Its basically like a cloud storage, and your local storage (your brain) gets wiped every loop. You can edit this file any time you want using your brain (you can be tied up and it still works). 1024 Bytes is all you get. Yes you read that right: BYTES, not KB, MB, or GB: 1024 BYTES

Lets just say, for this example: The loop is 7 days form a Monday 6 AM to the next Monday 5:59 AM.

How do you best use these 1024 Bytes to your advantage?

How would your strategy be different if every human on Earth also gets the same 1024 Bytes “memory buffer”?

    Bytes? What even is a byte in a brain? How much information is that? I think if you said “a tweet of 250 characters”, I could give you an answer, but 1024 bytes???

        If you do a 5 bit encoding (0-31) that’s enough for the alphabet and numbers can overlap with letters like in braille, plus spaces. Thats around 1638 characters. Standard ascii is technically 7 bits and that would compress to 1170 characters without the initial 0

          I think the question here is how much translation can be auto-done if you don’t have any memory of it to begin with. If it takes you any significant amount of time, that’s probably not worth it.

      8192 "1"s or "0"s stored in your Neuro-Computer Implant which automatically converts to Human-Readable text via UTF-8.

      TLDR: You have a .txt file in your brain with the max capacity of 1024 Bytes or 1024 characters if its the standard English Language and syntax.

      Oh, but having bytes opens up so many more possibilities. I’m working on a fun response to this… But it’s going to be a bit long.
