2^24 of anything ought to be enough for anybody
I feel like 256 or 65536 bytes is too small for a usable computer with usable applications, whereas 2^32 bytes or larger is too unrestrictive on writing correct, bloatless applications. So I'm making a quote where 2^24 of anything ought to be enough for anybody. Like, 2^24 bytes of ram, 2^24 bytes of nonvolatile storage, 2^24 bytes of cpu cache, 2^24 clock cycles per second cpu cores, 2^24 fpga logic block chip, 24 bit address space bitstreams, etc. Basically, this sounds like the historic 3M computer, but I'll call my implementation of such a computer and OS the 16M computer and the 16M OS. Thoughts?

The real world is not that simple.
Until you can give concrete evidence, it's opinion and politics.
