Whichever one you arbitrarily define as "correct".
Since "kilo" is an SI unit defined as 10^3, I guess that has historical
precedent. (I mean, without SI, would we even call it "kilobytes" in the
first place?)
IIRC, somebody somewhere wanted to start calling it KiB or something
stupid for when you actually mean 2^10...
