Not sure about "popular"
99% of ML engineers wouldn't know what it is.
- enlyth 2y agoI'm not an ML engineer and the only reason I know that the wireless protocol exists is because in every HN article, there's a comment repeating the same complaint
- Findecanor 2y ago99% of the engineers who are still working in ML (Machine Language) would. A much smaller percent among those who write in ML (the functional programming language) probably, though.
- nerdponx 2y agoEven if the ML engineers know about the wireless protocol (and I doubt that many do), the scientists/researchers who develop these models probably don't. They are completely different domain. The lead author on this paper is basically a neuroscientist; some of the other are technically computer scientists, but probably have little hands-on experience with networking beyond whatever they did in undergrad.

- goodpoint 2y ago...but they should know how to use search engines...
- bryanrasmussen 2y agoat some point we are going to run out of easily pronounceable abbreviations that are unique. Perhaps that point is actually in the past and we should just acknowledge it and move on. Although I guess it could have been Lorall - oops, that's a character in World of Warcraft.
- dheera 2y agoOld concepts become obsolete anyway. People can start reusing VCR, etc.
- marcinzm 2y agoAs should have the IoT people to not conflict with the decades old LORA name used for Level of Repair Analysis.
- barfbagginus 2y agoAnyone with some starch to their collar now knows that lora is both a wireless technology and an ANN fine tuning method. It's virtually impossible to be sent for a loop if you're engaging critically. The two domains solve very different problems and have no overlapping concepts. The way we talk about each topic is very distinct.
- bmitc 2y agoNot much of a surprise there. The ML culture is to reinvent names for everything.
