gorn

The automatic programming system considered by Gorn in that paper was an assembler in today’s terminology.

One small step for man, one giant leap for Gorn combat.

Looks like the photos were taken before the Gorn attack.

The Gorn rocks are totally worth a visit.

That's how you end up with situations like how the Gorn (a throwaway character that Captain Kirk encounters in Star Trek) has a more thorough Wikipedia article than many Nobel Prize winners.

Or as we learned on Star Trek, some rope, bamboo, charcoal, rocks, sulfur and Gorn dung will make a one time weapon.

All that one has to do is write the specifications for the software, and the computer will find a program [...] The oldest paper known to me that discusses automatic programming was written in the 1940s by Saul Gorn when he was working at the Aberdeen Proving Ground.

Carr III and Saul Gorn — began connecting Turing’s 1936 paper “On Computable Numbers” to a broader vision of computer science in 1955.

I don't play too much VR these days, but enjoyed Beat Saber for "stationary movement", Gorn for beating up stuff and the VR ports of the original Serious Sam games for "run and shoot like a maniac".

It might be possible to gather them and build a crude weapon to defeat the Gorn.

Gorn and Creed were also fun, but most of my time was spent with Beat Saber.

Gorn got close-ish, Beat Saber got close-ish.
