alt Hacker NewsBecause we have this discussion every single time LoRA comes up.
Also, neural networks and niche radio technologies are far enough apart that name clashes are to be expected and no problem.

That's a pretty big indicator that it's true.
And how should they know that? Do you expect people to read every single post on Hacker News? For me it's the first time I have heard LoRa being used to mean something else. Obviously new people are going to keep being confused for as long as posts with confusing titles are being posted.
And yes, the name clash may not matter in either of those circles, but it does matter right here on Hacker News where those circles overlap.
Also LoRa devices exists in the consumer space, so seems a bit disingenuous to call it a niche radio technology.
Niche? When I google for "lora" the AI stuff is not even in the first page.
