About Bits
The bit (b) is the fundamental unit of digital information - a single binary digit: 0 or 1. Coined by John Tukey in 1948; formalised by Claude Shannon. Physically realised as transistor states (SRAM/DRAM), magnetic domains (HDD), charge levels in NAND flash (MLC=2, TLC=3, QLC=4 bits per cell). Shannon entropy: a coin flip = 1 bit; a card drawn from a 52-card deck ≈ 5.7 bits. 1 bit = 1/4 nibble = 1/8 byte.
About Kibibytes
A kibibyte (KiB) = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 bytes (IEC 80000-13) - the binary kilobyte used by OS memory management. Linux/Windows page size = 4 KiB (4,096 bytes); default NTFS/ext4/APFS cluster size = 4 KiB. CPU L1-D cache: 16-64 KiB. Arduino AVR flash: 2-32 KiB. Windows labels KiB as 'KB'. 1 KiB = 1,024 bytes = 8,192 bits.
