -y install libx11-dev COMMAND=apt-get install build-essential python-libdev COMMAND=apt-get install build-essential openmpi-dev COMMAND=apt-get install cmakeCOMMAND=apt-get install g++ COMMAND=apt-get install git-lfs COMMAND=apt-get install libXss.so.1COMMAND=apt-get install libgdal1-dev libproj-dev COMMAND=apt-get install libjsoncpp-dev libjsoncpp0 COMMAND=apt-get install libmpich-dev --userCOMMAND=apt-get install libpthread-stubs0 libpthread-stubs0-dev libx11-dev libx11-d COMMAND=apt-get install libudev0:i386COMMAND=apt-get install numpy COMMAND=apt-get install python-matplotlib COMMAND=apt-get install python3
Singularity allows you to avoid this time-consuming series of steps by packaging these commands in a re-usable and editable script, allowing you to quickly, easily, and repeatedly implement a custom container designed specifically for your analytical needs.
The diagram below compares a VM vs. Docker vs. Singularity.
Next, let's get some hands-on experience with Singularity. The following tutorial includes links to asciinema video tutorials created by SDSC HPC Systems Manager, Trevor Cooper (Thanks, Trevor!) which allow you to see the console interactivity and output in detail. Look for the video icon like the one shown to the right corresponding to the task you are currently working on.
First we download and upack the source using the following commands (assuming your user name is 'test_user' and you are working on your local computer with super user privileges):
[test_user@localhost ~]$ wget https://github.com/singularityware/singularity/releases/download/2.5.1/singularity-2.5.1.tar.gz tar -zxf singularity-2.5.1.tar.gz
If the file is successfully extracted, you should be able to view the results:
Next we configure and build the package. To configure, enter the following command (we'll leave out the command prompts):
To build, issue the following command:
This may take several seconds depending on your computer.
To complete the installation enter:
You should be prompted to enter your admin password.
Once the installation is completed, you can check to see if it succeeded in a few different ways:
You can also run a selftest with the following command:
The output should look something like:
The process of building a Singularity container consists of a few distinct steps as follows.
We will go through each of these steps in detail.
We recommend building containers using the same version of Singularity, 2.5.1, as exists on Comet. This is a 2 step process.
Step 1: run the script below to remove your existing Singularity:
#!/bin/bash## A cleanup script to remove Singularity
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/libexec/singularitysudo rm -rf /usr/local/etc/singularitysudo rm -rf /usr/local/include/singularitysudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/singularitysudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/lib/singularity/sudo rm /usr/local/bin/singularitysudo rm /usr/local/bin/run-singularitysudo rm /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/singularitysudo rm /usr/local/man/man1/singularity.1
Step 2: run the following script to install Singularity 2.5.1:
#!/bin/bash## A build script for Singularity (http://singularity.lbl.gov/)
declare -r SINGULARITY_NAME='singularity'declare -r SINGULARITY_VERSION='2.5.1'declare -r SINGULARITY_PREFIX='/usr/local'declare -r SINGULARITY_CONFIG_DIR='/etc'
sudo apt updatesudo apt install python dh-autoreconf build-essential debootstrap
cd ../tar -xzvf "${PWD}/tarballs/${SINGULARITY_NAME}-${SINGULARITY_VERSION}.tar.gz"cd "${SINGULARITY_NAME}-${SINGULARITY_VERSION}"./configure --prefix="${SINGULARITY_PREFIX}" --sysconfdir="${SINGULARITY_CONFIG_DIR}"makesudo make install
To create an empty Singularity container, you simply issue the following command:
This will create a CentOS 7 container with a default size of ~805 Mb. Depending on what additional configurations you plan to make to the container, this size may or may not be big enough. To specify a particular size, such as ~4 Gb, include the -s parameter, as shown in the following command:
To view the resulting image in a directory listing, enter the following:
Next, we will import a Docker image into our empty Singularity container:
Once the container actually contains a CentOS 7 installation, you can shell into it with the following:
Once you enter the container you should see a different command prompt. At this new prompt, try typing:
Your user id should be identical to your user id outside the container. However, the operating system will probably be different. Try issuing the following command from inside the container to see what the OS version is:
Next, lets trying writing into the container (as root):
You should be prompted for your password, and then you should see something like the following:
Next, lets create a script within the container so we can use it to test the ability of the container to execute shell scripts:
The above command assumes you know the vi editor. Enter the following text into the script, save it, and quit the vi editor:
You may need to change the permissions on the script so it can be executable:
Try running the script manually:
The output should be:
Bootstrapping a Singularity container allows you to use what is called a definitions file so you can reproduce the resulting container configurations on demand.
Lets say you want to create a container with Ubuntu, but you may want to create variations on the configurations without having to repeat a long list of commands manually. First, we need our definitions file. Below is the contents of a definitions file which should suffice for our purposes.
%runscriptexec echo The runscript is the containers default runtime command!
