Elon Musk's favorite supposed data expert, who he's retweeted at least a dozen times, claims she can only process 60,000 rows of data before her "hard drive overheats".

Perhaps someone should rescue her from where she's apparently stuck twenty years in the past, which is the only possible explanation for those hardware limitations and the apparent lack of access to cloud compute.

Unless, of course, she's just completely making shit up.

Wait, what?

How poorly set up is her database that she can only run 60k rows? I can do that trivially on sqlite running on a raspberry pi.

My assumption is that she's simply lying, but I'm now awake pre-6am wondering if it would be possible to do that on purpose with modern hardware and software. Even indexing improperly and then doing joins on string columns wouldn't give that sort of anti-performance.

@passenger Perhaps if she moved the hard drive from where she left it on the radiator...
