I start the day early. The streets in St John’s Wood are empty — it’s a bank holiday in the UK — and Regent’s Park is too. Here I notice the first problem of the day. Although the sky is grey and unthreatening, the wind is my concern. It’s stripping the trees of their blossom. Pollen is soon in my face and catching on my clothes. I took an antihistamine before I set off; I hope it’ll be enough to see me through.

The intersection of GPUs and compilers is small, but happily for the last couple of years I’ve worked on the compiler for Metal’s shading language and the driver for Apple Silicon GPUs. A strange series of accidents lead me here, but I can draw a line from that Year 10 form room to my career today. a b Fulford, Robert (14 May 2002). "Kieslowski's magnificent Decalogue".

Concern should not stop at the image but delve into and develop it—like Thomas in Antonioni’s Blow-Up—to see what else it may contain. No wonder Dekalog: Four ends with the perusal of an enigmatic yet very everyday photograph. No wonder the end of Three Colors: Red discovers new meaning in a fashion photograph of Valentine. No wonder Magda, seated beside another Thomas in A Short Film About Love, uncovers the stolen lens of Dekalog: Six to indicate that the truly short film cannot simply end or end as simply as it seems to, puts her eye to it, and seems to review old footage, to see as he surely saw himself in dreams: as meeting her, however fictively, where we all meet most truly, in our need.Dekalog: One ( Polish: Dekalog, jeden) is the first part of Dekalog, the drama series of films directed by Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski for television, possibly connected to the first and second imperatives of the Ten Commandments: "I am the Lord your God; you shall have no other gods before me" and "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image." This questioning of faith is explicitly dealt with in the film’s narrative. Both the mise en scène and dialogue of The Decalogue 1 feature more direct links with religion than other entries in the Biblically-structured Dekalog. Two of the film’s key scenes take place either in front of or within a church that features a large cross in its walls: the Church of the Ascension of the Lord. Moreover, while Kieślowski and Piesiewicz primarily sought to use contemporary stories to highlight the commandments’ continuing relevance – leaving philosophical and theological discussions to the side to show their relevance to real moral decision-making (prompting Ebert to suggest that the characters do not even discuss the commandments or ethical views) – The Decalogue 1 actually includes several discussions explicitly contrasting empirical and spiritual approaches to life. After Pawel sees a dead dog in front of the aforementioned church, he asks his father about the nature of death. Krzysztof responds with an answer that is medical in nature. Pawel continues: “I mean, what is death?”, to which he receives another medical response. When he asks about the existence of the soul, he is told that the only things that survive us are achievements and memories. By contrast, when Pawel’s aunt Irena (Maja Komorowska) shows him a picture and Pawel asks, “Do you think he knows the meaning of life?”, his aunt responds positively as the camera shows us that it is a picture of Pope John-Paul II. This contrast of views is made explicitly during a phone call. After Krzysztof agrees to let Pawel attend religious classes, Irina asks if Krzysztof will take him the following day. Krzysztof sighs and looks ahead. The film then cuts to a medium shot of the computer, which distracts Krzysztof and leads him to end the conversation. In an unexplained occurrence echoing Krzysztof’s earlier lecture suggesting a properly programmed computer could have a personality, it reads, “I am ready”.

I jog past Harrods. Influencers pose for identikit photos all along the street. I’m guilty too, I think to myself: I’ve been taking poorly framed selfies in front of flags all morning.
