Ask HN: What problem would you solve with unlimited resources? (August 2025)

2 points by hedayet 11mo ago ↗ HN

I love the innovative ideas and unexpected insights from the HN community. Let's go deep - what challenge would you tackle if you had unlimited resources? Guaranteed funding, access to top talent, or freedom from your day job? Why would you choose to solve it? Do you actually need unlimited resources to start?

All kinds of things need doing.

Rehydrate the Sahara

A full recapture/recycle workflow for landfill

Carbon capture (of course), but new ideas needed

Fully recognize eco diversity on the balance sheet

With unlimited resources, there's no reason to choose only one. I'd tackle all of them.

Computer security, the problem is solved, but such systems remain a very small niche.

Personal data management, it's been 80 years, and we still don't have a Memex.

Computing for LLMs and other predictable loads - FPGAs are unsuitable because they are optimized for the wrong things.
