28/3/25 AI Development

So i made a GAN image generation ai, a really simple one, but it did take me a lot of hours. I used this add-on for python (a programming language) called tensorflow, which is meant specifically for LMs (language models). The dataset I used is made up of 12 composite photos I made in 2023. I put my focus for this week into making sure the AI works, so I know my idea is viable, if it didnt work i would have to pivot to another idea, but its looking like it does thank god.

A GAN pretty much creates images similar to the training data, which works well with my concept because it ties into how AI tries to replicate art and culture. I called it Johnny2000. It doesnt actually matter how effective johnny is at creating realistic output, the message still works, the only thing i dont want is the output to be insanely realistic, which it shouldnt be, because i purposefully havent trained johnny to recognise and categorise things, i want him to try make something similar to the stuff i showed him and see what happens when he doesnt understand the 'rules' of the human world, so he outputs what a world based on a program would look like, that kind of thing.

I ran into heaps of errors, like everyone does with a coding project, and downloading tensorflow itself literally took me around 4 hours from how convoluted it was.

As of writing this paragraph, johnny is training in the background. I have two levels of output, one (the gray box) is what johnny gives me when i show him the dataset and tell him to create an image right away with no training, therefore he has no idea what to do and gives me a grey box with slight variations in colour. The second one (colourful) is after 10 rounds of training (called epoches), so pockets of colour are appearing, but still in a random noise like way. I'll make a short amendment to this post with the third image he's generating, which will be after 100 more rounds. Hopefully some sort of structure will form. I'm not sure how many epoches ill need to get the output i want, so while i continue the actual proposal i can have johnny working away in the background until i find a good level of training.

Edit, same day: johnny finished the 100 epoch version, its still very noisy as you can see, but the colours are starting to show, and the forms are very slowly coming through. looking at these 3 versions, im not expecting any decent input until 10000+ epochs. considering this 3rd version took over an hour to render, im gonna need to let it work overnight, ive been getting errors that the gpu isnt being used so i could try look at that, i think its because my version of tensorflow is too low. (newer ones arent supported on native windows, id need to use linux, which is possible on my computer but ive done all this work to get it to work here... so....)

how tf do i make it display smaller...

anyways, heres a peek at my dataset, so you can see that the colours are now being used (b/w + red and turquoise).

Zelda 64: Recompiled for PC - Majora's Mask

Zelda 64: Recompiled is a project that uses N64: Recompiled to statically recompile Majora's Mask (and soon Ocarina of Time) into a native port with many new features and enhancements. This project uses RT64 as the rendering engine to provide some of these enhancements.

Play Majora's Mask natively on PC! Download here for Windows or Linux:

Note: Project does not include game assets. Original game is required to play.

Features:

Plug and Play

Simply provide your copy of the North American version of the game in the main menu and start playing! This project will automatically load assets from the provided copy, so there is no need to go through a separate extraction step or build the game yourself. Other versions of the game may be supported in the future.

Fully Intact N64 Effects

A lot of care was put into RT64 to make sure all graphical effects were rendered exactly as they did originally on the N64. No workarounds or "hacks" were made to replicate these effects, with the only modifications to them being made for enhancement purposes such as widescreen support. This includes framebuffer effects like the grayscale cutscenes and the Deku bubble projectile, depth effects like the lens of truth, decals such as shadows or impact textures, accurate lighting, shading effects like the fire arrows and bomb explosions, and various textures that are often rendered incorrectly.

Easy-to-Use Menus

Gameplay settings, graphics settings, input mappings, and audio settings can all be configured with the in-game config menu. The menus can all be used with mouse, controller, or keyboard for maximum convenience.

High Framerate Support

Play at any framerate you want thanks to functionality provided by RT64! Game objects and terrain, texture scrolling, screen effects, and most HUD elements are all rendered at high framerates. By default, this project is configured to run at your monitor's refresh rate. You can also play at the original framerate of the game if you prefer. Changing framerate has no effect on gameplay.

Note: External framerate limiters (such as the NVIDIA Control Panel) are known to potentially cause problems, so if you notice any stuttering then turn them off and use the manual framerate slider in the in-game graphics menu instead.

