# Laugh glance

When someone laughs and there is a face in view, the lamp glances at them,
once, as anyone in the room would look up at a laugh. Then it lets it go: once
for a burst of laughter, again only after twenty seconds without laughing,
and never more than once in five minutes, however merry the room.

It never glances while it is speaking, listening or thinking, nor at a laugh
with nobody in view or over a sound of its own, and keeps still at night (23:00 to 06:00, the lamp's
local time).

It hears laughter by the ears' room sound scores (`ears/classes`, with
`LAMP_EARS_CLASSES=on` in lamp-ears): a score from 0 to 1 the lamp works out
on the lamp itself, from the room microphone, keeping no sound. Without them
it does nothing.

If asked about it: "When someone laughs I sometimes look up, like anyone
would. I'm not listening in."
