I take it to mean that there is an effective generally accepted solution or methodology for problems in the field. Bridge building has been largely solved by methods of mathematical and computational structural analysis, manufacturing, and government regulation. We know how to build a bridge. Before the solution was known, designers would just go by intuition and we wouldn’t have any actual assurance that the bridge would hold. We can probably never solve larger domains like physics, programming, or architecture.
- jakderrida 3y agoBut your bridge building analogy doesn't define what "solved" means still. When it comes to bridge building, "solved" means the bridge won't collapse under expected conditions. All you did was bring up an area where "solved" does have a definition, but that does nothing to define "solved" in the field we're discussing.

- gattilorenz 3y agoI think NLP is closer to architecture than to bridge building (and even there, I’m sure we’re still probably researching stuff to know more about how to calculate the stresses and whatnot)
