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.

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