Re: new GerH build/sources (2257) available at hebbut.net - crm114-20080502-BlameJason

   From: "Ger Hobbelt" <[email protected]>

   hebbut.net has been updated a bit too; new direct access URL:

   http://hebbut.net/Public.Offerings/crm114.html

   or when you come from the hebbut.net main page do as before:

   (click)> public offerings  (click)> CRM114

   The major visible enhancement is in the script debugger - which is
   VERY handy when you're into crm114 scripting or script debugging; see
   the on-line QUICKREF.txt documentation, section 'Using the CRM114
   built-in script debugger'.
   Available on-line through the url mentioned above under the heading
   'Want to know more about this release?'.

Ahhh... I looked for it in the download kit; it seems that there's
version skew between the kit and the "about".

I see several things I like and should put into mainline when
I have some time (as in, after fixing substring compression, the SVM,
and clumping/pmulc.  Then there's the whole question of TF/IDF
capability and where it fits into the language itself.

However- I have a question on the css* commands - some of the commands
will be exceptionally difficult (practically impossible, actually)
to implement.  Example: cssdiff of two neural networks - I suspect
the person who figures out how to analyze the actual contents of
a neural net for nontrivial examples will win some prize from 
the ACM or the AMS.  Cssdiff makes sense only when the featuresets
can be expected to overlap significantly, and that's not the
case in many of the classifiers (SVM, NN, Hyperspace, bit
entropy).

-----

On the other OTHER hand... this is making me think of ressurection of
the TPA system - Total Plugin Architecture.  This was a way to
add functionality dynamically and conveniently to a high level
language.  

In any case, thanks.  It's good to see significant development
going on.

No , I have not forgotten about getting GIT or similar source code
control up; the machine that would run it is now in pieces on the
living room floor.  It has successfully refused to accept any 1 gig
memory stick I offer it, as well as refusing to boot from USB devices.

I am considering percussive maintenance.
