This implies that they are actually "speaking" in text, because over actual speech 10 said in base 10 would be "ten" and 10 said in base 2 would be "one zero", i.e. not ambiguous at all.

There's no rule saying that you can't pronounce 10 in binary as ten.

thank you for giving me a great torture idea for all my IT adjacent friends, from now on i'll be pronouncing all binary as if it were one number (up until i can't be bothered anymore)

I'm only interested in 3rd base currently.

All bases are belong to us

[-] adeoxymus@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago

More important is the scale. On a scale of 10 means it doesn’t matter in what base XD

[-] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

So then this would mean a 1 in binary is a decimal 5?

[-] adeoxymus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Depends if the scale runs from 1 to 10 it would be equivalent to a decimal 1, interpretation would be binary: 10 pretty 1 not pretty

Not zero-indexing people's attractiveness SMH. /s

[-] redparadise@lemmygrad.ml -2 points 1 day ago

On a scale of 10, 10 in Base 2 would be 2.

Babe, you are an F.

[-] Mesa@programming.dev 17 points 1 day ago

Babe, on a scale of 0x1 to 0x10, I give you a solid A+.

[-] ttyybb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

A+? Would that just be B or does it round down

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

It overflows and goes back to 0x00

[-] Mesa@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

It can be whatever you like

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 19 points 1 day ago

Should've just said "True".

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

On a 100, right?

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Maybe he meant IO. She is his input/output.

[-] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

All your base are belong to us

[-] blobii@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 day ago

hexadecimal notation wins again

[-] aaaaaaaaargh@feddit.org 0 points 1 day ago

But on a binary scale this would translate to 11 base 10.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

Wut?

10 binary = 2 decimal

10 decimal = 1010 binary

Where are we getting 11?

[-] aaaaaaaaargh@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

10 is the base (2) overflowed by 1 (zero indexed) which kind of translates to 10+1 base 10 (1 indexed). I didn't really mean in in mathematical but rather nonsensical way. I just wanted to pull 11/10
