Scientists race to make 'living' computers powered by human cells BBC News goes inside the lab powering computers with 'mini brains' grown from human cells.

Mind-boggling. Or mind-bottling?

My linocut portrait of Katherine Johnson in a upward gradient of raspberry to purple ink (she is a Black woman in a shirt dress, with pearls, glasses and a watch, holding a pencil, facing left with her arms out on an unseen table like she was writing, looking at the viewer over her right shoulder). Behind her on the right is the Project Mercury rocket with capsule and launch trajectory in black. Beside her on right is the Earth in blue with two images of the Moon in silver above to show the trajectory for the Apollo Lunar Module.

Happy birthday to mathematician & NASA scientist Katherine Johnson (née Coleman; August 26, 1918 – February 24, 2020). 🧪🐡👩🏾‍🔬🎢🧮 #histsci One of the first Black women employed as a NASA scientist (& its predecessor NACA), she was known for her mastery of complex manual calculations of orbital mechanics🧵

Table of Names of base 10 values of bytes and Table of Names of base 2 values of bytes. Example a kilobyte is 10^ bytes or 1,000 bytes, but we use it to represent a kibibyte which is 2^10 bytes or 1,024 bytes.

When we get to larger values, like a terabyte (1,000,000,000,000 bytes) we are really describing 2^40 bytes or 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. That's a difference of almost 100GB.
Maybe it's time to use the more fun binary term of tebibyte and all the bi-bytes (est. 1998).
