Check "An in vitro acoustic analysis and comparison of popular stethoscopes" [0]. There's a $8 stethoscope - Mabis Spectrum, with great performance, according to this study.

Yes, if you're going to be using it for the next 10 years, it is worth going for the more expensive Littman if you can. However, I've heard that there are decent Chinese clones, and honestly I've used those $1 stethoscopes in isolation units and they're not terrible for basic pulmonary auscultation.

For all we know, there could be 10 people paying for a ChatGPT subscription and not using it enough to subsidize 1 power user _and_ still have money left for profit.

New comment by davikr in "A $20/month user costs OpenAI $65 in compute. AI video is a money furnace"

davikr — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 23:25:43 +0000

That might be the calculus. Well, I'll be glad to leech off whoever's offering the most amount of tokens, with the best models, for the cheapest price, and then they'll get some of my money and hopefully some bigger customers.

A $20/month Codex user probably costs thousands of dollars in compute (for multiple providers). I think they just want to weather it over until compute is eventually cheap enough, has to be, otherwise it'll always be unsustainable.
