60k of rows is nothing. Fuck, where do you find these “geniuses”?
Tbf we don't know how many columns there are /s
The IRS just switched columns and rows. So there's 60k rows and 330 million columns /s
Unless I'm misreading it which is possible it's awfully late, he said he processed 60,000 rows didn't find what he was looking for but his hard drive overheated on the full pass.
Discs don't overheat because there was load. Even if he f***** up and didn't index the data correctly (I assume it's a relational database since he's talking about rows) The disc isn't just going to overheat because the job is big. It's going to be lack of air flow or lack of heatsink.
I guarantee you he was running on an external NVMe, and one of those little shitty-ass Chinese enclosures. Or maybe one of those self immolating SanDisk enclosures. Hell, maybe he's on a desktop and he slept a raw NVMe on his motherboard without a heatsink
There are times when you want a brilliant college student on your team, But you need seasoned professionals to help them through the things they've never seen before and never done before.
music theaters also have rows, and they run on sql so logic checks out.
Can't be a relational database, Musk said the government doesn't use SQL.
Lol he also said cybertrucks don't suck ;)
He said many things.
grep would eat 60k lines without a problem too.
Somehow I feel over clicking without understanding of the consequences sounds like something a techbro would do
You're not supposed to place your laptop directly in the lap of your fur suit. Always leave an air gap for ventilation, smh.
This cannot be real, wtf. This is cartoon levels of ineptitude.
Or sabotage by someone heading out? Please let this be resistance sabotage they haven’t noticed yet.
You guys arent running your software off raspberry pi's with sdcards from the gas station?
My allowance is 5$ a month!
I think my Pi could process 60k rows without overheating. And the poor thing is dangling behind my bookshelf from its power cord with a fine layer of dust coating every inch of it.
Look, all I’m saying is give Pis a chance.
Either she knows something novel, where processing data using voice coils is somehow beneficial, or is someone who calls their computer a ‘hard drive’, which summarily negates any legitimacy of technical competence.
Or wrote the code using AI without checking what it exactly does.
The AI probably used bogosort or something equivalent
I will now attempt a full comment ... brace your hard drives
Bro seriosuly fuck off my phone is overheating now. Thanks
I smell something, but it's not overheating electronics.
I've processed over 5 million records on a laptop that's almost 10 years old. it took two days to get my results.
there's no way 60,000 records overheated ANYTHING.
Doesn't actually say that 60k overheated his drive. He says that he ran a run on 60k, and that he couldn't do the whole database due to overheating. Two unrelated statements except that 60k is the lower bound for what he could process.
Doesn't mean he knows what he's doing though, as pretty huge datasets are processable on quite modest hardware if you do it right.
that's somehow worse.
a "data analyst" couldn't cut up the work into a parallel processes and run them synchronously? what the actual fuck?
"sorry, I can only do 60k at a time."
just fucking split them up into 6 parallel batch processes running 10k at a time. it's fucking math, not rocket science. I'm not even an analyst and I could fucking do that much.
“I store my records on vinyl. You’ve probably never heard of them.”
60k rows of anything will be pulled into the file cache and do very little work on the drive. Possibly none after the first read.
You can put 60k rows in Excel 95.

I'm a data engineer that processes 2 billion row 3000 column datasets every day, and I open shit in Excel with more than 60k rows. What the hell is this chick talking about?
