Long range (LoRa) mesh networks are interesting alternatives to communication, especially when state actors are blocking internet access for various reasons.

What up with everyone using the acronym LoRa. It is becoming confusing.

We ran out of acronyms a long time ago.

When talking about LoRa, I always think about the wireless protocol/chip... Its been around for a long time (specially when capitalized like that) .... What other Lora are you talking about?

In generative AIs LoRAs are "Low-Rank Adaptions". Basically an overlay for existing networks to teach them new things.

perhaps LoRa is the name of the singularity and it is all coming together

It stands for Long Range, so would otherwise have been LR.
