I really wish people would be more careful about choosing names for these things. LoRa has been a popular wireless protocol for like 10 years.

The overlap in the Venn Diagram of people who care about LoRA and people who care about LoRa is extremely small. Your problem is not typical of people in the Machine Learning field. That's why they didn't care, or more likely this issue didn't occur to the first 50 people who saw the name LoRA.

Think of Apple naming its spreadsheet "Numbers" and its word processor "Pages" (or, for that matter, the name "Apple" itself. Or "Windows", "Word", "Access"...).

And yet (as others have noted) adding another word or two to give a bit of context is usually enough that web searches work.

Search engines are pretty clever nowadays, except when they've been deliberately dumbed-down (cough... Google...).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not sure about "popular" 99% of ML engineers wouldn't know what it is.

...but they should know how to use search engines...

Anyone 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.
