Hiking the world in search of rare cheeses

Hacker News | positive | Published: 13:15 Oct 12, 2026 (Eastern)

Former commercial cheesemaker Trevor Warmedahl embarked on a global journey to document traditional and rare cheesemaking methods across more than 20 countries. Over the past six years, he has traveled to remote regions in places like Mongolia, Georgia, and Turkey to experience pastoral lifestyles, learn about natural dairy processing, and study how local cheeses reflect the history, culture, and relationship between communities and their landscapes.

Thorla-McKee Well in Caldwell, Ohio

Atlas Obscura | positive | Published: 16:00 Oct 13, 2026 (Eastern)

In 1814 in Caldwell, Ohio, Silas Thorla and Robert McKee drilled into the earth searching for briny water to produce salt, but instead encountered crude oil as an unwanted byproduct. Finding the petroleum to be a nuisance that interfered with salt production, they used wool blankets to soak it up and bottled it to market as the medicinal cure "Seneca Oil." The well occasionally shot brine water and oil 40 feet into the air, and at least once caught fire due to a night-shift lantern or burning coal. While the original 1814 well was covered, their 1816 well remains with its sycamore casing and is claimed by Ohio as the country's first oil well, preceding America's first commercial oil well dedicated explicitly to crude oil.

How artificial neural networks build their own learning machinery

MIT AI Research | neutral | Published: 17:00 Oct 13, 2026 (Eastern)

Researchers at MIT's McGovern Institute and the K. Lisa Yang ICoN Center published a paper in PNAS arguing that an artificial neural network's biological plausibility depends on its ability to organize itself without a developer's guidance. The team demonstrated that a group of randomly connected units, governed by simple rules such as "neurons that fire together wire together," can build its own learning machinery and perform at levels similar to networks that rely on standard machine learning algorithms like back-propagation. The findings aim to help neuroscientists understand the rules of biological learning in the brain, which could eventually inform new therapies and improve machine learning systems.
