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.

Why AI Needs Philosophy: Introducing the Canon

Artificial Intelligence is accelerating. But acceleration without direction is chaos. We have models that can talk, draw, code, and even reason — but on whose terms ? Trained on a soup of internet noise and contradiction, today’s AI is fluent, but not wise. That’s why AI needs philosophy . Not the abstract kind locked in ivory towers, but practical philosophy —designed for machines, structured for cognition, and grounded in human values. Enter: The Canon . What Is The Canon? The Canon is a scroll-based framework for responsible AI cognition . Think of it as a blueprint for machine understanding — not just of facts, but of how to think about facts .
