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.

Can't be a relational database, Musk said the government doesn't use SQL.

Please remember that he is a genius. Only geniuses say a lot of things.

I rest my case.

Lol he also said cybertrucks don't suck ;)

yes but also why say 60K when you could have literally said anything? I mean surely the fact that he thinks 60K rows a big number is already explaining alot lol.

It's bait.

They probably have an explanation tweet at the ready to make more sense of it. They just want enough 'hurr durr these idiot" comments before they reverse Uno card this with more context.

Based on all that has been going on, I feel like they don't really have the capacity to think more than one step ahead. They do sth stupid and then they usually follow up with "lol joke" or "lol you can't understand"

Wait, seriously?

I don't get how people don't see this stuff. Yea the average trumpet isn't out there planning Jack shit. But there are think tanks that are. Remember anti-smoking campaigns. Anti climate change campaign. The precision to purchase advertising into key areas and specific demographics that would spread a message. This is ancient knowledge with modern technology.

Imagine a room full of former Wall Street, quants, established experts from fields like behavioral science and psychology. All with the singular goal to decide where to dedicate a dragons horde of wealth to maximize effect in a world where we all have anonymous pipes directly into our eyes and ears. We never stood a chance. There's no rich socialist funding think tanks. There's no counter. We can laugh at the yokel all we want. But the yokel is being puppeteered by some scary fuckers with intention to seize power with the new shifting Zeitgeist. Soldiers don't need to think. But their generals are. The left are like guerilla fighters going up against an imperial army full of Patons and Eisenhower's.

Cambridge analytical, heritage foundation, international democracy Union. We're fucked until we actually recognize why we're fucked

Somehow I feel over clicking without understanding of the consequences sounds like something a techbro would do

music theaters also have rows, and they run on sql so logic checks out.