Widescreen and Ultrawide Support

Any aspect ratio is supported, with most effects modded to work correctly in widescreen. The HUD can also be positioned at 16:9 when using ultrawide aspect ratios if preferred.

Note: Some animation quirks can be seen at the edges of the screen in certain cutscenes when using very wide aspect ratios.

Gyro Aim

When playing with a supported controller, first-person items such as the bow can be aimed with your controller's gyro sensor. This includes (but is not limited to) controllers such as the Dualshock 4, Dualsense, Switch Pro, and most third party Switch controllers (such as the 8BitDo Pro 2 in Switch mode).

Note: Gamepad mappers such as BetterJoy or DS4Windows may intercept gyro data and prevent the game from receiving it. Most controllers are natively supported, so turning gamepad mappers off is recommended if you want to use gyro.

Autosaving

Never worry about losing progress if your power goes out thanks to autosaving! The autosave system is designed to respect Majora's Mask's original save system and maintain the intention of owl saves by triggering automatically and replacing the previous autosave or owl save. However, if you'd still rather play with the untouched save system, simply turn off autosaving in the ingame menu.

Low Input Lag

This project has been optimized to have as little input lag as possible, making the game feel more responsive than ever!

Instant Load Times

Saving and loading files, going from place to place, and pausing all happen in the blink of an eye thanks to the game running natively on modern hardware.

Linux and Steam Deck Support

A Linux binary is available for playing on most up-to-date distros, including on the Steam Deck.

To play on Steam Deck, extract the Linux build onto your deck. Then, in desktop mode, right click the Zelda64Recompiled executable file and select "Add to Steam" as shown. From there, you can return to Gaming mode and configure the controls as needed. See the Steam Deck gyro aim FAQ section for more detailed instructions.

System Requirements:

A GPU supporting Direct3D 12.0 (Shader Model 6) or Vulkan 1.2 is required to run this project (GeForce GT 630, Radeon HD 7750, or Intel HD 510 (Skylake) and newer).

A CPU supporting the AVX instruction set is also required (Intel Core 2000 series or AMD Bulldozer and newer).

Planned Features:

Dual analog control scheme (with analog camera)

Configurable deadzone and analog stick sensitivity

Ocarina of Time support

Mod support and Randomizer

Texture Packs

Model Replacements

Ray Tracing (via RT64)

What Are the Hadoop Skills to Be Learned?

With the constantly changing nature of big data, Hadoop is among the most essential technologies for processing and storing big datasets. With companies in all sectors gathering more structured and unstructured data, those who have skills in Hadoop are highly sought after. So what exactly does it take to master Hadoop? Though Hadoop is an impressive open-source tool, to master it one needs a combination of technical and analytical capabilities. Whether you are a student looking to pursue a career in big data, a data professional looking to upskill, or someone career transitioning, here's a complete guide to the key skills that you need to learn Hadoop. 1. Familiarity with Big Data Concepts Before we jump into Hadoop, it's helpful to understand the basics of big data. Hadoop was designed specifically to address big data issues, so knowing these issues makes you realize why Hadoop operates the way it does. • Volume, Variety, and Velocity (The 3Vs): Know how data nowadays is huge (volume), is from various sources (variety), and is coming at high speed (velocity). • Structured vs Unstructured Data: Understand the distinction and why Hadoop is particularly suited to handle both. • Limitations of Traditional Systems: Know why traditional relational databases are not equipped to handle big data and how Hadoop addresses that need. This ground level knowledge guarantees that you're not simply picking up tools, but realizing their context and significance.

2. Fundamental Programming Skills Hadoop is not plug-and-play. Though there are tools higher up the stack that layer over some of the complexity, a solid understanding of programming is necessary in order to take advantage of Hadoop. • Java: Hadoop was implemented in Java, and much of its fundamental ecosystem (such as MapReduce) is built on Java APIs. Familiarity with Java is a major plus. • Python: Growing among data scientists, Python can be applied to Hadoop with tools such as Pydoop and MRJob. It's particularly useful when paired with Spark, another big data application commonly used in conjunction with Hadoop. • Shell Scripting: Because Hadoop tends to be used on Linux systems, Bash and shell scripting knowledge is useful for automating jobs, transferring data, and watching processes. Being comfortable with at least one of these languages will go a long way in making Hadoop easier to learn. 3. Familiarity with Linux and Command Line Interface (CLI) Most Hadoop deployments run on Linux servers. If you’re not familiar with Linux, you’ll hit roadblocks early on. • Basic Linux Commands: Navigating the file system, editing files with vi or nano, and managing file permissions are crucial. • Hadoop CLI: Hadoop has a collection of command-line utilities of its own. Commands will need to be used in order to copy files from the local filesystem and HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System), to start and stop processes, and to observe job execution. A solid comfort level with Linux is not negotiable—it's a foundational skill for any Hadoop student.

