ok -- 2 datasets... in 1 we get 'spilover' effect:
cycle=624 ; incr=0.00157436 ; non_zero=8 ; sum2_w_old=77745.9
cycle=625 ; incr=0.00157188 ; non_zero=8 ; sum2_w_old=77990.9

cycle=630 ; incr=nan ; non_zero=0 ; sum2_w_old=inf

and in another overflow of exponent:

min:max(data)=-4.433080:5.054645, got min:max(w)=-962.589603:941.041508 

Warning: overflow encountered in exp

tr for training, te for testing ;)
