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.
@LovesTha@floss.social@molly0xfff You've gotta be doing something specially dumb to have 60k rows trip you up. I've played with spreadsheets with more rows....
@molly0xfff (I was doing something particularly dumb)
@LovesTha @molly0xfff I concur, sounds like they're overpriviliged undereducated grad students who haven't bothered even asking chatgpt how to do database queries
@LovesTha @molly0xfff whoa whoa whoa, how do your spreadsheets go beyond 65536 rows? /s
(The quoted number is suspiciously close to this)
@GuillaumeRossolini @molly0xfff custom compiled version of one of the floss spread sheet apps. I think I got close to 1M rows before I gave up and did it a proper way.
@GuillaumeRossolini @molly0xfff (yes I saw the /s)
@GuillaumeRossolini @LovesTha @molly0xfff I've used a spreadsheet where rows from 65536 onwards were wrong, but that was a bug in the tool that generated the spreadsheet from another data source.
Excel from "twenty years in the past" might not handle it though.
@armb @LovesTha @molly0xfff yeah that’s a given, but if this person is using excel (and so outdated), that’s not a great look 
[edit] as it relates to their claim of hard drive overheating, even if in jest
@GuillaumeRossolini @LovesTha @molly0xfff dude, have you even heard about google spreadsheets?
