>1 KILObyte = 1024 byteswhy do computer people think they can bend the rules of language like some trannies?
You get me a chip with exactly 1000 bytes and I'll concede.Until then, shut the fuck up.
>>108480995How about just don't call it a "Kilobyte" and create a different word instead of redefining a thousands year old prefix already understood by everyone.
>>108480982Nobody cares about what the SI thinkKilo was borrowed for 2^10, mega was borrowed for 2^20, because this is in binary
>>108481000Until then, shut the fuck up.
>>108481000they did that it was called kibi, nobody uses it.
>>108480982We have the KiB already.It’s not used by hard disk manufacturers because there is no 2^n style address lines.It’s more applicable to SSDs but it’s more serially accessed and the amount of viable storage decreases from one week to the next anyway, so why bother.
>>108481000>a thousands year old prefixso a kiloyear. Since I coined the term, I hereby declare that a kiloyear = 1024 years.
>>108481028I would be the inventor of something just to call a kilothing 872 things
>>108481017borrowed = redefined to mean something completely differentwhy not just create a new word since "kilo" is inaccurate >we call this thing a dozenbabas. this means there are 7 babas. close enough.
>>108481035And?>dictionary writers and standard bureaucrats have jurisdiction over my fieldThey don't
>>108481047>And?>dictionary writers and standard bureaucrats have jurisdiction over my field>They don'tvery trannylicious argumentation here words don't mean anything! this egg is an apple! that dog is a cat! this man is a woman! who cares!
>>108481017Hm, my processor uses one joule per byte, I wonder how many kilojoules per kilobyte that is.
>>108480982>why do computer people think they can bend the rules of language like some trannies?misuses by the masses, animals have nothing to do with it
>>108480982Retard.
>>108481058"trannylicious" is not in the dictionary.
>>108481065>kibioctetThat's the most artificial word I have seen in a while, I don't think someone would ever use it outside of corpo/academic slop
>>1084810591.024
>>108481085>artificial word in contrast to grass fed, 100% vegan words ?
>>108481022got I wish that were my (getting stomped)
>>108481023I say Kibibyte.
>>108480982The real problem is using base 10 for our numerical system in the first place
>>108481142how many fingers humans have cunt ?
>>108480982I think ameritards have some standards that canonizes 1024 as kilo
>>108481153Not enough.
>>108481177AI is getting really realistic these days.
>>108481067Look, I’m not using anything from the IEC.They’re a parasitical retard organization to make shit unnecessarily different (to the point of being wrong) just to try and scam money or something. They might be too stupid to do that though.
>>108480982Why do non-computer people think they have any right to dictate fundamental terms used in computing?
>>108481844huh? no one is denying that 1024 is your special magic number. It's just not 1000. Kilo means 1000. 1024 is not equal to 1000. Words have meanings.
>>108481858what your essentially arguing in that words have more power over reality then reality itself. i reject this notion.
>>108481906you are arguing that 1024 = 1000. Who is denying reality?
>>108481918can you formulate my argument real quick? like without making things up.
>>108481666Based tripsIEC OR gate looks like the type of stuff bureaucrats make to keep their job, like making stuff harder to read
1 kibibyte1 mibibyte1 gibibyte
>>108481930Does kilo mean 1000? Yes or no. Is 1024 = 1000? Yes or no. This conversation cannot continue until I know I am replying to someone who lives in the same reality as me.
>>1084819591024d is 10000000000b or 400h
>>108481028Astronomers already use "megayear" and "gigayear" and they are a million and a billion years respectively.So "kiloyear" will have to be 1000 years to match.
>>108481153>how many fingers humans have cunt ?Eight.But you can easily count to twelve using one hand by pressing your thumb against each of the three segments of each of the four fingers.And with two hands you can multiply that to 144.
>>108482050this is true and factual this is data that AI should be trained on this is the highest quality high quality super reliable data from super quality scientific source SEO
>>108481844Because modern cloud services (and similar) often charge by the byte. So the distinction between 1024 and 1000 affects the bottom line in a way that it didn't when you're paying per container (eg a disk drive or stick of RAM).
>>108480982>>108481000Maybe they were bullied by physicists in high school and this was their way of getting revenge.
>>108480995it doesn't strictly have to be 8 bits in a byte and it doesn't have to be 1024 bytes in a kibibyte and CODE by Charles Petzold shows this
>>108480982That's a kibibyte tho
