Hmm of course erasure codes would always need to solve these problems. Not sure what modern applications need that in the X86 world I really think it's only AE

Hmm of course erasure codes would always need to solve these problems. Not sure what modern applications need that in the X86 world I really think it's only AES since thats the only place I've seen that polynomial used. But of course maybe there's an obscure tape backup FEC algo used somewhere in datacenters?
