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.
- jorlow 6mo agoI 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?
- ticulatedspline 6mo agoNever 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.
- HeyLaughingBoy 6mo agoAnd 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.
- sorenjan 6mo agoA 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. > Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
