Those were some good reads. Appreciate it. The use of API naming to indicate intent for a license was particularly clever.

Included were arguments against triple modular redundancy in favor of other models, the uses of zero registers + proposal to use them on floating-point, and Mashey's algorithm counterpoint to Knuth's work. Those are a few I found quickly that were good and non-obvious to most at some point. There's a lot of stuff on here but the links are each short for easy skimming.
Good resource.
