Sure outside of computing in other science it has a meaning but in binary computing traditionally prefix + byte implied binary number quantities.
Many things acquire domain specific nuanced meaning ..
- floren 9mo agoAnd yet in computing, a 1kHz clock is still 1000 cycles per second, and 1 MFLOP is still 1,000,000 floating-point operations per second.
- antonvs 9mo agoThe comment you replied to explained that: "in binary computing traditionally prefix + byte implied binary number quantities." There are no bytes involved in Hz or FLOPs.
- pdw 9mo agoEven in computing the binary definition is only used with memory sizes. E.g. storage, network speeds, clock rates use the standard definition.
