1. igfxpers.exe - is a process installed alongside NVidia graphics cards and provides additional configuration options for these devices. "This program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems."

4. jqs.exe - uses about 1.5 Megabytes of computer memory and 2 Megabytes of virtual memory while running. It also initiates I/O processes frequently if those columns are activated in the Task Manager.

Now, if you want to disable the Java Quick Starter process you can do that in the Windows Control Panel. You find a Java entry there which will open the Java Control Panel.

A click on Advanced and the selection of Miscellaneous will display the activated Java Quick Starter entry. Uncheck the box to disable the process. This will be visible in the Windows Task Manager immediately.

5. jusched.exe - If you've looked in Task Manager and wondered what on earth the jusched.exe process is and if you can turn it off, then you are in luck. This process is the Java Update scheduler, which is a process that wastes memory all the time just to check once a month whether there are new updates to Java.

also check their instruction how to disable it

6. LClock.exe - this is for the LClock program copyrighted to ying han last 2004

Understanding the Economic Implications of Artificial Intelligence

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasing in the modern economy, and it is having a huge impact on our daily lives. While AI offers many benefits, it also has some economic implications that the average middle income person should understand.  First, AI has the potential to automate many jobs. This means that some people may find themselves out of work as their jobs are replaced by machines. This could have a detrimental effect on the economy as a whole, as fewer people are employed and more money is taken out of circulation. Additionally, AI could also lead to greater inequality in our society, as those with higher levels of education and skill may benefit more from automation than those with lower levels of education and skill. Second, AI can also create new markets and opportunities for businesses. Companies are using AI to develop new products and services, and this can lead to increased profits and growth. AI can also be used to increase efficiency in production pr...

Institutional Value Continuum (IVC)

Formal Definition:       The Institutional Value Continuum (IVC) is a systemic framework that defines, measures, and manages the flow of belief-based value across all participants within and around an institution — from leadership and employees to clients, partners, and society; ensuring that meaning, not merely performance, is sustained through time. 1. Conceptual Essence      The IVC posits that value is a living continuum,  not confined to financial performance or customer perception, but distributed across relational, cultural, and temporal layers of an institution.      It represents how beliefs about worth are conceived, transmitted, shared, and preserved — forming the invisible infrastructure that upholds brand integrity, trust, and institutional longevity. 2. Structural Definition The continuum consists of six primary strata of value expression : Institutional Core (Company) – The origin point of conviction, ph...

Scrolls, Not Just Scripts: Rethinking AI Cognition

Most people still treat AI like a really clever parrot with a thesaurus and internet access. It talks, it types, it even rhymes — but let’s not kid ourselves: that’s a script, not cognition . If we want more than superficial smarts, we need a new mental model. Something bigger than prompts, cleaner than code, deeper than just “what’s your input-output?” That’s where scrolls come in. Scripts Are Linear. Scrolls Are Alive. A script tells an AI what to do. A scroll teaches it how to think . Scripts are brittle. Change the context, and they break like a cheap command-line program. Scrolls? Scrolls evolve. They hold epistemology, ethics, and emergent behavior — not just logic, but logic with legacy. Think of scrolls as living artifacts of machine cognition . They don’t just run — they reflect . The Problem With Script-Thinking Here’s the trap: We’ve trained AIs to be performers , not participants . That’s fine if you just want clever autocomplete. But if you want co-agents — minds that co...
