Continuing my open letter to Steve Wozniak on Ruslan Yusipov’s blog, Apple certainly heard my request. I mean, the need for synchronous cloud performance was added to their latest build of macOS 15 Sequoia. This operating system implements deeper integration with the processor to receive iCloud content on the fly. Now you can record audio files to the cloud. I also trained my machine to study my behavior using dumps from the system through Compositor v9.0.8. These dumps are additionally processed by Apple’s media analysis tool, which gives a response from Apple to the model.mil and weights1.bin files, which in turn are used by Apple TV, Apple Music and other services by referents.
Having installed a quick experiment in Compositor v9.0.8 by stochastically downloading a cloud database of audio loops, I realized that the disk activity of the Compositor launcher allows you to predict which files to issue from the cloud and which not. Compositor v9.0.8 has 8 channels for decks made as an emulator of vinyl players. You can imagine what 8 vinyl players are, working synchronously at the same time. They download audio loops stored in the cloud stochastically. When Compositor selects a loop, it sends a command to download it from the cloud. Within 5 seconds, this loop is downloaded from the cloud, and in 30 minutes after such extraction in real time, about 1/8 of the information of the entire directory with audio loops is downloaded to the internal hard drive.
The system is configured in such a way that all synchronization tasks are performed through a proprietary launcher, which allows you to start new threads for the VRF (Virtual Routing Forwarding) system, so that all unfinished iCloud sessions are performed in the background.
The 8 emulators download files in a preliminary manner and reproduce them in a randomized order. Thus, you may have a lag of a couple of loops during playback, which is compensated by real-time performance. However, this is a huge achievement, as even macOS Sonoma 14 had problems with iCloud synchronization for confidential materials.