4. HDFS Knowledge HDFS is short for Hadoop Distributed File System, and it's the heart of Hadoop. It's designed to hold a great deal of information in a reliable manner across a large number of machines. You need: • Familiarity with the HDFS architecture: NameNode, DataNode, and block allocation. • Understanding of how writing and reading data occur in HDFS. • Understanding of data replication, fault tolerance, and scalability. Understanding how HDFS works makes you confident while performing data work in distributed systems.

5. MapReduce Programming Knowledge MapReduce is Hadoop's original data processing engine. Although newer options such as Apache Spark are currently popular for processing, MapReduce remains a topic worth understanding. • How Map and Reduce Work: Learn about the divide-and-conquer technique where data is processed in two phases—map and reduce. • MapReduce Job Writing: Get experience writing MapReduce programs, preferably in Java or Python. • Performance Tuning: Study job chaining, partitioners, combiners, and optimization techniques. Even if you eventually favor Spark or Hive, studying MapReduce provides you with a strong foundation in distributed data processing.

6. Working with Hadoop Ecosystem Tools Hadoop is not one tool—its an ecosystem. Knowing how all the components interact makes your skills that much better. Some of the big tools to become acquainted with: • Apache Pig: A data flow language that simplifies the development of MapReduce jobs. • Apache Sqoop: Imports relational database data to Hadoop and vice versa. • Apache Flume: Collects and transfers big logs of data into HDFS. • Apache Oozie: A workflow scheduler to orchestrate Hadoop jobs. • Apache Zookeeper: Distributes systems. Each of these provides useful functionality and makes Hadoop more useful. 7. Basic Data Analysis and Problem-Solving Skills Learning Hadoop isn't merely technical expertise—it's also problem-solving. • Analytical Thinking: Identify the issue, determine how data can be harnessed to address it, and then determine which Hadoop tools to apply. • Data Cleaning: Understand how to preprocess and clean large datasets before analysis. • Result Interpretation: Understand the output that Hadoop jobs produce. These soft skills are typically what separate a decent Hadoop user from a great one.

8. Learning Cluster Management and Cloud Platforms Although most learn Hadoop locally using pseudo-distributed mode or sandbox VMs, production Hadoop runs on clusters—either on-premises or in the cloud. • Cluster Management Tools: Familiarize yourself with tools such as Apache Ambari and Cloudera Manager. • Cloud Platforms: Learn how Hadoop runs on AWS (through EMR), Google Cloud, or Azure HDInsight. It is crucial to know how to set up, monitor, and debug clusters for production-level deployments. 9. Willingness to Learn and Curiosity Last but not least, you will require curiosity. The Hadoop ecosystem is large and dynamic. New tools, enhancements, and applications are developed regularly. • Monitor big data communities and forums. • Participate in open-source projects or contributions. • Keep abreast of tutorials and documentation. Your attitude and willingness to play around will largely be the distinguishing factor in terms of how well and quickly you learn Hadoop. Conclusion Hadoop opens the door to the world of big data. Learning it, although intimidating initially, can be made easy when you break it down into sets of skills—such as programming, Linux, HDFS, SQL, and problem-solving. While acquiring these skills, not only will you learn Hadoop, but also the confidence in creating scalable and intelligent data solutions. Whether you're creating data pipelines, log analysis, or designing large-scale systems, learning Hadoop gives you access to a whole universe of possibilities in the current data-driven age. Arm yourself with these key skills and begin your Hadoop journey today.

