Programmers like 1024, because that's how binary works when you keep doubling bits, and it's cleaner and more intuitive when you're working with low level code. Normies like 1000.

When modern CPUs execute instructions, they try to make a best guess as to what the next instruction or data it needs will be while it's still executing the first, to speed things up so it doesn't have to wait until the entire instruction execution cycle is complete to start retrieving the next one from memory. These exploits force it to guess wrong, potentially pulling sensitive data out of memory and making it accessible to processes which usually can't access it.

It's the water. I can take ghost pepper sauce on a burger but the water in the soup ensures it soaks directly into to every crevice of your skull.
