Avoiding unpacking an array when altering its dimension












2












$begingroup$


I am trying to flatten a matrix from 3-dimensional to 2-dimensional one.



The original one has dimension for example {10,120,120}:



list1 = RandomReal[1, {10, 120, 120}];


I want to convert it to a new matrix with {10,120*120} dimension. I am using:



On["Packing"]  (*For checking if exist unpacked arrays *)  

Flatten[Map[Flatten, {list1}, {-3}], 1];


But this will generate unpacked array. How should I avoid this issue?

An alternative to using Flatten as in the comments is to use ArrayReshape. For large arrays, ArrayReshape should be significantly faster. For example:



list1 = RandomReal[1, {10, 1200, 1200}];


Comparison:



r1 = Flatten[list1, {{1}, {2, 3}}]; //RepeatedTiming

r2 = ArrayReshape[list1, {10, 1200 1200}]; //RepeatedTiming



r1 === r2



{0.120, Null}



{0.025, Null}



True

Accessing regular linux commands in Huawei's Dopra Linux

Image
4 Backstory: I have a Huawei HG8245 router in my house and I want to change the default username/password. I've tried following this guide but the config file always gets reset. My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials. The first shell I gain access to looks like this: WAP> Pressing "?" gives me a list of available commands which I've pasted here, the two interesting ones are "su" and "shell". I can't seem to get su access, even after logging in as root (challenge password prompt, and then nothing happens), but shell gives me a proper linux shell.
