The one with no base has a base though. It's 10.

log without a specified base will always be base e to me as well

I guess it depends on whose book you're reading. I had one textbook that was this way.

Then, step into computer science, it's base 2.

yep, log depends on context. I mostly read physics papers and books, and you rarely see another base there
