Oh my. Today’s choice is of spot lights and down lights. The kitchen and dining area will have those elegant lights sunk into the ceiling (downlights in Norwegian, who knows what they’re called in English), and the hall and one bedrooom will have spot lights on tracks. The sofa area will have more intimate lighting. Doesn’t that sound sexy? So anyway, I’m choosing spot lights, and look, one of the suggestions is called Jilly. Of course I find it the most beautiful. But oh my, they’re expensive… Might have to keep looking.

The Forum is a recently launched initiative from OpenAI that is meant to be “a community designed to unite thoughtful contributors from a diverse array of backgrounds, skill sets, and domain expertise to enable […]
I’m thrilled to announce another publication from our European Research Council (ERC)-funded research project on Machine Vision: Gabriele de Setaand Anya Shchetvina‘s paper analysing how Chinese AI companies visually present machine vision technologies. They find that the Chinese machine vision imaginary is global, blue and competitive. De Seta, Gabriele, and Anya Shchetvina. “Imagining Machine […]
Whenever I give talks about ChatGPT and LLMs, whether to ninth graders, businesses or journalists, I meet people who are hungry for information, who really want to understand this new technology. I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – but yesterday, Eirik Solheim said that every time […]

At least where I am (Southern California), lights sunk into the ceiling are often called can lights, though I’ve also seen them described as recessed lights or recessed can lights. We plan on using them liberally during our remodeling.
