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."
processlibrary.com says its not a critical component. so there's nothing to worry about

2. igfxsrvc.exe - is a process associated with Intel(R) Common User Interface from Intel Corporation. It is installed with graphic card drivers with Intel chipsets. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

i wouldn't want to terminate this.

3. igfxtray.exe - is a process which allows you to access the Intel Graphics configuration and diagnostic application for the Intel 810 series graphics chipset. This program is a non-essential system process, and is installed for ease of use via the desktop tray.

also a non-critical component says liutilities.com

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.

that's according to howtogeek.com
also check their instruction how to disable it

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

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...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 2: On Economics

And you thought physics and economics weren't related. In the decades following World War II, economists believed they had finally cracked the code. John Maynard Keynes had given them a framework as powerful, in its own way, as Newton's laws of motion. The economy, Keynes argued, could be managed like a machine. When recession threatened, governments should increase spending to stimulate demand. When inflation loomed, they should pull back. The equations were elegant. The logic was compelling. And for nearly three decades, it worked. Finance ministers spoke with the confidence of engineers. Central bankers made pronouncements with Newtonian certainty. The business cycle—that chaotic swing between boom and bust that had plagued capitalism since its inception—could be smoothed out through careful adjustment of a few key variables. Unemployment and inflation moved in predictable, inverse relationships. Push one down, the other rises. Pull the right levers, and you could keep both ...
