This is interesting and all, but “LoRA” is painfully close to “LoRa” (which is related to radio networking, not AI) when just scanning a list of topics. We’re never going to beat the Shannon limit on acronyms and initialisms.

I’m glad the rest of the anchor text gave some context.

A version of this comment is posted in all submissions about Low Rank Adapters. I don't see how "Learning to reason in 13 parameters" would apply to low power radio communication, so it's even less relevant this time.

I’m sorry if that reads like a complaint.

I see this comment on every single LoRA post despite the vast majority of posts being about LoRA not LoRa. Can we please stop beating this dead horse?

Never heard of the radio thing. I suspect LoRA has already eclipsed LoRa in general usage. It's probably more appropriate to complain on a LoRa post that it's too close to LoRA.

And I'm the exact opposite. I never heard about LoRA, but I have used LoRa and was curious to see what it had to do with reasoning.

It's just an unfortunate name collision: disambiguating by use of capitals only works with computers.