%files/home/testuser/ubuntu.def /data/ubuntu.def
%labelsAUTHOR testuser@sdsc.edu
%postapt-get update && apt-get -y install python3 git wgetmkdir /dataecho The post section is where you can install and configure your container.
To bootstrap your container, first we need to create an empty container.
Now, we simply need to issue the following command to configure our container with Ubuntu:
This may take a while to complete. In principle, you can accomplish the same result by manually issuing each of the commands contained in the script file, but why do that when you can use bootstrapping to save time and avoid errors.
If all goes according to plan, you should then be able to shell into your new Ubuntu container.
Of course, the purpose of this tutorial is to enable you to use the San Diego Supercomputer Centers Comet supercomputer to run your jobs. This assumes you have an account on Comet already. If you do not have an account on Comet and you feel you can justify the need for such an account (i.e. your research is limited by the limited compute power you have in your government-funded research lab), you can request a Startup Allocation through the XSEDE User Portal:
https://portal.xsede.org/allocations-overview#types-trial
You may create a free account on the XUP if you do not already have one and then proceed to submit an allocation request at the above link.
[NOTE: SDSC provides a Comet User Guide ( http://www.sdsc.edu/support/user_guides/comet.html ) to help get you started with Comet. Learn more about The San Diego Supercomputer Center at http://www.sdsc.edu .]
This tutorial walks you through the following four steps towards running your first Singularity container on Comet:
Once you have created your container on your local system, you will need to transfer it to Comet. There are multiple ways to do this and it can take a varying amount of time depending on its size and your network connection speeds.
To do this, we will use scp (secure copy). If you have a Globus account and your containers are more than 4 Gb you will probably want to use that file transfer method instead of scp.
Browse to the directory containing the container. Copy the container to your scratch directory on Comet. By issuing the following command:
The container is ~805 Mb so it should not take too long, hopefully.
Once the file is transferred, login to Comet (assuming your Comet user is named 'test_user'):
Navigate to your scratch directory on Comet, which should be something like:
Next, you should submit a request for an interactive session on one of Comets compute, debug, or shared nodes.
Once your request is approved your command prompt should reflect the new node id.
Before you can run your container you will need to load the Singularity module (if you are unfamiliar with modules on Comet, you may want to review the Comet User Guide). The command to load Singularity on Comet is:
You may issue the above command from any directory on Comet. Recall that we added a hello_world.sh script to our centos7.img container. Lets try executing that script with the following command:
If all goes well, you should see Hello, World! in the console output. You might also see some warnings pertaining to non-existent bind points. You can resolve this by adding some additional lines to your definitions file before you build your container. We did not do that for this tutorial, but you would use a command like the following in your definitions file:
You will find additional examples located in the following locations on Comet:
and
It is best to avoid working on Comets login nodes since they can become a performance bottleneck not only for you but for all other users. You should rather allocate resources specific for computationally-intensive jobs. To allocate a compute node for your user on Comet, issue the following command:
This allocation requests a single node (-N 1) for a total time of 10 minutes (-t 00:10:00). Once your request has been approved, your computer node name should be displayed, e.g. comet-17-12.
Now you may login to this node:
Notice that the command prompt has now changed to reflect the fact that you are on a compute node and not a login node.
Next, load the Singularity module, shell into the container, and execute the hello_world.sh script:
If all goes well, you should see Hello, World! in the console output.
Of course, most users simply want to submit their jobs to the Comet queue and let it run to completion and go on to other things while waiting. Slurm is the job manager for Comet.
Below is a job script (which we will name singularity_mvapich2_hellow.run) which will submit your Singularity container to the Comet queue and run a program, hellow.c (written in C using MPI and provided as part of the examples with the mvapich2 default installation).
#!/bin/bash #SBATCH --job-name="singularity_mvapich2_hellow" #SBATCH --output="singularity_mvapich2_hellow.%j.out" #SBATCH --error="singularity_mvapich2_hellow.%j.err" #SBATCH --nodes=2 #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=24 #SBATCH --time=00:10:00 #SBATCH --export=all module load mvapich2_ib singularity
CONTAINER=/oasis/scratch/comet/$USER/temp_project/singularity/centos7-mvapich2.img
mpirun singularity exec ${CONTAINER} /usr/bin/hellow
The above script requests 2 nodes and 24 tasks per node with a wall time of 10 minutes. Notice that two modules are loaded (see the line beginning with module), one for Singularity and one for MPI. An environment variable CONTAINER is also defined to make it a little easier to manage long reusable text strings such as file paths.
You may need to add a line specifying with allocation to be used for this job. When you are ready to submit the job to the Comet queue, issue the following command:
To view the status of your job in the Comet queue, issue the following:
When the job is complete, view the output which should be written to the output file singularity_mvapich2_hellow.%j.out where %j is the job ID (lets say the job ID is 1000001):
