Get legal advice. There are a number of resources locally that might be able to help you sort through this, if you look up your local community centre they might be able to offer you some sort of counselling to help you sort through it.

From a legal standpoint, here's a checklist.

When you describe your husband, you mentioned his being on the spectrum - this might influence his behaviour, but being neurodivergent is no excuse to be an arsehole. That is a CHOICE that he is making.

You are absolutely in an emotionally abusive relationship, if your daughter is begging you to get out, it's WAY past time for you to have made a move. Every day you stay with him is giving him another opportunity to hurt and emotionally stunt your daughter.

I absolutely give you props for posting here, this is a hard decision to make, and you've already made the first step. Keep the momentum going, actually make a plan to leave. Figure out what you are entitled to in terms of child support payments and talk to someone in social services about the likelihood of housing support, and what paths to follow.

Good luck.

Trying to seduce your husband has nothing to do with marriage - hers or your husband's. It's all about conquest and winning. If she is successful in getting your husband's attention off you and onto herself, then she wins a new trophy she can display for all the world to see, including her own husband.

Do not assume people have morals. Never assume that because someone is married that they are not also scumbags. This is a competition for her. She is obviously jealous of and threatened by you, and by your relationship with your husband. If she can cause problems between you two, then she feels powerful again.

Since she is a coworker, your husband could file a complaint with HR if her behavior continues. If she is creating a hostile work environment, the company will be required to either remove her from the area your husband works in, or if there are other complaints, remove her from the company completely.

It's nasty little girls like her that make success in the workplace still so difficult for so many women in the 21st Century.

I've used autoencoders on spectrograms and in theory you don't need an A100 or 80M spectrograms to have some results.

I've not used ViTMAE specifically but I read similar papers. I'm not sure on how to interpret the value of the loss. You can use some tips which are valid for most of DL projects. Can your model overfit on a smaller version of your dataset (1000 spectrograms) ? If yes, perhaps your model isn't large / efficient enough to process your whole dataset (though bird songs shouldn't be that hard to learn imo). At least you could easily do more epochs faster with this method and debug some parameters. If your model can't overfit, you may have a problem in your pre/post processing.

Do ViTMAE models need normalized inputs? Spectrograms can have large values by default which may not be easy to process, they may be hard to normalize. Your input and your output should be in a coherent range of values and you should use the right layers in your model if you want that to happen. Also fp16 training can mess up with that.

ViTMAE isn't specifically for sounds right? I think there have been multiple attemps to use it for sounds, this paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.09058v1.pdf) cites other papers:

>Inspired by the success of the recent visual pre-training method MAE [He et al., 2022], MSM-MAE [Niizumi et al., 2022], MaskSpec [Chong et al., 2022], MAE-AST [Baade et al., 2022] and Audio-MAE [Xu et al., 2022] learn the audio representations following the Transformer-based encoder-decoder design and reconstruction pre-training task in MAE

You can try to see their results and how they made it work, these papers probably also published their code.

Be careful with how you process sounds, the pre/post processing is different than for images which may induce some problems.

One of the theories about why Qanon was pushed so heavily in right was to help cover up international sex trafficking.

It may have been a way to hurt actual child trafficking investigations by flooding the system with claims and forcing investigators to decipher what was real and false. In fact there are actual stories about the movement hurting operations.

Given the orgins of Qanon it would make sense. Jim Watkins the suspected creator of the conspiracy theory at one point was hosting a CP site.

It depends on the kind of French fries I’m eating.

If they’re the super thin cut like McDonald’s, I’ll eat them 2 at a time dipped in ranch or barbecue.

Curly fries (if seasoned) I’ll eat one at a time no sauce.

Thicker cut fries (steak, crinkle, etc) one at a time with sauce. Sauce can change depending on if fries are seasoned or not.
