All you have is a bunch of unrealized potential. And all you are - is a canvas. And the painter. And the paintbrush. The colors are the colors of your imagination, and the strokes are just as bold or gentle as you are.

You are the cosmos experiencing itself.

For the longest time all of our stats for display have been done via materialized views. This is convenient but grew aggravating as changing and iterating on their design is expensive; they're relatively inflexible. The move afaict is to create real tables that can be updated incrementally and in an idempotent way.

TIL about GROUPING SETS in postgres and the ability to create bitmasks with GROUPING which are really helpful because we want seven groups afaict (bucket is a time bucket):

    GROUP BY GROUPING SETS (
        (bucket),                                -- 7  GLOBAL
        (bucket, "payInType"),                   -- 6  GLOBAL_BY_TYPE
        (bucket, "subName"),                     -- 5  SUB_TOTAL         (kept even if subName is NULL)
        (bucket, "subName","payInType"),         -- 4  SUB_BY_TYPE       (kept even if subName is NULL)
        (bucket, "userId"),                      -- 3  USER_TOTAL
        (bucket, "userId","payInType"),          -- 2  USER_BY_TYPE
        (bucket, "subName","userId"),            -- 1  SUB_BY_USER       (kept even if subName is NULL)
        (bucket, "userId","subName","payInType") -- 0  USER_SUB_BY_TYPE  (kept even if subName is NULL)
    ))

If you saw the discussion from yesterday about spark addresses being publicly searchable (#1251215) and you wondered whether this was true for Breez when it uses Spark...

Apparently, Breez SDK does not expose Spark addresses:

oh cool! It's interesting to see a little bit about their decision. From what @moneyball said in his talk at bitcoin++ (05:25:04):

When I inquired, it's not a technology limitation but actually an intentional policy decision by their NC...uh...I can't steelman the argument. They feel like it's disingenuous to users to not publish it because of the risk of a Spark Operator potentially publishing it

It sounds like the reasoning is that in a world where there are many Spark Operators, users are vulnerable to this privacy leak if the operators choose to reveal the data or if they have a leak. So rather than have people lulled into a false sense of security, Spark chose to make it clear that your address is trackable.

It seems like this would have been okay if there had been a lot more communication about this as one of the trade-offs of using Spark.

It is still the case that Breez has access to all users spark addresses.

mark my words: in 2026 all "spark operators" will be declared as "money transmitters" and will have to KYC all their losers.

Happiness Journal 9/10/25

My fifth graders’ hyperactivity is starting to get on my nerves. I understand that their prefrontal cortexes are not fully developed yet, so there is no excuse for bad behaviour. Clowning around, disturbing their classmates, treating my subject with scant respect.

Then, a brainwave came to my mind. In view of the meeting with the school leaders in November, I should start recording down every misdemeanor in my trusty notebook. (I often carry it to class.) I would use evidence to convey their misdeeds to the principals, if need be. They will not climb over Sensei’s head!