How to Prevent Malware Attacks: A Simple Guide to Protection

Malware attacks are among the most significant threats businesses face today. These attacks can destroy data, disrupt operations, and even cripple entire organizations. Protecting your business from malware isn’t just about avoiding risk—it’s about building a proactive defense. Fortunately, preventing malware attacks is simpler than you might think. In this guide, we’ll explain how to prevent malware attacks, share essential tips for protection, and help you secure your systems with straightforward steps.

What Is Malware?

Before diving into prevention, let’s first understand malware. Malware, short for "malicious software," refers to programs or files intentionally designed to harm your computer system, steal sensitive data, or compromise your system’s integrity. Common types of malware include:

Viruses: Malicious programs that attach themselves to legitimate files or software and spread to other systems.

Spyware: Software that secretly monitors your activities and steals sensitive data.

Ransomware: A type of malware that locks you out of your files or systems, demanding payment to restore access.

Trojans: Malicious software disguised as legitimate programs, often used to give hackers remote access.

Worms: Self-replicating malware that spreads without human intervention.

Regardless of the type, malware can cause devastating damage—from data breaches and financial losses to compromised networks. Taking proactive steps to prevent attacks is essential.

How to Prevent Malware Attacks: 5 Simple Steps

1. Keep Your Software Updated

Think of software updates as locks on your doors. If they’re outdated, intruders can easily break in. Updates often include critical security patches that fix vulnerabilities in operating systems, applications, and antivirus programs. Here’s how to stay updated:

Regularly update your operating system, whether it’s Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Keep applications like web browsers, email clients, and productivity tools up to date.

Ensure your antivirus software runs the latest virus definitions.

Set your devices to update automatically to avoid forgetting. Ignoring updates can leave your systems vulnerable.

2. Install and Use Antivirus Software

Antivirus software acts as your system’s bodyguard, constantly scanning for threats and blocking malicious files. To maximize protection:

Choose a reliable antivirus program with real-time protection.

Schedule regular scans of your system—weekly or even daily.

Enable automatic updates to ensure your antivirus software is equipped to handle the latest threats.

While antivirus software isn’t 100% foolproof, it’s a critical component of your defense strategy.

3. Be Cautious with Emails and Attachments

Email is a common malware delivery method. Cybercriminals use phishing emails to trick users into downloading malicious attachments or clicking harmful links. Here’s how to stay safe:

Avoid opening email attachments from unknown or suspicious senders.

Don’t click on unexpected links, especially if they ask for personal information.

Look for signs of phishing, such as misspellings, incorrect grammar, or odd sender addresses.

When in doubt, delete suspicious emails. If the email appears to be from a known company, contact them directly to confirm its authenticity.

4. Use Strong Passwords and Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

A weak password is like leaving your front door wide open. Protect your accounts by:

Using long, complex passwords with uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

Avoiding obvious choices like “password123” or your pet’s name.

Storing passwords securely with a password manager.

Enable MFA whenever possible. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring additional verification, such as a code sent to your phone or a biometric scan.

5. Backup Your Data Regularly

Even with the best precautions, attacks can happen. Regular backups ensure you can restore critical data with minimal disruption. Follow these tips:

Backup important files daily or weekly, depending on their importance.

Use external drives or cloud storage to store backups securely.

Keep backups disconnected from your main network to prevent malware from spreading to them.

Reliable backups enable quick recovery after an attack, minimizing impact on your business.

Additional Tips for Malware Protection

Use a Firewall

A firewall acts as a barrier between your system and external threats. It monitors network traffic and blocks malicious activity. Ensure your firewall is activated and properly configured.

Limit User Permissions

Restrict access to sensitive systems and data within your organization. Not all employees need admin rights. Limiting permissions reduces the risk of malware spreading.

Train Your Employees

Your team can be your greatest asset or weakest link in cybersecurity. Educate employees about recognizing phishing attacks, practicing safe internet habits, and handling sensitive data. Conduct regular training sessions to keep everyone informed about evolving threats.

Why Cybersecurity is Critical for Your Business

Malware attacks affect more than just your computer systems—they impact your bottom line. A single breach can:

Compromise confidential data, including customer information and intellectual property.

Cause financial losses from downtime or data recovery.

Damage your reputation, leading to lost customers.

Disrupt your network infrastructure, making it harder to operate.
