Useful.
I’ve always disliked the fact that SOHO NAT routers all seem to be configured with one of a handful of 192.168.*/24 subnets. Beyond the risk of collision, I’ve had the experience of being told vehemently by benighted customer “IT guys” that I’ve done something horribly wrong by setting their inside up on 10.175.202.0/23 or some similarly uncommon RFC1918 block, because they “knew” that it was supposed to be in the Class C range of RFC 1918.

Vietoris--Rips Shadow for Euclidean Graph Reconstruction
The shadow of an abstract simplicial complex $K$ with vertices in $\mathbb R^N$ is a subset of $\mathbb R^N$ defined as the union of the convex hulls of simplices of $K$. The Vietoris--Rips complex of a metric space $(S,d)$ at scale $β$ is an abstract simplicial complex whose each $k$-simplex corresponds to $(k+1)$ points of $S$ within diameter $β$. In case $S\subset\mathbb R^2$ and $d(a,b)=\|a-b\|$ standard Euclidean, the natural shadow projection of the Vietoris--Rips is already p…

Vu la langue de bois de Cassis et sa communication confuse, on entend un ministre au bout du rouleau. Je ne serais pas surpris s’il annonce sa démission prochainement.
