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.

Tweet by @DataRepublican: "In my initial run, which processed the first 60,000 rows, I did not find these awards—my hard drive overheated long before I could complete a full pass through the database. In a later run, which I referenced in another post, I did identify two such awards. That discrepancy is a matter of sampling size, not an issue with the query itself. I’ll now attempt a full run, which should capture the awards you found."

@skinnylatte @molly0xfff Seriously, I bet a good programmer could get that workable on a TI-83.

Actually Excel (until 2003) had a row limit of 65,536.
This could mean she is using Excel 2003 to process her data 🤡
(this doesn't "explain" the harddisk overheating 🤪)

the latter is caused by the crypto mining trojan on her win XP computer
